Electronic device and method for arranging icons displayed by the electronic device

摘要

An electronic device and a method arrange icons on a screen of the electronic device. In the method, when a user selects an icon displayed on a screen, the device determines whether there is a sub-icon associated with the selected icon. If there is a sub-icon, the device arranges and displays the sub-icon in a radial arrangement on the screen around the selected icon, so the user can visually perceive the relation between the selected icon and its sub-icon, and easily select and use a desired function or data associated with the sub-icon.
