Description
The present invention is generally speaking relevant with computer system.Specifically, computer system involved in the present invention has one and shows a plurality of graphic user interfaces (GUI) that are used for consulting the form (Window) of different document, it can provide the interlock between former incoherent two or more forms, links as scroll bar (scroll bar).
The basic structure of conventional computer system 10 as shown in Figure 1.The core of computer system 10 is CPU (central processing unit) (CPU) or processor 12, it is connected with some peripherals, comprising: as I/O (I/O) device 14 (as the display monitor and the keyboards) of user interface, the permanent storage device 16 of storage computer operating system and user program (as hard disk or floppy disk), and processor 12 is used for the temporary memory storage 18 (as random access memory ram) of execution of program instructions.Processor 12 comprises bus 20 or direct channel 22 (utilizing bus bridge that multiple bus can be provided) by various facilities, communicates by letter with these peripherals.
Fig. 2 again.Conventional computer system provides information with a graphic user interface (GUI) to the user usually.GUI is by the software that is contained on the computing machine, and the operating system with the application program cooperating that specifically is contained in computing machine provides.Two well-known GUI are OS/2 (trade mark of IBM Corporation) and Windows95 (trade mark of Microsoft).In this example of Fig. 2, display device (being video monitor) 28 shows a main application window (" father's window ") 26, and it comprises several by its cingens secondary window (" sub-window ") 30,32 and 34.These " brother " windows 30,32 and 34 show the content of different file or documents respectively.Can also provide menucommand 36 and a toolbar 38 of one group of standard, as the part of GUI configuration, simplifying the object (text, chart and figure) in the antithetical phrase window, operation and control.These forms can overlap into many levels mutually.
A given file may be too big, can not all show in the forms of a sub-window (or father's window), but therefore can utilize the scroll bar to move (i.e. pan) file in this sub-window border restricted portion.For example, as shown in the figure, horizontal scroll bar 40 cooperates with file window 30 with vertical scroll bar 42, figure window 32 has only horizontal scroll bar 44, and chart window 34 is without any the scroll bar, that is to say that shown diagram file small scale is to can complete illustrating in the scope of view 34 and without any need for scroll.The scroll bar can former on demand small documents becomes big (as the user when writing letter) generation automatically when form can hold any more.
The scroll button as at shown in 46,48 and 50 those, is commonly used to indicate the relative position of file shown part in this specific file window scope.For example, if its upper left corner of file shows in a form, that just has a scroll button and is in its left half of horizontal scroll bar and the topmost portion (as the situation of the form among Fig. 2 30) that scroll button is in its vertical scroll bar.The scroll bar is operated by utilize the visual detector that shows on video monitor, and it is controlled such as " Genius mouse " such hardware pointing device by one.In this example of Fig. 2, visual detector 46 is arrow forms.The reciprocation of user and scroll bar usually can be by one of following three kinds of methods: arrow (triangle) icon at scroll bar two ends (be horizontal scroll bar left, arrow to the right, perhaps vertical scroll bar upwards, arrow downwards) one of go up and click click in the zone between the arrow icon and scroll button; Perhaps a scroll button (being also referred to as " lifter ") is dragged to one of corresponding the arrow icon.
It is only influential to the visual field of the form that contains this scroll bar to move a scroll bar button.Yet, can wish two forms of scroll simultaneously sometimes.For example, two independently form may contain the similar explanation of an architecture standard.The user may wish these two windows of scroll simultaneously, so that examine two normalized illustrations closely which difference is arranged.In existing technology, there is not the method that realizes this while scroll.On the contrary, the user must be in a form scroll a bit, then the Genius mouse indicator is moved on to another form, attempt the identical amount of scroll therein, return first form, or the like, this bothers very much, and is particularly skilled inadequately or use relatively trouble especially the people of difficulty of figure pointing device for those.
Also have some other GUI operation may also need to be applied to simultaneously on a plurality of forms.Two window-operatings commonly used are maximizations and minimize.Usually, form can be in a kind of form in " maximum ", " minimum " and " recovery " these three kinds of forms.Father's window is in maximization when occupying viewing area available for this uses (normally the whole panel of video monitor 28 is used for operating system mutual and only keep very little zone) fully.Sub-window is in maximization during available viewing area in occupying its father's window fully.When a form was minimized, it is " disappearanceed " just, or reduces into a very little icon or title bar, therefore no longer receives the user and imports.Under the situation of minimized father's window, in fact this application does not stop, but at running background.Similar, under the situation of a minimized sub-window, in fact file does not close, and has shelved simply.Form its size be minimizing and the maximization form between the time just be in the recovery form.In Fig. 2, father's window 26 is in the maximization form, and sub-window 30,32 and 34 all is in the recovery form.Three forms in back can maximize with corresponding maximize button 54,56 and 58 respectively, or minimize with the corresponding button 60,62 and 64 that minimizes.Also disposed similar button for father's window 26.
As scroll bar situation, it may be useful making more incoherent forms minimize or maximize simultaneously.For example, the user can be opened two groups of files, one group comprises severally as at the associated documents as shown in sub-window 30,32 and 34, and second group comprise some similar files, but with first group uncorrelated.If the user sees first group of file earlier, hope minimizes these three forms and recovers another group file then, must minimize one by one or maximize these files so.The user that operates in of trouble goes back at every turn and consults one group of different files and will repeat like this, because prior art does not provide any method of carrying out the interlock form of such certain operations simultaneously.
Owing to there are above-mentioned these problems, therefore wish to have the method for two or more forms of a kind of interconnected GUI, make these forms can be mutual.If this method can keep the reciprocation of existing performance and user and form, that is just better and this function expansion does not increase the words of apparent complicacy.If the present invention can realize on the level of operating system fully, and do not need to increase any added burden in realization the application programming personnel and do not need to transform to have software product now, that is with regard to advantageous particularly.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of improved graphic user interface (GUI) for computer system.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of improved GUI, make a plurality of files or application can be used as a plurality of forms and show, and these forms can be by being operated such as keyboard commands or with the such user's input of graphic button that pointing device is selected to the user.
Another purpose of the present invention provides the interlock (or claiming relevant mutual) between some forms in this GUI.
Above-mentioned these purposes are that the method with the two or more forms among a kind of related GUl realizes, this method comprises some steps so generally: one first feature of first form of selecting to want related; Select one second feature of second form that will be related; And first feature and second feature is interconnected, make that activating first feature can cause activating second feature.This association is preferably two-way, that is to say, related step also comprises second feature and first feature association, makes that activating second feature can cause activating first feature.This technology can be used for father's window, also can be used for sub-window.Therefore related function can comprise that scroll is every, toolbar icon or form Presentation Function.This ability can realize with computer operating system easily.
Need to select the most handy pointing device of controlling the graphical indicators of GUI of related feature to realize.In exemplary embodiments, this pointing device (Genius mouse) has first and second buttons, first (left side) button be used for graphical indicators be stacked in the corresponding visual sign of first feature on the time activate first feature, and second (right side) button is used for selecting the function of wanting related when graphical indicators overlays on the visual sign.In this embodiment, respond the activation of second button, will show a popup menu, this popup menu is shown one " Associate " (" association ") option and some other option.
Can be clear that above-mentioned these and other some purposes of the present invention, function and advantage by following detailed description.
For the function that realizes that these are novel, the feature that the present invention possessed as described in the appended claims.Yet the present invention itself and preferred use pattern of the present invention, other purposes and advantage are by being understood fully the detailed description of exemplary embodiment below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.In these accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is the block scheme of the computer system of routine;
Fig. 2 show show one with the file in the scroll bar pan form with the button maximization, minimize and close the graphoscope of the conventional graphic user interface of form;
Fig. 3 shows and shows a graphoscope that is used to provide the graphic user interface of two scroll interlocks between the sub-window designed according to this invention; And
Fig. 4 shows and shows a graphoscope that is used to provide the graphic user interface of the size interlock between father's window designed according to this invention.
The present invention be directed to a kind of method that is used to provide the interlock between two or more forms of the graphic user interface that shows on the display device of computer system.The hardware of computer system can comprise each building block shown in Fig. 1, but needs not to be traditional, that is to say, it also can comprise the hardware components that some are new and/or have a kind of architecture of new interconnection of existing parts.Therefore, though the present invention describes in conjunction with Fig. 1, this is not construed as limiting the invention.
Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of graphic user interface (GUI) designed according to this invention.This GUI that shows on the video monitor 70 of routine can be by a video adapter control that is connected with the processor of computer system.This GUI comprises two file window 72a and 72b in the embodiment shown, and they are included in the bigger application window 74.The part that vertical scroll bar 76 and horizontal scroll bar 78 are file window 72a.These two scroll bars respectively have a scroll button 80 and 82 and a pair of the arrow icon 84,86 and 88,90 that is in scroll bar two ends respectively.The erect image prior art has disposed a visual indicator 92 (being an arrow in this example) like that, is used for handling scroll bar and its supplementary features.
Except all functions of the scroll bar of prior art, the additional function that will further specify below scroll bar 76 and 78 also provides.That is to say, as prior art, the user can be by clicking the arrow icon 84,86,88 or 90, by clicking the zone between the arrow icon and scroll button 80 or 82, perhaps, come any file (no matter being the file of text, figure or other types) in the scroll form by the scroll button is dragged to the arrow icon.As prior art, these Genius mouse orders are (pointing device commonly used have at least two buttons, is commonly referred to left button and right button) of utilizing Genius mouse to carry out at button.
Except the scroll function of this prior art, GUI of the present invention also provides a kind of simple but effective method that the interlock of scroll bar is provided, scroll form 72a can be linked with scroll form 72b, that is to say that the scroll function that activates in first form can cause activating the interior scroll function of second form.A kind of mode that realizes this interlock is to produce a Pop-up (" description " or " assisting ") menu 98 when pushing the Genius mouse right button after the user is stacked in indicator 92 on a scroll bar or the scroll bar button.An option on the menu 98 can be " Associate (association) ".If the user goes up at " Associate " and clicks, the Genius mouse indicator just becomes (choosing wantonly) task special indicator icon (as small-sized two-fold window).Then, the user moves on to the second form 72b with Genius mouse, goes up at the scroll bar (or button) of need association and clicks.So two scroll bars of this of two different forms just have been associated together.After this, during any one scroll bar in these two scroll bars of user's scroll, two windows are scroll together, and promptly scroll form 72a will cause form 72b scroll together, and scroll form 72b will cause form 72a scroll together.Also can be interconnected at together in this way more than two forms.
If the user wished to remove this association afterwards, on menu, there is one and is called second option of " Unassociate (disassociation) ", can be used for forbidding that this is interconnected.This " Unassociate " option also can be described as a follow-up option of " Associate " option.
A kind of expansion of the present invention is to use the family to possess related scroll bar, makes their functions to take action with the opposite mode of action that defaults.For example, if two vertical scroll bars by with the opposite way association, then in a form on roll and will cause second form to roll respective distance with under the corresponding speed.The user can specify opposite way by another option " Reverse " in the choice menus (this option also can be a follow-up option of " Associate " option).As an example, when two forms of needs showed visual field of the relative both sides of target separately, it can be favourable utilizing " Reverse " option.In order to coordinate moving in two forms, scroll carries out respectively in the opposite direction.
In addition, the user can be related with the horizontal scroll bar in another form with the vertical scroll bar in the form, both can be also can be with reverse mode with general mode.
The present invention can realize on operating system grade fully, does not therefore need to increase any added burden in realization the application programming personnel, does not also need to transform existing software product.Association can be session specific (promptly only current describe effectively on-the-spot) or with irrelevant (promptly even after one or more association window are closed, reopen again be still effective) of time.Though shown in Fig. 3 is to make situation about linking between the fraternal window, be appreciated that scroll bar interlock also can occur between father's (application) window, perhaps between second application window of the sub-window of one first application window and a s.m.p window, take place.
Those skilled in the art that will recognize that this key concept can expand to other common window-operating or features, such as form being minimized or maximized icon.For example, as shown in Figure 4, the user can select " Associate " from pop-up menu 104 right click the on the icon 100 that minimize of the first application window 102a, and clicks second the minimizing on the icon of application window 102b again.After this, when the first form 102a was minimized, the second form 102b will also be minimized automatically.Also can carry out similar association for Max Toggle or with closing (withdrawing from) button 108 for closing form with maximize button 106.The possible form Presentation Function that can link comprises mobile, restores and resets the form size.Though shown in Fig. 4 is to make situation about linking between father's window, be appreciated that equally form control (resetting window dimension etc.) interlock also can occur between the fraternal window, perhaps between second application window of the sub-window of one first application window and a s.m.p window.This form interlock also can be adopted reverse mode, and for example, the button of clicking on the form that minimizes minimizes this form, but also makes a form maximization that originally was minimized.
Though as noted above such, the present invention can realize on operating system grade, also can realize in an application, and the association between the sub-window feature that is not subjected to operating system management is provided.For example, an application can provide control DVD a plurality of forms of memory storage, to show a plurality of video images (or showing other content of multimedia).Each video window can be furnished with the such control of similar VCR (playback, time-out, rewind down etc.).Therefore the present invention can be used for providing selectable interlock for these controls between the different forms, for example, click broadcast button in any form and can make all forms play separately video image respectively, can make all forms all suspend separately broadcast and click pause button in any form.
Compare with the window-operating technology of prior art, the present invention has some advantages.At first it has kept existing performance and user and scroll bar, toolbar icon, form control knob or the interactive mode of other visual signs.Secondly, the expansion on these features does not increase the apparent complicacy.The 3rd, it can be rapidly and easily be associated in the guidance function of two (or more a plurality of) forms together the user.In addition, all right association of the present invention is keyboard commands (and graphic button) accordingly, thereby the interlock between the form is provided, or the interlock between the toolbar icon is provided.
Though the present invention describes in conjunction with specific embodiments, this explanation and not meaning that is construed as limiting the invention.For those skilled in the art that, obviously be easy to the embodiment that is disclosed is made various modifications and designs realization other embodiments of the present invention with reference to explanation of the present invention.Therefore, can think, this class of having done of with good grounds spirit of the present invention revise the scope of patent protection of the present invention that all should belong to the claims regulation.
