ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING DISPLAY OF INFORMATION

摘要

A method of controlling display of information arranged in tiles on a display includes arranging the tiles in rows by setting a height of each row to a largest minimum height of the tiles of that row, receiving selections of a first group of tiles in a first row and a second group of tiles in a second row. In response to determining that the first group width is equal to the second group width, the groups are exchanged by moving the first group of tiles to the second row and the second group of tiles to the first row. A new height of the first row and a new height of the second row are set. In response to determining that the first group width differs from the second group width, an adjacent tile is added to the one of the first group and the second group that has a smaller width.

主权项

1. A method of controlling display of information arranged in tiles on an electronic device, each tile having an associated minimum height, the method comprising:
arranging the tiles in a plurality of rows by setting a height of each row equal a largest minimum height associated with the tiles of that row; receiving a selection of a first group of tiles in a first row of the plurality of rows; receiving a selection of a second group of tiles in a second row of the plurality of rows; comparing a first group width with a second group width; in response to determining that the first group width is equal to the second group width, rearranging the tiles by:
exchanging the first group of tiles with the second group of tiles by moving the first group of tiles to the second row and the second group of tiles to the first row; andsetting a new height of the first row to a largest minimum height associated with the tiles in the first row;setting a new height of the second row to a largest minimum height associated with the tiles in the second row; in response to determining that the first group width differs from the second group width:
automatically adding to one of the first group of tiles and the second group of tiles having a smaller width, an adjacent tile from an associated row; andrepeating comparing, and, in response to determining that the width of the first group of tiles is equal to the width of the second group of tiles, rearranging the tiles.
