ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING DISPLAY OF MULTIPLE WINDOW, OPERATION METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18217196 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING DISPLAY OF MULTIPLE WINDOW, OPERATION METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
According to an embodiment, an electronic device comprises a display and at least one processor. The processor is configured to display a first window of an application through the display. Based on a first input, the processor can display a second window on a first partial area of the first window to hide that area. Through a second input, the processor can display the hidden first partial area of the first window. When the second input is released, the processor can display the second window again to hide the first partial area of the first window.
- The electronic device includes a display and at least one processor.
- The processor can display a first window of an application on the display.
- Based on a first input, the processor can display a second window on a first partial area of the first window to hide it.
- Through a second input, the processor can display the previously hidden first partial area of the first window.
- Releasing the second input causes the processor to display the second window again to hide the first partial area of the first window.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Enhancing user experience by providing a flexible and customizable display layout.
- Enabling multitasking by allowing users to view multiple windows simultaneously.
- Improving privacy by selectively hiding sensitive information within an application.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Limited screen space can make it challenging to view multiple windows or applications at the same time.
- Users may want to hide certain parts of an application to focus on specific content or protect sensitive information.
- Switching between different windows or applications can be time-consuming and disrupt workflow.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased productivity and efficiency by enabling multitasking and easy access to hidden content.
- Enhanced user control and customization of the display layout.
- Improved privacy and security by selectively hiding sensitive information within an application.
