Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms "first", "second" and the like in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It is to be understood that the data so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application can be practiced in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, and distinguish between "first", "second", etc. The objects are usually of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object may be one or more than one. In addition, "and/or" in the description and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character "/" generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

The display method, display device, and electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a flowchart of a display method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1 , the display method may include the following steps:

Step 101: Receive a first input from a user.

Step 102: In response to the first input, display thumbnails of interfaces of multiple application programs.

Step 103: Receive a second input from the user for dragging a first thumbnail image among the thumbnail images of the interfaces of the multiple application programs onto a second thumbnail image.

Step 104: In response to the second input, display the interface of the first application corresponding to the second thumbnail, and display the second thumbnail corresponding to the first thumbnail on the interface of the first application. The interface of the application.

In a specific implementation, the above-mentioned first input may include at least one of operation types such as clicking, sliding, and double-clicking. Of course, it may also be a pressing operation on hardware on the electronic device, etc., and the above-mentioned second input may be sliding. input, and the sliding start point of the sliding input is located on the first thumbnail, and the sliding end point of the sliding input is located on the second thumbnail. Of course, the second input can also include a click on the first thumbnail or the second thumbnail, Long press operations, etc., are not specifically limited here.

In addition, the interface of the above-mentioned first application program can also be referred to as the "first application program interface", and the first thumbnail image can be understood as the second application program interface reduced in equal proportions. Similarly, the second thumbnail image can be It is understood as the first application program interface after the proportional reduction. In addition, the floating display of the interface of the second application program corresponding to the first thumbnail image on the interface of the first application program may be to display the interface of the first application program in full screen, and display the interface of the second application program in full screen. After being scaled down, it is suspended and displayed on the first application program interface, that is, the second application program interface is scaled down according to its length-width ratio, and the size of the second application program interface after the reduction is the same as that of the second application program interface before the reduction. The aspect ratio is the same, so that deformation or incomplete display of the reduced second application program interface can be avoided.

In addition, the above-mentioned suspending and displaying the reduced second application program interface on the first application program interface may be suspending and displaying the reduced second application program interface in a blank area on the first application program interface, or The reduced second application program interface avoids the display of the display content of the first application program interface. Specifically, the blank area in the first application program interface or the position information on which the display content is displayed may be identified by means of page content identification, so as to determine the display position of the second application program interface according to the position information.

Of course, after the reduced second application program interface is suspended and displayed on the first application program interface, the user can also manually adjust the display position of the reduced second application program interface, specifically by long pressing After inputting and selecting the second application program interface, slide on the first application program interface, so that the reduced second application program interface moves with the touch position.

It should be noted that, before receiving the first input, the first application may be in a running state, and the second application may also be in a running state, wherein the running state may include a foreground running state and a background running state.

Case 1

Before receiving the first input, when the first application program and the second application program are respectively in the running state, the above-mentioned first input may be the input for triggering the display of the preview window of the running program, for example, double-clicking the main menu (home) button . The thumbnails for displaying the interfaces of a plurality of application programs may be thumbnails of the interfaces of all the application programs in the foreground running state and the background running state displayed in the running program preview window. And the second input is a touch input in the preview window of the running program.

In a specific implementation, when the thumbnails of other application program interfaces other than the first thumbnail and the second thumbnail are displayed in the preview window of the running program, when viewing an application running in the background, a plurality of background running applications are displayed. The applications are arranged in the same direction. When there are many applications running in the background (for example, 5 or even more than 10), only 3 thumbnails of the application interface can be displayed in the running application preview window. When you swipe left and right, you can switch the thumbnails displayed in the preview window of the running program to view the thumbnails of the application interface that are not displayed in the current window. For example, by touching the main menu button on the mobile phone, the electronic device displays the running program preview window 20 as shown in FIG. Sketch 21 corresponds to the different application program interfaces. At this time, if the first thumbnail and the second thumbnail are not displayed in the same interface, it is inconvenient to drag the first thumbnail onto the second thumbnail.

In order to facilitate dragging the first thumbnail onto the second thumbnail, the implementation manner adopted by any of the following embodiments may be adopted:

Example 1

A switch button is displayed in the running program preview window, and when the user touches the switch button, at least part of the thumbnails of all the application program interfaces running in the background are displayed in the running program preview window in a grid arrangement. For example, as shown in Figures 2a and 2b, when the user touches the switch button 22 shown in Figure 2a, the interface shown in Figure 2b is displayed, and the interface includes at least part of the thumbnails of all application programs running in the background. In a specific implementation, the size of each thumbnail may decrease as the number of applications running in the background increases.

Embodiment 2

When the user starts to perform the second input (ie, clicks and drags the first thumbnail), at least part of the thumbnails of all the application program interfaces running in the background are displayed in the running program preview window in a grid arrangement. For example: when the user presses the first thumbnail for a long time, at least part of the thumbnails of all the application program interfaces running in the background are displayed in the preview window of the running program in a grid arrangement. In this way, the second thumbnail can be displayed in the preview window of the running program. At least part of the thumbnail, so that the user can drag the first thumbnail onto the second thumbnail, so that the second application program interface corresponding to the first thumbnail is suspended and displayed on the first application program interface corresponding to the second thumbnail superior.

It should be noted that when at least part of the thumbnails of all the application program interfaces running in the background are displayed in the running program preview window in a grid arrangement, the switching button 22 can be clicked in the running program preview window to switch to The normal display mode, that is, as shown in FIG. 2a, the thumbnail images of a plurality of applications running in the background are arranged in the same direction.

Further, in response to the second input, the interface of the first application program corresponding to the second thumbnail image is displayed, and the interface corresponding to the first thumbnail image is displayed in a suspended manner on the interface of the first application program. The interface of the second application, including:

In response to the second input, the first target interface of the first application program is displayed in full screen, and the second target interface of the second application program with a preset window size is displayed in suspension on the first target interface.

In a specific implementation, the first target interface may be a preset interface in the first application program, and the second target interface may be a preset interface in the second application program.

Of course, in the case where the first target interface and the second target interface are not set, the current running interface of the first application can be displayed in full screen, and a preset window can be displayed floating on the first target interface size of the current running interface of the second application.

The preset window size may be a size set by the user, or may be a size pre-associated with the type of the first application or the second application.

In a specific implementation, the preset window sizes corresponding to different types of application programs are different. For example, when the first application program is a video application program, the corresponding preset window size is compared with that of the first application program. The default window size corresponding to the application of the class (for example: SMS, phone) is large.

Correspondingly, the preset window size is also related to the program type of the second application program, and specifically may be related to the importance of the interface of the second application program, the blank area, and the like. For example: in the case where the second application program interface is a social application program, the corresponding preset window size is compared with the preset size window corresponding to the second application program interface is a game-type (eg, SMS, phone) application program inch big.

As an optional implementation manner, during the sliding process of the second input: the first thumbnail moves with the touch point in the running program preview interface, and when the user touches the first preview image, feedback can be output Information, for example, when the touch time is longer than the preset time, the electronic device vibrates, or the display size of the first thumbnail is enlarged, etc., to inform the user to select the first thumbnail. In addition, when the user drags the first thumbnail into the display area of the second thumbnail, the first thumbnail is zoomed out to simulate that the second application program interface corresponding to the first thumbnail is zoomed out and displayed in the first application in a floating manner The display effect in the interface.

It should be noted that, in the process of dragging the first thumbnail, the display positions of the thumbnails of other application program interfaces do not change.

In this embodiment, when the first application program and the second application program are respectively in the running state, the second application program interface can be displayed in a floating state on the first application program interface. It is avoided that, in the related art, in the process of displaying the first application program interface and the second application program interface in a split screen, it is necessary to start the split screen display mode first, and then start the first application program and the second application program in a certain order, thereby The problem of complicated operation is caused.

Case 2

In the case where the third application program is in the running state and the fourth application program is not in the running state, the third application program interface needs to be suspended and displayed on the fourth application program interface, and the third application program interface can be controlled to be suspended and displayed first. , and then when the fourth application program is activated, the activated fourth application program interface is displayed below the first application program interface.

As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

receiving a third input from the user within the interface of the third application;

In response to the third input, the interface of the third application is reduced, and the reduced interface of the third application is displayed in suspension;

receiving a fourth input for a fourth application;

In response to the fourth input, the fourth application program is started, and the reduced interface of the third application program is suspended and displayed on the interface of the fourth application program.

In a specific implementation, the above-mentioned third input may be a touch input to a third application program interface: for example: in the application scenarios shown in Figures 3a and 3b, the third application program interface is the video playback interface 30, and the third input It is a sliding operation from the opposite sides of the video playback interface to the center of the video playback interface 30 (sliding directions shown by the relative arrows A and B in FIG. 3a), in the application, the user can move the two Fingers touch the opposite sides of the video playing interface 30 respectively, and then the two fingers are brought together, which is similar to the action of "pinch", to execute the third input.

In response to the third input, the video playback interface 30 is in a reduced state as shown in FIG. 3b. In addition, when the user finishes performing the third input and the finger leaves the touch panel, the video playback interface 30 is suspended as shown in FIG. 3c. The display state, the floating display state may be that the video playback interface 30 is suspended and displayed on the desktop or any other interface. In this way, when the user executes the fourth input to start the fourth application program, the video playback interface 30 is always displayed on the top of the fourth application program interface in a floating manner.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned fourth input may include touching the application icon of the fourth application program, operating the shortcut start button of the fourth application program, touching the thumbnail of the fourth application program interface in the preview interface of the running program, etc. In the operation of opening the fourth application or bringing the fourth application running in the background to the foreground to run.

Further, in response to the third input, reducing the interface of the third application, and displaying the reduced interface of the third application in suspension, including:

in response to the third input, obtaining the operating parameters of the third input;

determining a size adjustment parameter according to the operating parameter;

The third application program interface is reduced according to the size adjustment parameter, and the reduced third application program interface is displayed in suspension.

In a specific implementation, the operation parameter of the third input may include parameters such as sliding distance and operation duration, and the size adjustment parameter may be a size ratio or a size. In the application, the correspondence between the operation parameters and the size adjustment parameters may be stored in advance.

For example: when the third input is a sliding operation, the degree of shrinking of the third application program interface may be positively related to the sliding distance of the third input, specifically: sliding 1 cm will reduce to 0.6 times the original size, sliding 2 Centimeters are reduced to 0.5 times the original size, etc.

In this implementation manner, in the process of displaying the third application program interface, the third application program interface can be reduced through the third input and the fourth input, and the reduced third application program interface can be suspended and displayed on other application program interfaces , the display of the third application program interface is not interrupted during the period, so that it is convenient for the user to start and view other application program interfaces while watching the third application program interface. , you can open the chat interface to view and reply to chat messages without interrupting video viewing.
