As shown in Table 1, the processing unit 102 sets the game program W1 to correspond to the video recording program X1 and the video communication program X2, so the window configuration (g) corresponds to a first program (game program W1) and two second programs (video recording program X1 and video communication program X2). Video communication program X2). In the database, the processing unit 102 sets the text editing program W2 to correspond to the video communication program X2, so the window configuration (e) corresponds to a first program (text editing program W2) and a second program (video communication program X2). It should be noted that the examples in Table 1 are only used to illustrate the present invention, not to explain the scope of the present invention, and Table 1 does not enumerate all the embodiments to simplify the description.

Please continue to refer to Table 1, when the database (Table 1) is created, the database will be stored in the storage unit 104 . When one or more first programs (such as: game programs, text editing programs) in Table 1 are activated, the processing unit 102 finds the main window with the most foreground (foreground) in the display area of the display device 108 ( Or called: foreground window (foreground window)), as the main program. As shown in FIG. 2, when the game program W1 and the text editing program W2 are activated simultaneously, the display area of the display device 108 will simultaneously display the window P1 of the game program W1 and the window P2 of the text editing program W2. At this point, the processing unit 102 finds the main window with the most foreground among the windows P1 and P2. As shown in FIG. 2 , when the processing unit 102 finds out that the window P1 is the most promising main window, the processing unit 102 uses the game program W1 as the main program.

In general, when the user is executing the program, its window is called the one with the most foreground main window, and the color of the most foreground main window will become the most obvious, for example: the window color becomes darker or Brighten. Therefore, the processing unit 102 can determine the main window with the most foreground according to the color depth, lightness or brightness of the window, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is to say, the processing unit 102 can determine that when the color of the window P1 becomes darker, the processing unit 102 can determine that the window P1 is the most promising main window, and set the game program W1 as the main program.

In some other embodiments, when the processing unit 102 uses the game program W1 as the main program, the processing unit 102 will also reduce the window or close the window of other first programs (such as: text editing program W2), but the present invention is not limited thereto .

Next, according to multiple first identifications (W1-W2) of the database (such as Table 1), the processing unit 102 selects the working mode corresponding to the main program from the multiple working modes stored in the storage unit 104 according to the main program. as the main working mode. As shown in Figure 2 and Table 1, when the processing unit 102 recognizes that the game program W1 is the main program, the processing unit 102 finds that the working mode corresponding to the game program W1 is the game mode from the database (Table 1), and selects the game mode. mode as the main working mode.

Next, in the database (Table 1), the processing unit 102 selects the window configuration corresponding to the main working mode. As shown in Table 1, when the processing unit 102 selects the game mode as the main working mode, the processing unit 102 finds the window configuration (g) corresponding to the game mode from the database (Table 1), and the processing unit 102 finds the window configuration (g) corresponding to the game mode from the window configuration table 120 to select a window configuration (g) to prepare for splitting the display area of the display device 108 . The following will continue to explain how the processing unit 102 divides the display area of the display device 108 .

FIG. 4A is a schematic diagram of a window configuration of a display device 108 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4B is a schematic diagram of the resolution of the display device 108 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4C is a schematic diagram of a window configuration of a display device 108 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please also refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 3, Fig. 4A, Fig. 4B and Fig. 4C to illustrate various embodiments below.

In some embodiments, the size of the display area of the display device 108 is usually the same as or close to the size of the display screen of the display device 108. Those of ordinary skill in the art usually call the display area with the same size as the window of the display device 108 as full. screen mode (full screen mode), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

When the processing unit 102 selects a window configuration corresponding to the main working mode, the processing unit 102 divides the display area of the display device 108 into at least a first region R1 and a second region R2 according to the selected window configuration. The area of the first region R1 is greater than or equal to a quarter of the area of the display area. That is to say, after the processing unit 102 selects the window configuration (g) from the window configuration table 120, the processing unit 102 divides the display area of the display device 108 along the y-axis direction according to the window configuration (g), so the display area It is divided into a first region R1 and a second region R2, as shown in FIG. 4A.

In some embodiments, the display area of the display device 108 has selectable resolutions. For example, the resolutions of computer screens include: 800*600dpi, 1280*720dpi, 1600*900dpi, 1920*1080dpi, and so on. Taking the resolution of 800*600dpi as an example, according to the resolution of 800*600dpi, the processing unit 102 can divide the x-direction length of the display area of the display device 108 into 800 equal parts, and use bit values 0-799 to distinguish the x-direction length Each equal division of (hereinafter referred to as the x-bit value), as shown in Figure 4B. The processing unit 102 can divide the y-direction length of the display area of the display device 108 into 600 equal divisions, and use bit values 0 to 599 to distinguish each equal division of the y-direction length (hereinafter referred to as the y-bit value), as shown in the first Figure 4B.

As shown in FIG. 4B , window configurations (a)-(k) can be configured to cut along the y-direction of the display device 108 from any x-bit value (and/or y-bit value) of the display area. The window configurations (a)-(k) can be configured to cut along the x-direction of the display device 108 from any x-bit value (and/or y-bit value) of the display area. For example, viewport configuration (g) defines a slice from an x-bit value of 399 and a y-bit value of 0, to an x-bit value of 399 and a y-bit value of 599 along the y-direction of the display device 108 . The window configuration (g) defines a slice from an x-bit value of 399 and a y-bit value of 299 to an x-bit value of 799 and a y-bit value of 299 along the x-direction of the display device 108 . In addition, in the window configurations (a) to (k), it can also be set to perform cutting in the x direction first, or to perform cutting in the y direction first. For example, the window configuration (g) is set to cut in the y direction first, and then cut in the x direction.

As shown in Fig. 4A and Fig. 4B, when the processing unit 102 selects the window configuration (g) from the window configuration table 120, the processing unit 102 starts from the x bit value 399 and the y bit value 0, along the display device 108 The y direction cuts the display area to an x bit value of 399 and a y bit value of 599. In this way, the display area of the display device 108 is firstly divided into a first region R1 and a second region R2, as shown in FIG. 4A.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, according to the selected window configuration (g), the processing unit 102 cuts the second region R2 to x along the x direction of the display device 108 from the x bit value 399 and the y bit value 299. bit value 799 and y bit value 299. In this way, the second region R2 is divided into sub-regions S1 and S2, as shown in FIG. 4C. Finally, the processing unit 102 divides the display area of the display device 108 as shown in FIG. 4C , which is the same as the window configuration (g).

Then, the processing unit 102 adjusts and displays the main window with the most foreground in the first region R1 of the display area. According to the selected window configuration, the processing unit 102 displays and adjusts the activated window of at least one second program in the second region R2.

Therefore, in FIG. 4C and Table 1, the processing unit 102 selects the window configuration (g) corresponding to the game mode to cut the display area of the display device 108 . Therefore, the window P1 of the game program W1 will be adjusted and displayed on the first region R1 of the display area, and the window P3 of the video recording program X1 corresponding to the game program W1 and the window P4 of the video communication program X2 will be adjusted and displayed on the second region R1 respectively. Subregion S1 and subregion S2 of region R2.

In some embodiments, after the main window with the most foreground (for example: window P1 of the game program W1) is displayed in the first region R1, the processing unit 102 will automatically adjust the size of the main window with the most foreground, so as to In line with the user's operating habits. Please refer to Figure 4B and Figure 4C. In FIG. 4C, the x-direction length of the first region R1 is 400dpi (x-bit range: 0-399), and the y-direction length of the first region R1 is 600dpi (y-bit range: 0-599). Therefore, in some embodiments, the x-direction length of the main window displayed on the first region R1 is adjusted to 400dpi, and the y-direction length of the main window is adjusted to 600dpi. That is to say, the main window displayed on the first region R1 has the same length in the x direction and the length in the y direction as the first region R1, but the present invention is not limited thereto. After finishing adjusting the x-direction length and the y-direction length of the main window, the processing unit 102 moves the main window to the first region R1 and fills the first region R1 with the main window.

For example, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4C, when the window P1 of the game program W1 is used as the main window, the processing unit 102 first moves the window P1 to the first region R1, and the processing unit 102 also adjusts the x direction of the window P1 The length is the same as the x-direction length of the first region R1 (for example: 800dpi), and the processing unit 102 also adjusts the y-direction length of the window P1 to be the same as the y-direction length of the first region R1 (for example: 600dpi). Next, the processing unit 102 also adjusts the window P1 to just fill the first region R1.

Similarly, the processing unit 102 will adjust the size and position of the windows of the second program (for example: the window P3 of the video recording program X1 and the window P4 of the video communication program X2) in the same way as the main window, so as to be displayed on the Sub-region S1 and sub-region S2. Therefore, the present invention does not further describe the method for adjusting the window of the second program. For example: the processing unit 102 adjusts the window P3 of the video recording program X1 to just fill the sub-area S1 , and the processing unit 102 adjusts the window P4 of the video communication program X2 to just fill the sub-area S2 .

In some embodiments, the window configurations (a)-(e) and window configurations (g)-(j) in the window configuration table 120 are all set to have the area of the first area greater than or equal to the area of the display area of the display device 108 half. The area of the first area of the window configuration (a) is equal to the area of the display area of the display device 108 , and the second area is not set in the window configuration (a). In addition, the window configuration (f) is to divide the display area of the display device 108 into a first area, a second area and a third area, wherein the area of the first area is approximately equal to one-third of the area of the display area of the display device 108 one. The window configuration (k) is to divide the display area of the display device 108 into a first area, a second area, a third area and a fourth area, wherein the area of the first area is approximately equal to the area of the display area of the display device 108. a quarter.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a display method 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please also refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 to illustrate various embodiments below. The display method 500 is mainly operated by the processing unit 102 , and the operation starts from step 501 .

In step 501, the storage unit 104 stores a database (as shown in Table 1), wherein the database includes: a plurality of first identifications respectively corresponding to a plurality of first programs, a plurality of identifications respectively corresponding to a plurality of second programs The second identification, multiple working modes and a window configuration table 120 with multiple window configurations (a)-(k). Each of the multiple working modes corresponds to each of the multiple window configurations (a)-(k), and each of the multiple working modes corresponds to each of the multiple first programs, and each of the multiple first programs respectively There is at least one second program corresponding thereto, and each of the plurality of window configurations (a)-(k) corresponds to the corresponding first program and at least one second program respectively. The above corresponding relationship is shown in Table 1, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, the storage unit 104 can execute the storage database under the control of the processing unit 102 . Those skilled in the art can program the processing unit 102 to complete the establishment of the database and transfer it to the storage unit 104 .

In step 503, the processing unit 102 finds the most promising main window in the display area of the display device 108 from among the one or more first programs that have been started (for example: game program W1, text editing program W2). , as the main program. For example: in FIG. 2 , when both the game program W1 and the text editing program W2 are activated, the window P1 of the game program W1 and the window P2 of the text editing program W2 will be displayed on the display area of the display device 108 . The processing unit 102 finds that the window P1 of the game program W1 is the most promising main window, and uses the game program W1 as the main program. How the processing unit 102 determines the one with the most promising main window has been described in detail above, so it will not be repeated here.

In step 505 , the processing unit 102 selects the working mode corresponding to the main program from the working modes stored in the storage unit 104 as the main working mode according to the first identifications of the first programs. As shown in Table 1, when the game program W1 is used as the main program, the processing unit 102 selects the working mode corresponding to the game program W1 as the game mode, and uses the game mode as the main working mode.

In step 507, a window configuration corresponding to the main working mode is selected. Please refer to Table 1, when the processing unit 102 uses the game mode as the main working mode, the processing unit 102 selects the window configuration (g) corresponding to the game mode from Table 1.

In step 509, the processing unit 102 divides the display area into at least a first region R1 and a second region R2 according to the selected window configuration. Wherein the area of the first region R1 is greater than or equal to a quarter of the area of the display area. That is to say, when the window configuration (g) is selected by the processing unit 102, the processing unit 102 divides the display area into a first region R1 and a second region R2 according to the window configuration (g), as shown in FIG. 4A. In FIG. 4A, the area of the first region R1 is approximately equal to half of the area of the display area.

In step 511 , the processing unit 102 adjusts and displays the most promising main window in the first region R1 of the display area. That is to say, in step 503, if the processing unit 102 determines that the window P1 of the game program W1 is the most promising main window, in step 511, the processing unit 102 adjusts the window P1 of the game program W1 and displays it on the The first region R1. The method of how to adjust and display the one with the most promising main window has been described in detail above, so it will not be repeated here.

In step 513, the processing unit 102 then determines whether a second program corresponding to the first program is activated. For example, in Figure 2 and Table 1, the second program corresponding to the game program W1 is a video recording program X1 and a video communication program X2. If the processing unit 102 determines that the video recording program X1 and/or the video communication program X2 are not activated, the processing unit 102 enters step 515 and directly selects the window configuration (a) of the window configuration table 120 . According to the window configuration (a), the processing unit 102 adjusts the area of the first region R1 to be the same as the area of the display area, and the processing unit 102 directly sets the area of the second region R2 to zero. Therefore, the display area of the display device 108 only displays the most promising main window (window P1 of the game program W1).

In some other embodiments, if the processing unit 102 determines that the video recording program X1 and/or the video communication program X2 has not been activated, the processing unit 102 enters step 515, and directly cancels the window configuration table 120, and directly executes the full-screen mode on the display device 108 display area. At this time, all the activated programs can be selectively displayed on the display area of the display device 108 .

In step 513 , if the processing unit 102 determines that the video recording program X1 and the video communication program X2 are activated, the processing unit 102 continues to maintain the selected window configuration (g) and proceeds to step 517 .
