Electronic device and method for one-handed operation

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable code executable by at least one processor of an electronic device to:

• display a user interface having selectable features on a touch-sensitive display;
• define a boundary on the touch-sensitive display that separates a first defined region of the touch-sensitive display and a second defined region of the touch-sensitive display such that the first and second defined regions do not overlap;
• determine that the electronic device is in a one-handed mode, and in response to the determination that the electronic device is in the one-handed mode:
• determine that at least one of the selectable features of the user interface is displayed in the second defined region of the touch-sensitive display;
• display, in the first defined region of the touch sensitive display, an additional selectable feature associated with the at least one of the selectable features displayed in the second defined region while continuing to display the user interface including the at least one selectable features in the second defined region of the touch-sensitive display, wherein all of the additional selectable features displayed in the first defined region correspond only to selectable features displayed in the second defined region;
• and
• in response to receipt of a selection of the additional selectable feature, perform a function associated with the at least one of the selectable features.

An electronic device comprising:

• a touch-sensitive display;
• a processor coupled to the touch-sensitive display and programmed to:
• display a user interface having selectable features on the touch-sensitive display;
• define a boundary on the touch-sensitive display that separates a first defined region of the touch-sensitive display and a second defined region of the touch-sensitive display such that the first and second defined regions do not overlap;
• determine that the electronic device is in a one-handed mode, and in response to the determination that the electronic device is in the one-handed mode:
• determine that at least one of the selectable features of the user interface is displayed in the second defined region of the touch-sensitive display;
• display, in the first defined region of the touch sensitive display, an additional selectable feature associated with the at least one of the selectable features displayed in the second defined region while continuing to display the user interface including the at least one selectable features in the second defined region of the touch-sensitive display, wherein all of the additional selectable features displayed in the first defined region correspond only to selectable features displayed in the second defined region;
• and
• in response to receipt of a selection of the additional selectable feature, perform a function associated with the at least one of the selectable features.
