Abstract

A system for adjusting a position of a user interface of applications running in an electronic device is provided. The system includes a first determining module, an acquiring module, a second determining module, a dividing module, and an adjusting module. The first determining module determines the applications running in the electronic device, and the priority of each determined application. The acquiring module acquires the predetermined frame of the user interface of the application. The second determining module determines a first area in a display screen of the electronic device according to the acquired predetermined frame. The dividing module determines a remaining area, and divides the remaining area into a number of sub-areas according to a predetermined division rule. The adjusting module adjusts the positions of the user interfaces of remaining applications to the different sub-areas.

Dependent claims

A system for adjusting a position of a user interface of applications running in an electronic device, each of the applications corresponding to a user interface and being assigned a priority, each user interface comprising a predetermined frame, the system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a plurality of modules to be executed by the one or more processors, wherein the plurality of modules comprises:
a first determining module configured to determine the applications running in the electronic device, and determine the priority of each determined application;
an acquiring module configured to acquire the predetermined frame of the user interface of the running application whose priority is the highest;
a second determining module configured to determine a first area where the user interface of the application having the highest priority is on a display screen of the electronic device according to the acquired predetermined frame;
a dividing module configured to determine a remaining area on the display screen, and divide the remaining area into a plurality of sub-areas according to a predetermined division rule;
an adjusting module configured to adjust the positions of the user interfaces of remaining applications whose priority is lower than the highest priority to the different sub-areas;
and
the adjusting module further configured to adjust a size of the predetermined frame of the user interfaces of the remaining applications to match a size of the corresponding sub-areas.
