US 9,870,140 B2 · Electronic device and launcher screen position identifying method

Abstract

A launcher screen position identifying method obtains a set of coordinates of a reference point of each launcher screen and a set of coordinates of a reference point of a touch screen. The method calculates a distance difference between each launcher screen and the touch screen according to the set of coordinates of the reference point of each launcher screen and the set of coordinates of the reference point of the touch screen, and the method converts the distance difference between each launcher screen and the touch screen to a scalar value of the corresponding launcher screen. The scalar value is between negative one and positive one. The method further identifies a position relationship between each launcher screen and the touch screen according to the scalar value of the corresponding launcher screen. A related electronic device and a related non-transitory storage medium are provided.
