Touch-sensitive device and touch-based folder control method thereof

摘要

A touch-sensitive device has a touch-based input interface and includes a touch-based folder control for creating, moving or arranging folders in response to an input of a touch-based user interaction. The touch-sensitive device receives an input from a touch-based user interaction on a home screen of the touch sensitive device and creates a new folder in response to at least one object selected by the user interaction. The touch based folder control visually disposes the new folder at a specific place on the home screen.
