ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING DISPLAY OF INFORMATION

摘要

A method of controlling display of information includes arranging tiles in a plurality of columns, each tile having a width of about a column width or about one half the column width, receiving a selection of a first tile and receiving a selection of a second tile. In response to determining that a first tile width is generally equal to a second tile width, exchanging locations of the first tile with the second tile. In response to determining that the first tile width is not equal to the second tile width, the smaller of the tiles is grouped with an adjacent tile from the same column. The locations of the grouped tiles and the remaining one of the selected tiles are exchanged.

1. A method of controlling display of information in tiles on an electronic device, the method comprising:
arranging the tiles in a plurality of columns, each of the tiles having a width of about a column width or about one half the column width; receiving a selection of a first tile at a first location and receiving a selection of a second tile at a second location; in response to determining that a first tile width is generally equal to a second tile width, exchanging the first tile with the second tile such that the first tile is moved generally to the second location and the second tile is moved generally to the first location; in response to determining that the first tile width is not equal to the second tile width and the first tile width is equal to about one half the column width:
grouping the first tile with a first adjacent tile from a first adjacent location in a same one of the plurality of columns as the first tile; andexchanging the grouped first tile and first adjacent tile with the second tile by moving the first tile and the first adjacent tile generally to the second location and the second tile generally to the first location and the first adjacent location; in response to determining that the first tile width is not equal to the second tile width and the second tile width is equal to about one half the column width:
grouping the second tile with a second adjacent tile from a second adjacent location in a same one of the plurality of columns as the second tile; andexchanging the first tile with the grouped second tile and the second adjacent tile by moving the first tile generally to the second location and the second adjacent location and moving the second tile and second adjacent tile generally to the first location.
