Abstract

Provided are method, device and computer storage medium for controlling desktop. The method includes: creating a first interface as a sub-window of a desktop container according to a creating instruction; and embedding the first interface created as the sub-window into the desktop container. The device includes: a sub-window creating module, configured to create a first interface as the sub-window of a desktop container according to a creating instruction; and an interface processing module, configured to embed the first interface created as the sub-window into the desktop container and display full-screen. The present disclosure is adopted to simplify operations among multiple interfaces in the desktop.

Claims

1. A method for controlling desktop, comprising:

creating a first interface as a sub-window of a desktop container according to a creating instruction; and

embedding said first interface created as the sub-window into the desktop container.

2. The method for controlling desktop according to claim 1, wherein, said first interface created as the sub-window contains one or more interfaces;

when said first interface contains one interface, there is a one-to-one relationship between said first interface and sub-window; and

when said first interface contains more interfaces, there is a many-to-many relationship or many-to-one relationship between said first interface and sub-window.

3. The method for controlling desktop according to claim 1, wherein, said creating instruction is a full-screen instruction, and after embedding said first interface created as the sub-window into the desktop container, said method further comprises:

acquiring corresponding interface information by means of triggering said full-screen instruction, and according to said interface information, full-screen displaying said first interface having been embedded, while covering interfaces displayed in the desktop container.

4. The method for controlling desktop according to claim 1, wherein, after acquiring corresponding interface information by means of triggering said full-screen instruction, and according to said interface information, full-screen displaying said first interface having been embedded, while covering interfaces displayed in the desktop container, said method further comprises:

adding a first interface identification to a component being configured to assemble interface identifications corresponding to carried interfaces in the desktop container, so as to tab a page currently displayed in the desktop container.

5. The method for controlling desktop according to claim 1, wherein, after embedding said first interface created as the sub-window into the desktop container, said method further comprises following steps:

acquiring a selecting operation for a second interface in said first interface having been embedded and full-screen displayed in the desktop container;

generating a switching instruction corresponding to the selecting operation for said second interface; and

switching between said first interface and second interface in the desktop container according to said switching instruction.

6. The method for controlling desktop according to claim 5, wherein, said step of generating a switching instruction corresponding to the selecting operation for said second interface further comprises:

acquiring a second interface identification and a first interface identification according to the selecting operation for said second interface, and generating said switching instruction according to said second interface identification and first interface identification.

7. The method for controlling desktop according to claim 6, wherein, said step of switching between said first interface and second interface in the desktop container according to said switching instruction further comprises:

extracting an initial interface identification and a target interface identification to be switched in the desktop container according to said switching instruction;

said initial interface identification is the first interface identification, and said target interface identification is the second interface identification;

acquiring corresponding interface information according to said target interface identification; and

displaying a target interface in the desktop container according to said interface information.

8. A device for controlling desktop, comprising:

a sub-window creating module, configured to create a first interface as a sub-window of a desktop container according to a creating instruction; and

an interface processing module, configured to embed said first interface created as the sub-window into the desktop container.

9. The device for controlling desktop according to claim 8, wherein, said first interface created as the sub-window contains one or more interfaces;

when said first interface contains one interface, there is a one-to-one relationship between said first interface and the sub-window are one-to-one relationships; and

when said first interface contains more interfaces, there is a many-to-many relationship or many-to-one relationship between said first interface and sub-window.

10. The device for controlling desktop according to claim 8, wherein, said creating instruction is a full-screen instruction, and said interface processing module is further configured to acquire corresponding interface information by means of triggering said full-screen instruction, and according to said interface information, display said first interface having been embedded in full-screen, while covering interfaces displayed in the desktop container.

11. The device for controlling desktop according to claim 8, wherein, said interface processing module is further configured to add a first interface identification to a component being configured to assemble interface identifications corresponding to carried interfaces, in the desktop container, so as to tab a page currently displayed in the desktop container.

12. The device for controlling desktop according to claim 8, further comprising:

an operation acquiring module, configured to acquire a selecting operation for a second interface in said first interface having been embedded and displayed full-screen in the desktop container;

an instruction generating module, configured to generate a switching instruction corresponding to the selecting operation for said second interface; and

a switching module, configured to switch between said first interface and second interface in the desktop container according to said switching instructing.

13. The device for controlling desktop according to claim 12, wherein, said instruction generating module is further configured to acquire a second interface identification and a first interface identification according to the selecting operation for said second interface, and generate said switching instruction according to said second interface identification and first interface identification.

14. The device for controlling desktop according to claim 13, wherein, said switching module comprises:

an identification extracting unit, configured to extract an initial interface identification and a target interface identification to be switched in the desktop container according to said switching instruction;

said initial interface identification is the first interface identification and said target interface identification is the second interface identification;

an information acquiring unit, configured to acquire corresponding interface information according to said target identification; and

an interface displaying unit, configured to display a target interface in the desktop container according to said interface information.

15. One or more non-transitory computer readable storage medium, including one or more computer executable instructions, said one or more computer executable instructions are to be executed by one or more processors to implement a method for controlling desktop;

wherein, said method comprises;

creating a first interface as a sub-window of a desktop container according to a creating instruction; and

embedding said first interface created as the sub-window into the desktop container.

16. One or more non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 15, wherein, said method further comprises:

acquiring a selecting operation for a second interface in said first interface having been embedded and full-screen displayed in the desktop container;

generating a switching instruction corresponding to the selecting operation for said second interface; and

switching between said first interface and second interface in the desktop container according to said switching instruction.
