Method for swapping display contents between multiple screens
First Claim
1. A method for swapping display contents between a first screen and a second screen, wherein the first screen is a primary screen, a window is displayed on one of the first screen and the second screen, the method comprising:
- (a) calculating a window movement distance according to a relative position between the first screen and the second screen;
(b) performing swapping to set the second screen as the primary screen;
(c) obtaining a coordinate of the window after swapping;
(d) obtaining a first coordinate by adding the window movement distance to the coordinate of the window after swapping if the window is located in the first screen before swapping;
(e) obtaining a second coordinate by subtracting the window movement distance from the coordinate of the window after swapping if the window is located in the second screen before swapping; and
(f) moving the window from one of the first screen and the second screen to the other according to the first coordinate or the second coordinate.

Abstract
A method for swapping display contents between a first and a second screen. The first screen is a primary screen. A window is displayed on one of the first and the second screen. The method includes: calculating a window movement distance according to a relative position between the first and the second screen; performing swapping to set the second screen as the primary screen; obtaining a coordinate of the window after swapping; obtaining a first coordinate by adding the window movement distance to the coordinate of the window after swapping if the window is located in the first screen before swapping; obtaining a second coordinate by subtracting the window movement distance from the coordinate of the window after swapping if the window is located in the second screen before swapping; moving the window from one of the first and the second screen to the other.

6. A method for swapping display contents between multiple screens, the method comprising:
-
(a) receiving a swapping instruction; (b) identifying a relative position between the screens and respective resolution of each screen; (c) recording an original display sequence of viewable windows display; (d) moving all viewable windows displayed on each screen; (d1) calculating a window movement distance according to the relative position; (d2) performing swapping; (d3) obtaining a coordinate of the viewable window after swapping; (d4) obtaining a first coordinate by adding the window movement distance to the coordinate of the viewable window after swapping if the viewable window before swapping is located in a primary screen; (d5) obtaining a second coordinate by subtracting the window movement distance from the coordinate of the viewable window after swapping if the viewable window before swapping is not located in the primary screen; and (d6) moving the viewable window according to the first coordinate or the second coordinate; and (e) setting the moved viewable windows according to the recorded original display sequence. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
