In step 201, the pre-stored set coordinate range is read.

In one embodiment, the set coordinate range can be identified in the form of a setting icon on the screen of the terminal, and the set coordinate range can be stored in the terminal.

In step 202, the coordinate information of each point of the application icon is compared with the set coordinate range.

In one embodiment, after the user performs a long press operation on the icon of the App to be displayed in multiple windows, the user drags the App icon in the direction of the set icon. During the dragging process, the terminal can collect the coordinate information of the App icon in real time. , and compares the coordinate information of each point on the App icon with the set coordinate range.

In order to avoid misoperation, it can also be set so that when the coordinate information of a set number of points on the App coordinates falls into the set coordinate range, it can be determined that the coordinate information belongs to the set coordinate range.

In an exemplary scenario, as shown in Figure 1B, the "WeChat" icon overlaps with the setting icon. If the number of points in the overlapping part is not less than the set number, it can be confirmed that the coordinate information of the "WeChat" icon belongs to the setting coordinate range.

In this embodiment, whether the coordinate information of any point of the App icon targeted by the setting operation falls within the set coordinate range is determined to determine whether the coordinate information meets the setting conditions, thereby ensuring that the multi-window mode is turned on and avoiding complicated operations. Switching back and forth between pages effectively improves the speed and efficiency of entering multi-window mode.

Figure 3 is a flowchart of another application display method according to an exemplary embodiment; this embodiment uses the above method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, taking how to determine that coordinate information meets the set conditions as an example and combined with Figure 1B provides an exemplary explanation, as shown in Figure 3, including the following steps:

In step 301, the pre-stored set coordinate range is read.

In one embodiment, the set coordinate range can be identified in the form of a setting icon on the screen of the terminal, and the set coordinate range can be stored in the terminal.

In step 302, the coordinate information of the center point of the application icon is compared with the set coordinate range.

In one embodiment, after the user performs a long press operation on the icon of the App to be displayed in multiple windows, the user drags the App icon in the direction of the set icon. During the dragging process, the terminal can collect the center point of the App icon in real time. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the coordinate information of the center point of the App icon is used as the coordinate information of the App icon, and the coordinate information of the center point is compared with the set coordinate range.

In step 303, when the coordinate information of the center point of the application icon falls into the set coordinate range, it is determined that the coordinate information belongs to the set coordinate range.

Switching back and forth between pages effectively improves the speed and efficiency of entering multi-window mode.

Figure 4 is a flow chart of another application display method according to an exemplary embodiment; this embodiment uses the above method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure to how to set the application icon corresponding to the application program. Opening the display in multi-window mode is an example for illustrative explanation. As shown in Figure 4, the display method of the application includes the following steps 401-404:

In step 401, the current multi-window mode is determined.

In one embodiment, the multi-window mode includes a first mode and a second mode. This embodiment of the disclosure takes the first mode as an example to illustrate. The first mode is a mode in which two Apps are displayed on the same screen.

In step 402, when the multi-window mode is the first mode, if a window has been created, the application is displayed in a blank window of the created window.

In one embodiment, each time the terminal detects that an App icon is dragged to the set icon and meets the set conditions, the terminal creates a corresponding window for the multi-window mode.

In the first mode, the terminal stores multiple window sizes, window forms, window positions and arrangements of two windows, and the user can arbitrarily choose to preset the above basic parameters of the windows. Moreover, in the first mode, if the terminal detects that a window has been created, and the currently dragged App icon is the second icon of two App icons displayed on the same screen, the corresponding application will be displayed in the created window. Split-screen mode display can be realized in the blank window.

In step 403, if the window has not been created yet, two windows are created with preset window size, window shape, window position and arrangement.

If the terminal detects that a window has not been created yet, then the currently dragged App icon is the first split-screen application, and the preset parameters in the terminal can be read and two windows can be created with the preset parameters.

In step 404, the application program is displayed in one of the windows, and the first mode is a mode in which two application programs are displayed on the same screen.

In one embodiment, any window can be selected to display the App.

In an exemplary scenario, in the first mode, when it is detected that no window has been created, two windows are created with preset parameters, and "WeChat" is displayed in either window.

In this embodiment, in the first mode, windows are created based on preset parameters, thereby ensuring that the split-screen mode is enabled, avoiding complicated operations and page switching, effectively improving the speed and efficiency of entering multi-window mode, and optimizing users experience.

Figure 5A is a flow chart of another application display method according to an exemplary embodiment; this embodiment uses the above method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure to how to set the application icon corresponding to the application program. Opening the display in multi-window mode is an example and is illustrated in conjunction with Figure 5B. As shown in Figure 5A, the display method of the application includes the following steps 501-503:

In step 501, the current multi-window mode is determined.

In one embodiment, the multi-window mode includes a first mode and a second mode. This embodiment of the disclosure takes the second mode as an example to illustrate. The second mode is a mode in which two or more Apps are displayed on the same screen.

In step 502, when the multi-window mode is the second mode, for the first first application program displayed in the second mode, a first window is created with a window parameter corresponding to the number 1.

In one embodiment, each time the terminal detects that an App icon is dragged to the set icon and meets the set conditions, the terminal creates a corresponding window for the multi-window mode.

In the second mode, the terminal stores a correspondence table between window parameters and window numbers. That is to say, the window size, window form, window position and arrangement of the windows are determined based on the number of windows.

Moreover, as the number of apps that add multi-window mode increases, the terminal can adjust the parameters of the created windows in a timely manner.

In step 503, for the n-th application program displayed in the second mode, the window parameters of the n-th window are determined based on the window parameters corresponding to the number n.

For the nth App, the terminal reads the correspondence table and determines the parameters corresponding to the number n of windows, that is, window shape, window size, window position and arrangement.

In step 504, an n-th window is created based on the determined window parameters, and the created (n-1) windows are adjusted.

In step 505, the nth application program is displayed in the nth window, and the second mode is a mode in which two or more application programs are displayed on the same screen.

In an exemplary scenario, as shown in Figure 5B, in the second mode, for the first App "WeChat" to enter the second mode, the terminal reads the pre-stored correspondence table, and uses the preset window size, The window shape, window position and arrangement create the first window, and display "WeChat" in the first window; for the second App "Xiami Music" that enters the second mode, the terminal reads the pre-stored correspondence table , create a second window with the window size, window shape, window position and arrangement corresponding to the number 2 and adjust the first window to display "Xiami Music" in the second window; for the third App that enters the second mode "Zhihu", the terminal reads the pre-stored correspondence table, creates a third window with the window size, window shape, window position and arrangement corresponding to the number 3 and adjusts the first window and the second window, and changes "Zhihu" ” is displayed in the second window.

In this embodiment, in the second mode, windows are created based on the preset number of windows and the corresponding relationship between window parameters, thereby ensuring that the free mode is turned on, avoiding complicated operations and switching back and forth between pages, and effectively improving access to multiple windows. Mode speed and efficiency, optimizing user experience.

In one embodiment, when the terminal detects an operation on a created window, the position and/or size of the window is adjusted based on the operating mode of the operation. For example, when a long press and drag operation on the corner of the window is detected, the size of the window is enlarged or reduced based on the direction of the drag operation; for another example, when a long press and drag operation on the center of the window are detected, Moves the window's position based on the direction of the drag operation.
