Electronic device, method for viewing desktop thereof, and computer-readable medium

An electronic device, comprising:

• a desktop module, for providing a desktop of the electronic device, wherein the desktop is divided into n continuous areas, and n is a positive integer greater than 1;
• a touch screen, for displaying one of the n areas and a navigation bar, wherein the navigation bar comprises an indicator and n indexes, the n indexes are respectively corresponding to the n areas of the desktop, and the indicator points to the index corresponding to the area currently displayed in the touch screen;
• and
• a processing module, coupled to the desktop module and the touch screen, wherein when the touch screen detects a sliding operation applied to the indicator on the navigation bar, the processing module moves the desktop and the indicator according to the sliding operation, and when the sliding operation terminates, the processing module selects the index closest to the indicator from the n indexes as a target index, controls the indicator to point to the target index, and displays a target area corresponding to the target index in the touch screen.

A computer-readable medium, storing a plurality of program instructions for being loaded into an electronic device, wherein the electronic device has a desktop divided into n continuous areas, n is a positive integer greater than 1, one of the n areas is displayed in a touch screen of the electronic device, and the program instructions execute following operations after the program instructions are loaded into the electronic device:

• displaying a navigation bar in the touch screen, wherein the navigation bar comprises an indicator and n indexes, the n indexes are respectively corresponding to the n areas of the desktop, and the indicator points to the index corresponding to the area currently displayed in the touch screen;
• detecting a sliding operation applied to the indicator on the navigation bar;
• moving the desktop and the indicator according to the sliding operation;
• selecting the index closest to the indicator from the n indexes as a target index when the sliding operation terminates;
• and
• controlling the indicator to point to the target index, and displaying a target area corresponding to the target index in the touch screen.
