A method and apparatus to dynamically arrange a virtual key position in a hierarchical structure

摘要

The present invention discloses a method to dynamically arrange positions of a plurality of virtual keys in a hierarchical structure with many layers. These virtual keys can control an application program and include at least one function group key and at least one command key. The method includes the following steps. The first step is to determine whether a first virtual key is a function group key or a command key, wherein the first virtual is located in a first layer in the hierarchical structure. When the first virtual key is a command key, the first virtual key is moved from the first layer to another layer and a number to select the first virtual key is added by one. Next, whether or not the application program processing has ended is determined. When the application program processing has ended, the number of times the first virtual key is clicked is compared to the number of times other virtual keys were selected. A virtual key that is clicked the most is moved to the top layer in the hierarchical structure.
