Multiple displays for displaying workspaces

摘要

A first workspace, which may include one or more windows, may be associated with a first display device. A second workspace, which may also include one or more windows, may be associated with a second display device. The first and second workspaces may be provided for display to the first and second display devices, respectively. The first and second display devices may be independent such that manipulation a window of the first workspace across a coordinate location of the second display device does not affect the second display device.

1. A system, comprising:
first and second display devices; and a computing device coupled to the first and second display devices, wherein the computing device is configured to implement a workspace association module of an operating system configured to:
associate a first workspace that includes one or more first windows to the first display device as a first association, wherein the first association comprises:
coordinates of the first workspace with respect to coordinates of the first display device in a global coordinate space comprising the first and second display devices; andconfiguration information corresponding to the one or more first windows;associate a second workspace that includes one or more second windows to a second display device as a second association, wherein the second association comprises:
coordinates of the second workspace with respect to coordinates of the second display device in the global coordinate space; andconfiguration information corresponding to the one or more second windows; andprovide the first and second workspaces for display to the first and second display devices based on the first association and the second association, respectively, wherein the first and second display devices are independent such that manipulation of one of the one or more first windows in the first display device across a coordinate location corresponding to the second display device does not result in the one of the one or more first windows being displayed on the second display device.
