Abstract

A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display is executed in a system with a split screen layout displaying images in sub windows, comprising steps as follows: continuously select multiple focal windows on the split screen layout with a pointer tool; click an image join icon included in the system to activate an image join process; click an export icon included in the system to integrate images in the focal windows into a main-window for display. The method further comprises a step to set up attributes of images to be displayed in the focal windows. According to the steps, the multiple images on a split screen layout are clicked, chosen and integrated into a single main-window based on configured export conditions for a user'"'"'s check and management.

Claims

1. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display which is executed in a system with a split screen layout, an image join icon, an export icon and multiple sub-windows thereon for display of different images, comprising steps as follows:

Step 1;

Continuously select multiple focal windows on said split screen layout with a pointer tool;

Step 2;

Click said image join icon to activate an image join process; and

Step 3;

Click said export icon to integrate images in said focal windows into a main-window for display.

2. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 1 further comprises Step 4 between Step 1 and Step 3:

Set up attributes of images to be displayed in said focal windows.

3. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 2 wherein said system is an image monitoring system.

4. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 2 wherein said split screen layout is only displayed on a single display screen.

5. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 2 wherein said images are real-time images or saved image files.

6. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 2 wherein said images to be displayed in said focal windows in Step 4 are static images or dynamic images.

7. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 6 wherein said images to be displayed in said focal windows in Step 4 are static images and can be configured to be captured at the same timing.

8. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 7 wherein said system in Step 4 will pop up a time picker window in which a user can enter at least the target time as a condition to capture images and export them from said focal windows.

9. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 6 wherein said images to be displayed in said focal windows in Step 4 are static images and can be configured to be captured at partially or totally different timing.

10. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 9 wherein said system in Step 4 will pop up a time picker window separately in which a user can enter at least the target time as a specific condition to capture an image and export it from one of said focal windows.

11. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 6 wherein said images to be displayed in said focal windows in Step 4 are dynamic images and can be configured to be captured at an identical time interval.

12. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 11 wherein said system in Step 4 will pop up a time picker window in which a user can enter at least start time and end time as conditions to export images from said focal windows.

13. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 6 wherein said focal windows in Step 4 are able to partially display static images and dynamic images.

14. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 6 wherein the file format of said dynamic image is MP4, MOV or AVI.

15. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 6 wherein the file format of said static image is JPG, BMP, TIF or TGA.

16. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 2 wherein said main-window in Step 3 is equipped with a save icon through which said system stores said images displayed in said main-window into a static image file or a dynamic image file.

17. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 2 wherein said pointer tool is a mouse, a touch pen or a finger.

18. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 2 wherein said main-window further comprises at least one icon among a play icon, a pause icon and a stop icon.

19. A method for integrating and displaying multiple different images simultaneously in a single main-window on a screen of a display according to claim 2 wherein said main-window further comprises a timer shaft and an executive cursor which presents timing at said timer shaft for each image displayed in said main-window.
