Problems solved by technology

Usually, the desktop is divided into multiple grids of the same size, but in the windows system and ios system, the icons on the desktop occupy a fixed grid, which will cause some icons to be too large or display too much information. The grid is not enough, and the impact icons cannot be fully displayed
In the android system, although users can be allowed to add variable-sized icons on the desktop, the length and width of the variable size can only be multiples of the length and width of ordinary icons (that is, multiples of a grid). It will lead to a waste of space and resources occupied by icons
[0004] Moreover, in systems such as windows, ios, android, users can only be allowed to add icons in "open spaces", but in fact, users cannot accurately determine the "open spaces" on the desktop, which makes it difficult and very difficult to add icons on the desktop. Difficult to achieve
