Abstract
A computer-implemented method for processing objects on touch screen devices is proposed. According to the method, one or more grid sizes is determined, wherein the one or more grid sizes comprise one or more text grid sizes. The one or more text grid sizes are determined by at least one of character, word, sentence, and section. Based on the one or more grid sizes, the one or more objects on the touch screen could be divided into one or more grids. The objects on the screen could be selected discontinuously by selecting grids on the screen.

A computer system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a computer-readable memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor perform actions of:
- determining one or more grid sizes, wherein the one or more grid sizes comprise one or more text grid sizes, wherein the one or more text grid sizes are determined by at least one of character, word, sentence, and section;
- and
- dividing one or more objects on a screen into one or more grids based on at least the one or more grid sizes.
A computer program product, comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- determine one or more grid sizes, wherein the one or more grid sizes comprise one or more text grid sizes, wherein the one or more text grid sizes are determined by at least one of character, word, sentence, and section;
- and
- divide one or more objects on a screen into one or more grids based on at least the one or more grid sizes.
