In certain embodiments, when not having (816) common descriptor, equipment is determined more than first descriptor and more than second shared (818) any common descriptor of descriptor: equipment generates the Folder Name of (820) this document folder automatically based on the descriptor in more than first descriptor; And show that on display (822) have the icon of the file of this Folder Name that generates automatically.In other words, only determine the Folder Name of file based on the descriptor of one of two projects of adding file at first to.In certain embodiments, described descriptor is selected descriptor with first project of adding file to (for example, if selected more than a project before creating file).In certain embodiments, described descriptor is the descriptor that has added first project of file to.For example, in Fig. 5 O, the Camera application that is associated with Camera application icon 5002-12 is associated with the descriptor such as " Photography (photography) " and " Camera Management (camera management) ", and the Stocks that is associated with Stocks application icon 5002-9 uses the descriptor that has such as " Utilities (utility routine) " and " Financial Management (Financial Management) ".In this example, these two application icons are associated with the application of not sharing any descriptor.Therefore, in this example, be named as " PHOTOGRAPHY " file 5004-10 by Camera application icon 5002-12 being dragged to the file that contiguous Stocks application icon 5002-9 creates, and be named as " UTILITIES " file 5004-11 by Stocks application icon 5002-9 being dragged to the file that contiguous Camera application icon 5002-12 creates.In other words, in certain embodiments, when using two establishment of item files not sharing any common descriptor, the title of the file that obtains depends on the selecteed order of project (for example, the icon that is associated with application).

When equipment determines that (824) first many descriptors and more than second descriptor are shared at least the first common descriptor.For example, in Fig. 5 O, the Solitaire application that is associated with Solitaire application icon 5002-4 is associated with the descriptor such as " Game ", " Card Game ", " Solitaire Game ", and the Racing that is associated with Racing application icon 5002-13 uses the descriptor that has such as " Game ", " Action Game ", " Racing Game ".In this example, (for example, " Game ") application is associated two application icons, and therefore selects this descriptor as common descriptor with only sharing single descriptor.In certain embodiments, the set of more than first descriptor and more than second the shared one or more descriptors of descriptor; Descriptor in the shared set of one or more descriptors has different specifics (specificity) rank; And the most concrete descriptor in the shared set of these one or more descriptors of choice of equipment (826) is as first common descriptor.For example, in Fig. 5 O, the Car Race application that is associated with Car Race (racing car) application icon 5002-17 is associated with the descriptor such as " Game ", " Action Game ", " Racing Game ", and the Air Race that is associated with Air Race (aerial derby) application icon 5002-18 uses the descriptor that has such as " Game ", " Action Game ", " Racing Game ".In this example, (for example, " Game ") application is associated two application icons, and therefore selects the most concrete descriptor (for example, " Racing Game ") as common descriptor with sharing a plurality of descriptors.

Distribute to a plurality of labels of first project before in certain embodiments, more than first descriptor comprises; Before comprising, more than second descriptor distribute to a plurality of labels of second project; And first common descriptor is that (828) are included in the label in more than first label and more than second label.In certain embodiments, give each allocation of items label, and only be applied to the project of local storage by the user of equipment.In certain embodiments, label is assigned with at the remote server place, and sends to equipment by remote server.

In certain embodiments, more than first descriptor comprises the first category hierarchical structure; More than second descriptor comprises the second classification hierarchical structure; And first common descriptor is that (830) are included in the classification (for example, " Game "＞" CardGame "＞" Solitaire Game " or " Game "＞" Action Game "＞" Racing Game ") in the first category hierarchical structure and the second classification hierarchical structure.In certain embodiments, the first category hierarchical structure be (832) application data base (for example, the database of the application in the application shop) the classification set that has distributed first project in, and the second classification hierarchical structure is the classification set that has distributed second project in the application data base.In certain embodiments, application data base is the database that (834) use the application in the shop.For example, in certain embodiments, descriptor is at least in part based on the item name of the application of the proprietary application shop that is used for mobile device (the App Store that for example, is used for Apple iPhone).In certain embodiments, with indication about the additional label of the additional information of project (for example, the date of establishment of item person's title, establishment of item etc.) replenishing as these item names.

When more than first descriptor and more than second descriptor were shared at least the first common descriptor, equipment generated the Folder Name of (836) file automatically based on first common descriptor.After spanned file folder title, equipment shows that on display (838) have the icon of file of the Folder Name of automatic generation.Example above continuing shown in Fig. 5 O and 5S, is named as " GAMES " file 5004-7 by Solitaire application icon 5002-4 being dragged to the file that contiguous Racing application icon 5002-13 creates.

In certain embodiments, the parallel icon of (840) file and the Folders view of file of showing of equipment, Folders view illustrates the content of file.For example, make equipment create file (for example, the file 5004-7 among Fig. 5 S) input (for example, thecontact 5040 among Fig. 5 M and mobile 5042), the Folders view 5092 among Fig. 5 Y of the automatic display file folder of equipment in response to detecting.In other words, equipment changes the user interface shown in Fig. 5 S into (wherein from the user interface shown in Fig. 5 M (wherein detect file and create input) automatically, created file, and display file clip icon 5004-7) and the user interface shown in Fig. 5 Y (wherein, show the Folders view 5092 that this document presss from both sides), and need be from user's any further intervention.

In certain embodiments, in response to receiving this input, the notice of file has been created in equipment demonstration (842), and wherein this notice comprises the indication that is used for rename folder.For example, in Fig. 5 P, after creating file, the equipment display Name is confirmeddialogue 5064, and it is provided for confirming the option that establishment, rename folder and the cancellation file of file are created to the user, and is as described above in greater detail.In certain embodiments, in response to receiving this input, equipment shows that (844) are used for the text entry field of rename folder.For example, in Fig. 5 P, if Equipment Inspection to the corresponding input of the request of rename folder (for example, on the rename button knock gesture 5070), thedialogue 5072 of the title of equipment display change new folder (for example, from " games " to " fun " shown in Fig. 5 Q).As another example, in response to the corresponding input of the request that detects and activate the folder rename button (for example, knocking gesture 5098 among Fig. 5 Y), shown in Fig. 5 DD, equipment shows thefolder rename zone 5108 that comprises text entry field.

In certain embodiments, the other input of Equipment Inspection (846), and in response to detecting other input, equipment adds (848) the 3rd projects to file.In some of these embodiment, equipment is determined more than the 3rd descriptor that (850) are associated with the 3rd project.In some of these embodiment, choice of equipment (852) first many descriptors, more than second descriptor and more than the 3rd second descriptor that descriptor is shared.In some of these embodiment, equipment generates the new folder title of (854) file automatically based on second descriptor.In other words, in these embodiments, when the content changing of file, the name changing of file.For example, if Solitaire application icon 5002-4 is added to the file that is associated with RACING GAMES folder icon 5004-8, equipment (for example becomes the title of RACING GAMES folder icon 5004-8 into newname, from " RACING GAMES " to " GAMES "), wherein this newname is at least in part based on by the shared descriptor of all three projects in the file (for example, Solitaire application icon 5002-4, Car Race application icon 5002-17 and Air Race application icon 5002-18).On the contrary, in certain embodiments, when file was created, Folder Name was fixed, and therefore added new projects to file and did not change Folder Name.

Note, the details of other processing of reference method 600,700,900,1000,1100,1200 (for example, Fig. 6 A-6E, 7A-7C, 9A-9B, 10A-10B, 11A-11C, 12A-12E and 5A-5PPP) description herein also is applicable to above-describedmethod 800 in a similar manner.For example, the project of describing with reference to figure 8A-8C (for example,action icon 5002 and folder icon 5004) can have various one or more characteristics of selecting (for example,action icon 5002 and folder icon 5004) in user interface object/icon/project of any one description in the reference method 600,700,900,1000,1100 or 1200 herein.For the sake of brevity, no longer repeat these details herein.

Fig. 9 A-9B shows according to some embodiment, and in response to management of icons input, adjustment can be selected the process flow diagram ofmethod 900 of the active region of user interface object.Locate manner ofexecution 900 at the multifunctional equipment (for example, the portablemultifunctional equipment 100 of the equipment 300 of Fig. 3 or Fig. 1) that has display and touch sensitive surfaces.In certain embodiments, described display is a touch-screen display, and touches sensitive surfaces on this display.In certain embodiments, display with touch sensitive surfaces and be separated.Some operation in themethod 900 can be combined and/or the order of some operation can change.

As described below,method 900 provides control chart target direct-vision method.Cognitive load when this method has reduced the user management icon, thus man-machine interface more efficiently created.For with battery operated computing equipment, make the user can manage icon quickly, and more effectively save electric energy, and increased the time between the battery charge.

Equipment shows (902) a plurality of icons (for example, can select user interface object, such as application icon on the touch-screen 112 5002 and/or folder icon 5004) on display.Primary importance place on display (for example, touch-screen 112) shows first icon (for example, action icon or folder icon) in a plurality of icons.Second icons (for example, action icon or folder icon) different with first icon in a plurality of icons have the active region that (906) are in the default size at the second place place on the display (for example, touch-screen 112), and the second place is different from primary importance.For example, in Fig. 5 KK, first icon (for example, Stocks application icon 5002-9) is displayed on the right side of second row that can select user interface object.In this example, the second icon 5004-7 has the active region (for example, the 5122-13-a among Fig. 5 KK) of acquiescence at first.In certain embodiments, the active region (for example, active region 5122 in Fig. 5 KK) of each icon (for example, action icon 5002 and folder icon 5004) with default size.In certain embodiments, active region 5122 is active regions (for example, this active region is not displayed on the display) of hiding.

Equipment Inspection (908) and the corresponding input of request of moving first icon.For example, shown in Fig. 5 KK, Equipment Inspection touch on the sensitive surfaces with first icon (for example, Stocks application icon 5002-9 among Fig. 5 KK) contact of the finger of corresponding position 5120, and the contact of this finger moves 5121 (for example, the three position 5120-c of the second place 5120-b in from the primary importance 5120-a in Fig. 5 KK to Fig. 5 LL in Fig. 5 MM on touch-screen 112) on the sensitive surfaces touching.After detecting this input, equipment changes the size of the active region of (910) second icons based on the distance of the position from primary importance to second icon from default size.For example, in Fig. 5 KK, equipment becomes the acquiescence active region 5122-13-a of size from Fig. 5 KK of the active region 5122-13 of second icon active region 5122-13-b of the amplification among Fig. 5 LL-5MM.In certain embodiments, (for example touching sensitive surfaces in response to detecting, touch-screen 112) go up and display (for example, touch-screen 112) contact of the corresponding position, position of last first icon, the size of change active region (for example, the contact 5120 of device responds in detecting Fig. 5 KK simply becomes active region 5122-13-a into active region 5122-13-b).In certain embodiments, in response to detecting contact from (for example touching sensitive surfaces, touch-screen 112) go up and display (for example, what touch-screen 112) corresponding position, the position of last first icon was left moves, the size of change active region (for example, equipment only detecting after certain moves 5121 at least of contact 5120, becomes active region 5122-13-a into active region 5122-13-b).

In certain embodiments, the size of the active region of second icon is also at least in part based on the type of second icon and change (912).In certain embodiments, when second icon was folder icon, active region had (914) first sizes (for example, because first operation is to add first icon to by second icon representation file).In some of these embodiment, when second icon is the action diagram timestamp, active region less than second size of first size (for example has, because first operation is to create the file that comprises first icon and second icon, in other words, active region is adjusted to that to make the easiest be mobile icon, and next is easy to is to add icon to the file that is pre-existing in, and the most difficult is to activate icons from two to create new folders).

In certain embodiments, for the one or more respective icon except first icon in a plurality of icons, equipment is based on the distance of the relevant position from the primary importance to the respective icon, change from corresponding default size (916) respective icon corresponding active region size (for example, in response to detecting in the contact of touching on the sensitive surfaces corresponding to the position of first icon, or in response to detecting this contact from touching on the sensitive surfaces corresponding to moving that the position of first icon is left).For example, in Fig. 5 LL, the size of the active region of Photos application icon 5002-1 is based on from primary importance (for example, the position of contact 5120-a in Fig. 5 KK) distance of the relevant position of Photos application icon 5002-1 in Fig. 5 LL increases to bigger big or small 5122-1-b from default size 5122-1-a.Similarly, it should be noted that, in certain embodiments, (for example a plurality of other icons have been adjusted, the user interface object selected 5002-1 in Fig. 5 KK-5LL respectively, 5002-2,5002-6,5002-7,5004-1-b, 5002-10,5004-7,5002-14,5002-15,5002-16, acquiescence active region 5004-2) (for example, 5122-5-a among Fig. 5 KK, 5122-6-a, 5122-9-a, 5122-10-a, 5122-14-a, 5122-15-a, 5122-16-a, 5122-17-a), shown in Fig. 5 LL, (for example, in Fig. 5 LL, be respectively adjusted active region 5122-5-b, 5122-6-b, 5122-9-b, 5122-10-b, 5122-14-b, 5122-15-b, 5122-16-b, 5122-17-b).

In response to detecting this input, equipment is gone up at display (for example, touch-screen 112) first icon is removed (918) from primary importance.For example, in Fig. 5 LL, equipment shows that Stocks application icon 5002-9 moves away primary importance (for example, the position of the Stocks application icon 5002-9 among Fig. 5 KK).In certain embodiments, when in first icon to small part is in the active region of second icon, surpassing a predetermined amount of time, when this input stops, equipment show (920) will carry out an action indication (for example, indication will be created the animation of new folder, or the animation of first icon is added the file to the representative of second icon in indication).For example, when second icon was folder icon, equipment can highlight this document clip icon, will be added to file to indicate first icon.As another example, when second icon is the action diagram timestamp, equipment can highlight this action icon, establishment is comprised the file of first icon and second icon with indication.

Predetermined triggering criterion (for example, detecting lifting of finger contact) is satisfied in this input of Equipment Inspection (922).In certain embodiments, detect input and satisfy the termination that predetermined triggering criterion comprises detection (924) first inputs.For example, when Equipment Inspection to contact 5120-c when touching the lifting of sensitive surfaces (for example, touch-screen 112), detect the termination of first input.

Satisfy predetermined triggering criterion in response to detecting this input, carry out (926) operation 928-946.In certain embodiments, equipment determines whether first icon is in the active region of second icon at least in part.When first icon is in the active region of (928) second icons at least in part, operation 932-938 discussed in detail below equipment is carried out.On the contrary, when first icon is not when being in the active region of (930) second icons at least in part, operation 940-946 discussed in detail below equipment is carried out.

Determine (932) first icons when equipment and be in the active region (for example, the 5122-13-b among Fig. 5 MM) of second icon at least in part when interior that what equipment carried out that (934) be associated with second icon first operates.In certain embodiments, first operation comprises that establishment (936) comprises the file (for example, as top reference method 600 in greater detail) of first icon and second icon.For example, in Fig. 5 MM, the termination of Equipment Inspection input (for example, contact 5120-c lifts), and in response to the termination that detects input, equipment adds Stocks application icon 5002-9 the file of GAMES folder icon 5004-7 representative to, shown in Fig. 5 NN.In certain embodiments, first operation comprises first icon interpolation (938) to the file by second icon representation.For example, if equipment detects the termination of input in Stocks application icon 5002-9 is in another action diagram target active region at least in part the time, equipment is created and to be comprised Stocks application icon 5002-9 and described another action diagram target file, as top with reference to figure 5M-5N in greater detail.

When equipment determined that (940) first icons are outside the active region of second icon, equipment was carried out (942) second operation different with first operation.In certain embodiments, second operation is included on the display (for example, touch-screen 112) and rearranges (944) a plurality of icons, thus the position of contiguous second icon of first icon on display.For example, in Fig. 5 OO, the Equipment Inspection input (for example, what contact 5124 contacted with this moves 5126), and (for example detect at second icon, GAMES folder icon 5004-7 among Fig. 5 OO) the 5124-b place, position outside the active region 5128-11 has satisfied predetermined triggering criterion (for example, contact 5124 has paused and surpassed the preset time section).Continue this example, satisfied predetermined criterion in response to determining, equipment rearranges icon (for example, thereby all icons on the third line of this layout are moved to the left an interval).In certain embodiments, second operation comprises and makes first icon return (946) primary importance to the display.For example, when Stocks application icon 5002-9 is in outside the active region 5122-13-b of GAMES folder icon 5004-7, if Equipment Inspection is to the termination of the contact 5120-c of Fig. 5 MM, then equipment makes Stocks application icon 5002-9 return its position (for example, the position of Stocks application icon 5002-9 among Fig. 5 LL) in the past.

Should be appreciated that in certain embodiments an advantage adjusting the size of the active region on the display (for example, touch-screen 112) based on the distance of icon is that it is for providing bigger target (target) with the icon that just is being moved at a distance of farther icon.Usually, when touch gestures occurred in long distance when last, this gesture will comprise than the touch gestures part that takes place on than short distance and move faster.In addition, usually, comprise that the very fast touch gestures that moves is accurate not as comprising the touch gestures that moves more slowly.Therefore, by increasing and the starting point of touch gestures size at a distance of the active region of farther icon, equipment can compensate in order to arrive with starting point must (for example touch sensitive surfaces at a distance of farther icon, touch-screen 112) passes the precision of reduction of the touch gestures of longer distance on, thereby improved man-machine interface.

Note, the details of other processing of reference method 600,700,800,1000,1100,1200 (for example, Fig. 6 A-6E, 7A-7C, 8A-8C, 10A-10B, 11A-11C, 12A-12E and 5A-5PPP) description herein also is applicable to above-describedmethod 900 in a similar manner.For example, the icon of describing with reference to figure 9A-9B (for example,action icon 5002 and folder icon 5004) can have various one or more characteristics of selecting (for example,action icon 5002 and folder icon 5004) in user interface object/icon/project of any one description in the reference method 600,700,800,1000,1100 or 1200 herein.For the sake of brevity, no longer repeat these details herein.

Figure 10 A-10B shows according to some embodiment, reshuffles the process flow diagram of themethod 1000 of icon on display in response to the management of icons input.Locate manner ofexecution 1000 at the multifunctional equipment (for example, the portablemultifunctional equipment 100 of the equipment 300 of Fig. 3 or Fig. 1) that has display and touch sensitive surfaces.In certain embodiments, described display is a touch-screen display, and touches sensitive surfaces on this display.In certain embodiments, display with touch sensitive surfaces and be separated.Some operation in themethod 1000 can be combined and/or the order of some operation can change.

As described below,method 1000 provides control chart target direct-vision method.Cognitive load when this method has reduced the user management icon, thus man-machine interface more efficiently created.For with battery operated computing equipment, make the user create new folder faster and more efficiently and saved electric energy, and increased the time between the battery charge.

Equipment is gone up with first at display (for example, touch-screen 112) and is arranged demonstration (1002) a plurality of icons (for example,action icon 5002 among Fig. 5 KK andfolder icon 5004).Equipment Inspection (1004) and the corresponding input of request that first icon in a plurality of icons is moved to the second place on the display from the primary importance on the display (for example, touch-screen 112).For example, Equipment Inspection (is for example being touched sensitive surfaces, touch-screen 112) go up and display (for example, touch-screen 112) theupward contact 5120 of the corresponding position, position of Stocks application icon 5002-9, and thesubsequent movement 5121 that should contact (for example, the three position 5120-c of the second place 5120-b of primary importance 5120-a on touch-screen 112 from Fig. 5 KK in Fig. 5 LL in Fig. 5 MM), it is corresponding near the request of the position the GAMES folder icon 5004-7 that upward Stocks application icon 5002-9 is moved to from its initial position among Fig. 5 KK at display (for example, touch-screen 112) among Fig. 5 KK.

In response to detecting this input, carry out (1006) operation 1008-1034.Equipment moves (1008) first icons from primary importance to the second place.For example, shown in Fig. 5 KK-5MM, equipment is gone up at display (for example, touch-screen 112) and is moved Stocks application icon 5002-9 towards GAMES folder icon 5004-7.In certain embodiments, in response to detecting this input, equipment shows the afterimage of (1010) first icons at the primary importance place.In these embodiments, the afterimage of first icon is visually different with first icon.In certain embodiments, the afterimage of first icon is transparent (translucent), translucent (semi-transparent) the change ash of first icon, approaching, reduces (ghost) contrast or phantom image.In certain embodiments, in response to detecting this input, equipment shows (1012) white space (for example, shown in Fig. 5 LL-5MM, wherein showing white space at the right-hand member place of the second row icon) at the primary importance place.

As described below,method 1100 provides control chart target direct-vision method.Cognitive load when this method has reduced the user management icon, thus man-machine interface more efficiently created.For with battery operated computing equipment, make the user create new folder faster and more efficiently and saved electric energy, and increased the time between the battery charge.

Equipment shows (1102) living document clip icon (for example, the GAMES folder icon 5004-7 among Fig. 5 SS).This living document clip icon (for example, 5004-7 among Fig. 5 SS) comprise with file that this living document clip icon is associated in the vision indication (for example, " O ", " R ", " S " and " M " among the GAMES folder icon 5004-7 among Fig. 5 SS) of current content.In certain embodiments, the action diagram target number in the living document clip icon indication file that (1104) are included in this living document clip icon is associated.For example, GAMES folder icon 5004-7 among Fig. 5 SS comprises 4 the scaled down expressions (frame that for example, comprises " O ", " R ", " S " and " M " among the GAMES folder icon 5004-7) that can select user interface object that are in the file that is associated with this document clip icon.

In certain embodiments, described content has (1106) certain spatial placement in this document folder, and living document clip icon (for example, the 5004-7 among Fig. 5 TT) provides the vision indication about the spatial placement of the content in this document folder.In certain embodiments, described content (for example comprises a plurality of action icons, 5002-4 among Fig. 5 TT, 5002-13,5002-9,5002-8), described spatial placement be action diagram target predetermined cell (for example, action diagram target 1 * 4 grid as shown in the Folders view 5138 of Fig. 5 TT), and a plurality of corresponding actions icon have the adjacent neighbours of (1108) one or more levels respectively and move icon.In certain embodiments, the living document clip icon (for example, 5004-7 among Fig. 5 TT) the scaled down expression that comprises a plurality of at least one subclass of action diagram target (for example, the frame that comprises " O ", " R ", " S " and " M " among the GAMES folder icon 5004-7), and this scaled down expression is arranged (1110) for making, for a plurality of scaled down expressions, a scaled down expression level of neighbours' action diagram target of the scaled down expression of each corresponding actions icon and this corresponding actions icon is adjacent.In certain embodiments, file comprises a plurality of action icons with first ratio; And it is interior with the scaled down expression of one or more action diagram targets in second ratio demonstration (1112) described a plurality of action icons that demonstration living document clip icon is included in this living document clip icon, and second ratio is less than first ratio.

For example, in Fig. 5 TT, show input (for example, knocking gesture 5136 among Fig. 5 SS) in response to file, equipment shows the Folders view 5138 of the file that is associated with GAMES folder icon 5004-7.Shown in Fig. 5 TT, this document folder view comprises that 4 can be selected user interface object, comprise Solitaire application icon 5002-4, Racing application icon 5002-13, Stocks application icon 5002-9 and Maps application icon 5002-8, they have in delegation spatial placement from left to right.In this example, by with the scaled down expression based on the order displaying contents of action diagram target order in the Folders view, GAMES folder icon 5004-7 provides the vision indication of these action diagram target spatial placement.Especially, Racing application icon 5002-13 is between Solitaire application icon 5002-4 (on the left side) and the Stocks application icon 5002-9 (on the right), and the scaled down expression of Racing application icon 5002-13 (for example, " R " among the GAMES folder icon 5004-7 among Fig. 5 TT) the scaled down expression that is in the Solitaire application icon (for example, " O " among the GAMES folder icon 5004-7 among Fig. 5 TT) and between the scaled down expression of Stocks application icon (for example, " S " among the GAMES folder icon 5004-7 among Fig. 5 TT).

The corresponding input of requests for content during Equipment Inspection (1114) is pressed from both sides with revised file.For example, in Fig. 5 TT, Equipment Inspection (is for example being touched sensitive surfaces, touch-screen 112) go up and display (for example, the contact 5140 of the corresponding position, position of the Stocks application icon 5002-9 touch-screen 112), and this touches and touches sensitive surfaces (for example, touch-screen 112) and go up the subsequent movement 5142 that goes up the interior corresponding position, position of Folders view 5138 with display (for example, touch-screen 112).In certain embodiments, file is the file of creating automatically; And the corresponding input of requests for content in detection and the revised file folder comprises the input that detection (1116) is associated with respective application, thereby the corresponding actions icon that is associated with respective application (for example is added to, is moved out of or move into this document folder, this document folder is the application file folder that adds recently, and this input is that new application has been added to equipment, perhaps this document folder is the application file folder of the most frequent use, and this input is the use to certain application, and it makes this application become the application of frequent use).For example, when the user started an application, the application icon that is associated with this application was added to " application of Shi Yonging recently " file.

In response to detecting this input, carry out (1118) operation 1120-1136.Content in apparatus modifications (1120) file; And upgrade living document clip icon (for example, the 5004-7 among Fig. 5 UU), so that comprise the vision indication of the spatial placement of amended content in the file.Should be appreciated that modification to the content in the file can comprise content in the reorientation file, deletion content and/or add content to file from file.

In certain embodiments, the corresponding reorientation input of the action of first in Equipment Inspection and reorientation file icon; And in response to detecting the reorientation input: equipment is imported the first interior action icon of reorientation (1122) file according to reorientation; And according to the first action diagram target reorientation in the file, the scaled down expression of action diagram target in the reorientation living document clip icon.For example, in Fig. 5 TT, Equipment Inspection is imported to reorientation, it is included in and (for example touches sensitive surfaces, touch-screen 112) go up and display (for example, touch-screen 112) on the contact 5140 of corresponding position, position of Stocks application icon 5002-9, and this touches and (for example touches sensitive surfaces, the subsequent movement 5142 of the corresponding position, position in the Folders view 5138 touch-screen 112) and on the display (for example, touch-screen 112).In this example, in response to detecting the reorientation input, shown in Fig. 5 UU, equipment moves to reposition in the Folders view 5138 (for example, thereby Solitaire application icon 5002-4 is displayed between Stocks application icon 5002-9 and the Racing application icon 5002-13) with Stocks application icon 5002-9.In addition, in this example, shown in Fig. 5 UU, equipment rearranges the scaled down expression among the GAMES folder icon 5004-7, thereby these scaled down expressions provide the vision indication about the spatial placement after the renewal of the content in this document folder.Especially, the scaled down expression of Solitaire application icon (for example, " O " in the GAMES folder icon 5004-7 among Fig. 5 UU) the scaled down expression that is in the Stocks application icon (for example, " S " in the GAMES folder icon 5004-7 among Fig. 5 UU) and between the scaled down expression of Racing application icon (for example, interior " R " of the GAMES folder icon 5004-7 among Fig. 5 UU).

In certain embodiments, Equipment Inspection with from file, remove the corresponding icon of the first action diagram target request and remove input, and remove input in response to detecting icon: equipment removes (1124) first action icons from file; And from dynamic folder icon, remove the scaled down expression of the first action diagram target.For example, in Fig. 5 EE, the Equipment Inspection icon removes input, and it is included in contacting of the position of Solitaire application icon 5002-4 and 5112 contacts with this and to shift out Folders view 5106 and enter thesubsequent movement 5114 of first 5108 that removes the background in zone as object.Remove input in response to this icon, equipment removes Solitaire application icon 5002-4 from Folders view 5106.In addition, in this example, though equipment in the past once with folder icon 5004-7 that Folders view 5106 is associated in show the Solitaire application icon scaled down expression (for example, " O " in the PLAY folder icon 5004-7 among Fig. 5 EE), but the scaled down expression that equipment stops to show the Solitaire application icon (for example, in Fig. 5 FF, no longer in PLAY folder icon 5004-7, show " O ").

In certain embodiments, Equipment Inspection is added input with the corresponding icon of request that the first action icon is added to file; And add input in response to detecting icon: equipment adds (1126) to file with the first action icon; And add the scaled down expression of the first action diagram target to the living document clip icon.For example, in Fig. 5 OO-5PP, the Equipment Inspection icon adds input, it is included in and (for example touches sensitive surfaces, touch-screen 112) go up and display (for example, touch-screen 112) the contact 5124-a of the corresponding position, position of last Maps application icon 5002-8, and this touches and (for example touches sensitive surfaces, touch-screen 112) go up and display (for example, touch-screen 112) subsequent movement (for example, 5126 and 5130) of the corresponding position, position of the active region 5128-11 of last GAMES folder icon 5004-7.Add input in response to this icon, shown in Fig. 5 TT, equipment adds Maps application icon 5002-8 to the file that is associated with GAMES folder icon 5004-7.In addition, in this example, though equipment did not show in the past the Maps application icon in folder icon 5004-7 any scaled down expression (for example, shown in Fig. 5 OO-5PP), but after adding Maps application icon 5002-8 to GAMES folder icon 5004-7 (or with adding Maps application icon 5002-8 to GAMES folder icon 5004-7), equipment shows the scaled down expression (for example, " M " in Fig. 5 QQ) of Maps application icon in GAMES folder icon 5004-7.

In certain embodiments, the content of file comprises the action icon, and when existing from the notice of the corresponding application of this action icon the time, living document clip icon change (1128).In certain embodiments, change the living document clip icon by (1130) status indicator by on the living document clip icon, showing.For example in Fig. 5 B, folder icon 5004-1-b display notification mark 5012, the application that an interior application icon of its indication and the file of folder icon 5004-1-b representative is associated has notice.In certain embodiments, change the living document clip icon by (1132) status indicator by showing on the scaled down version of action diagram target in the living document clip icon.For example, in Fig. 5 B, the scaled down expression of folder icon 5004-1-b in folder icon 5004-1-b (for example, " x7 ") last display notification mark 5014, the application that its indication is associated with this scaled down expression (for example has notice, use if the application that is associated with " x7 " is eMail (Email), then this notice indicates new e-mail to arrive usually).

In certain embodiments, when equipment is in the user interface reconfiguration mode, the outward appearance of living document clip icon change (1134).In certain embodiments, document clamper is useful on demonstration (for example can select user interface object, can select user interface object, such as application icon and/or file icon) the finite space (for example, 9 rooms, 12 rooms, 16 rooms or any other rational number), and in the user interface reconfiguration mode, whether outward appearance indication (1136) file of living document clip icon has living space and shows any other user interface object selected (space that for example, is used for the extra scaled down expression of action diagram target by demonstration).

For example, in Fig. 5 A, when equipment was in normal manipulation mode, the content in the living document clip icon 5004-1-a demonstration expression file (for example, action icon 5002) scaled down expression (for example, " x1 ", " x2 ", " x3 ", " x4 ", " x5 " and " x6 ").Yet, in this example, exist in the file, and therefore equipment only shows preceding 6 scaled down expressions of action diagram target in the living document clip icon more than 6 action icons 5002.Continue this example, when equipment enters the user interface reconfiguration mode (for example, in response to detecting pushing and keep gesture 5008 among Fig. 5 A), equipment (for example changes the living document clip icon, the living document clip icon 5004-1-b of living document clip icon 5004-1-b from Fig. 5 A in Fig. 5 B), scaled down expression moves up in dynamic icon, with expose in the folder icon 5004-1-b the scaled down expression of another one (for example, " x7 " in the folder icon 5004-1-b), stop preceding 3 the scaled down expressions of action diagram target (for example, " x1 " in the display file clip icon 5004-1-b simultaneously, " x2 " and " x3 ").In this example, the living document clip icon also shows two empty positions on this new scaled down expression next door.In being provided, the file that is associated with folder icon 5004-1-b exists the indication more than 6 projects, by showing two empty positions on new scaled down expression next door, changing the living document clip icon also provides the demonstration of having living space in the Folders view other action diagram target vision indication.
