The AIO computer includes a first monitor and a second monitor. The display control method includes: receiving a control instruction from the first monitor; projecting a display content on the second monitor according to the control instruction; and selectively enabling a touch control function of the second monitor according to the control instruction. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A display control method, applicable to an all-in-one computer, the all-in-one computer comprising a first monitor and a second monitor, wherein the second monitor comprises a touch control function, the display control method comprising: a step of receiving a control instruction from the first monitor; a step of projecting a display content on the second monitor according to the control instruction; and a step of selectively enabling the touch control function of the second monitor according to the control instruction, wherein the first monitor is a touch monitor, and the control instruction is entered through a touch to the first monitor, wherein the control instruction comprises a dynamic effect parameter, and the step of projecting the display content on the second monitor according to the control instruction comprises using the dynamic effect parameter to set a dynamic effect for the display content and projecting the display content on the second monitor, wherein the dynamic effect includes at least one of translation, rotation, zooming, color changing, and text loop scrolling, wherein before the step of receiving the control instruction from the first monitor, the method further comprises: receiving a display editing instruction from the first monitor, wherein the display editing instruction is used for editing an image according to an aspect ratio of the second monitor as the display content and presenting the image on the first monitor in real time, and wherein the display editing instruction is used for enabling an editing interface for the user to edit the corresponding dynamic effect parameter. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display control method according to claim 1, wherein the step of selectively enabling the touch control function of the second monitor according to the control instruction comprises: enabling the touch control function of the second monitor when the display content is an interactive interface. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The display control method according to claim 2, wherein the interactive interface comprises at least one of a numeric keypad and a handwriting interface. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The display control method according to claim 1, wherein the display content is a video, an image, a text string or a barcode. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The display control method according to claim 1, wherein the display content is all or a part of a real-time screen of the first monitor or is an application window. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The display control method according to claim 1, wherein the control instruction comprises a display time parameter, and the step of projecting the display content on the second monitor according to the control instruction comprises controlling, according to the display time parameter, a time when the display content is projected on the second monitor. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The display control method according to claim 1, wherein the all-in-one computer comprises a front surface and a back surface, the back surface comprises an inclined region, an angle is formed between the inclined region and the front surface, the first monitor is arranged on the front surface, and the second monitor is arranged in the inclined region. ### Claim 8 An all-in-one computer, comprising: a first monitor; a second monitor, comprising a touch control function; and a processing unit, electrically connected to the first monitor and the second monitor, and configured to: receive a control instruction from the first monitor; project a display content on the second monitor according to the control instruction; and selectively enable the touch control function of the second monitor according to the control instruction, wherein the first monitor is a touch monitor, and the control instruction is entered through a touch to the first monitor, wherein the control instruction comprises a dynamic effect parameter, and the processing unit projects the display content on the second monitor according to the control instruction by using the dynamic effect parameter to set a dynamic effect for the display content and projecting the display content on the second monitor, wherein the dynamic effect includes at least one of translation, rotation, zooming, color changing, and text loop scrolling, wherein before the processing unit receives the control instruction from the first monitor, the processing unit receives a display editing instruction from the first monitor, wherein the display editing instruction is used for editing an image according to an aspect ratio of the second monitor as the display content and presenting the image on the first monitor in real time, and wherein the display editing instruction is used for enabling an editing interface for the user to edit the corresponding dynamic effect parameter.
