Mobile Terminal Icon Sorting via Pinch Gesture Classification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Sorting desktop icons on mobile terminals is complicated and not intuitive, requiring users to manually drag and arrange icons across multiple pages.
Innovation Solution
A method that detects a pinching operation by the user to obtain attribute information about multiple icons and performs classification based on this information, allowing for quick and convenient sorting by grouping similar icons together.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual dragging and arranging of icons is used, then icons can be sorted according to user preference, but the operation process becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically classifies icons based on their attribute information without requiring manual user intervention. When the user performs a pinching operation on multiple icons, the terminal automatically obtains attribute information for each icon and performs classification, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous user guidance.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the operational parameters from manual drag-and-drop physical movements to a pinching gesture that triggers automated processing. By detecting the pinching operation and using attribute information parameters to automatically classify icons, the system transforms a complex multi-step manual process into a simple gesture-based automated process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If icons on different pages need to be sorted, then comprehensive sorting is possible, but additional page turning operations are required making the process more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The pinching operation serves multiple functions: it selects multiple icons, triggers attribute information retrieval, initiates classification processing, and handles cross-page operations all through a single gesture. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate page turning and selection operations.
Solution Approach 2:
Attribute information acts as an intermediary that enables the system to understand and classify icons automatically. By obtaining and processing attribute information, the system can intelligently categorize icons without requiring users to manually specify sorting criteria or perform complex page navigation operations.

AI summary
A method for processing icons and a mobile terminal are provided. The method for processing icons includes: obtaining, in response to detecting a pinching operation by a user on multiple icons, attribute information about each of the multiple icons; and performing a classification operation on the multiple icons based on the attribute information.
