Icon Moving via Dynamic Navigation Points
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for moving icons between pages on electronic devices are complex and inefficient, requiring users to drag icons to the screen edge and wait for page switching, leading to low operating efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that acquire the icon position on a display interface and determine a navigation point matching the icon position within a predetermined area, allowing the icon to be moved to the corresponding page, with options for scaling navigation points and displaying them in a fisheye effect to enhance usability.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user drags the icon to the screen edge to switch pages, then the icon can be moved to another page, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is divided into multiple predetermined areas, each corresponding to a different page. When the icon is dragged into a specific predetermined area, the system automatically switches to the corresponding page, eliminating the need to drag to screen edges and manually trigger page switching.
Solution Approach 2:
Predetermined areas serve as intermediaries between the icon and the target page. By dragging the icon into these intermediate zones, the system automatically performs the page switching function, simplifying the user operation from complex multi-step dragging to simple zone-based selection.
2Area of stationary object
If multiple navigation points are displayed closely together, then the interface remains compact, but it becomes difficult for users to accurately select the intended navigation point
Solution Approach 1:
The display dynamically adjusts based on the icon's position. When the icon approaches a predetermined area, the corresponding navigation point is highlighted or enlarged, making it easier for users to identify and select the correct target page while maintaining a compact overall interface layout.
Solution Approach 2:
Different navigation points may be displayed with different visual characteristics (such as color, brightness, or size) depending on their proximity to the icon or their selection state, enabling users to quickly distinguish and accurately select the intended navigation point without increasing the overall navigation area.

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for moving an icon and an electronic device, and are related to the field of terminal technologies, where the method includes acquiring an icon position of a selected icon on a display interface, when the icon position is in a predetermined area, determining, according to the icon position, a navigation point matching the icon position, where the predetermined area includes n navigation points, each navigation point is corresponding to one page, and n≥2, and moving the icon to a page that is corresponding to the navigation point matching the icon position. According to the present disclosure, a problem, in the method for moving an icon involved in the background, that an operation is relatively complex and operating efficiency is relatively low when cross-page moving is performed on an icon is solved.
