  • Patent number: 9727237
    Abstract: A method of managing a keypad of a handheld electronic device comprises promoting a user whether a size of the keypad needs adjustment when the handheld electronic device is in a single hand operating mode. If the answer is yes, the handheld electronic device then detects a movement of a finger of the user on a touch screen thereof. When a movement of the finger along a diagonal direction of the keypad away from the keypad is detected, the size of the keypad is increased. When a movement of the finger alone the diagonal direction of the keypad toward the keypad is detected, the size of the keypad is decreased. When the movement of the finger is stopped and a “Done” button is pressed, the adjustment of the size of the keypad is completed, and the size of the keypad after adjustment is stored in a storage module.

  • Publication number: 20120260213
    Abstract: In a method for arranging a user interface displayed on a touchscreen of an electronic device, a first touch operation is received from the touchscreen when the electronic device receives a trigger instruction for arranging the user interface. The method confirms an icon on a current page displayed on the touchscreen to be moved according to the first touch operation, and controls the confirmed icon to move towards coordinate values of the first touch operation. If a second touch operation has been received while receiving the first touch operation, the method further confirms an orientation of the second touch operation, and controls the current page of the user interface to move towards the orientation of the second touch operation. If the first touch operation has not been received, the method positions the confirmed icon on the user interface.
