SCREEN CONTROLLING METHOD AND DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17893587 titled 'SCREEN CONTROLLING METHOD AND DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and device for controlling a split screen displayed on a display. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method verifies a trigger region in the split screen based on its layout.
- It detects if the handle region of a pop-up window overlaps with the trigger region when a user interacts with it.
- The layout of the split screen is changed based on the position of the overlaid trigger region, the relative position of the handle region and a divider in the layout.
- The split screen is then displayed with the pop-up window arranged in the appropriate region.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Multi-tasking on a display with split screen functionality.
- User interfaces that involve pop-up windows or overlays.
- Controlling and managing the layout of a split screen display.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures that the pop-up window does not obstruct or interfere with the trigger region in the split screen.
- Provides a method to dynamically adjust the layout of the split screen based on user interactions.
- Improves user experience by allowing for efficient control and arrangement of the split screen display.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced usability and user experience when using split screen displays.
- Improved control and management of pop-up windows or overlays in a split screen environment.
- Flexibility in adjusting the layout of the split screen based on user interactions.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to an example embodiment, a method and device for controlling a screen displayed on a display is provided. The method includes: based on a layout of a split screen displayed on the display, verifying a trigger region in the split screen; based on a first input controlling a handle region of a pop-up window displayed on an upper layer of the split screen, detecting that at least a portion of the trigger region is overlaid with the pop-up window; changing the layout of the split screen based on at least one of a position of the portion of the trigger region overlaid with the pop-up window, a relative position of the handle region and a divider of the layout; and displaying a region in the split screen in which the pop-up window is to be arranged.
