The method according to the present disclosure will be described, and as shown in Figure 2, the method includes the following steps.

In step 201, a second selected mesh pattern is acquired after a request to switch a mesh pattern from an interface is received.

The mesh segmentation of a terminal interface can be modified through a mesh configuration set in a system or by changing a font size in the terminal. The meshes of the terminal interface can be accommodated in advance. Figure 3a shows a .4 * 4 mesh configuration, the terminal interface can also be divided into 4 * 4 rectangles. In the figure

3b 3 * 3 mesh configuration shown, terminal interface can equally be divided into 3 * 3 rectangles. Here, the solid line indicates screen edges and the dotted line indicates meshes. In the 3 * 3 mesh setting, the font size displayed in the terminal interface is larger and the icon in the interface is larger.

In step 202, the first mesh configuration is canceled and the second mesh configuration serves as the current mesh configuration of the terminal interface.

In step 203, a length ratio of a length of the gadget to the length of a mesh is acquired, and the number of latitudinal meshes occupied by the gadget is acquired according to the length ratio.

In step 204, a width ratio is acquired from one width of the contraption to one mesh width and the number of longitudinal meshes occupied by the contraption is acquired according to the width ratio.

For example, assume that the length of the contraption is A and the width of the contraption is B and the length of the mesh is a and the width of the mesh is b, the length ratio is A / a, and the width ratio is B / b.

In step 205, a gadget location is adjusted on a terminal interface according to the number of meshes occupied by the gadget. If the gadget is located on the terminal interface, the location of the gadget on the terminal interface is adjusted according to the number of meshes occupied by the gadget.

INDUSTRIAL deployed of the contraption is adjusted according to the number of meshes occupied by the contraption. Figure 4a shows the deployed mesh attribute of respective gadgets when the mesh setting is 4 * 4. Figure 4b shows the deployed mesh attribute of respective gadgets when the mesh setting is 3 * 3. Therefore, if the mesh configuration is changed, the number of meshes occupied by the respective gadgets changes accordingly.

Hereinafter, adjusting the location of the gadget on the terminal interface, according to the number of meshes occupied by the gadget, will be described in detail in various situations.

A first situation: if the number of meshes occupied by a gadget is an integer, the gadget is arranged according to the meshes.

Taking an example of converting a mesh configuration of a terminal interface from a 4 * 4 mesh configuration to a 2 * 2 mesh configuration, assume that a length of each mesh is a in the 4 * 4 mesh configuration and a width of each mesh is b, a length of each mesh in the 4 * 4 mesh configuration is 2a and a width of it is

2b. An album artifact length is 2a and album art width is 2b, the number of meshes occupied by the artifact is 2 * 2 in a 4 * 4 mesh configuration, such as

IMPI

<img file="MX338799B_D0015.tif" />

shown in figure 5a. When the terminal interface mesh setting is converted from the 4 * 4 mesh setting to the 2 * 2 mesh setting, the number of latitudinal meshes occupied by the album gadget is 5 2a / 2a = l, and the number of longitudinal meshes occupied by the album gadget is 2b '/ 2b = l. Therefore, as shown in Figure 5b, the contraption is mesh-mounted.

A second situation: If the number of meshes occupied by the gadget is not an integer, the gadget is centrally accommodated in its externally connected meshes.

Taking an example of converting a mesh configuration of a terminal interface from a 4 * 4 mesh configuration to a 3 * 3 mesh configuration, assume that a length of each mesh is a in the 4 * 4 mesh configuration and a width of each mesh is b, a length of each mesh is c in the 4 * 4 mesh configuration, and a width of each mesh is d, where c = 4a / 3 and d = 4b / 3. An album artifact length is 2a and album artifact width is 2b, the number of meshes occupied by the artifact is 2 * 2 in the 4 * 4 mesh configuration as shown in Figure 5a. When the terminal interface mesh configuration is converted from 4 * 4 mesh configuration to 3 * 3 mesh configuration, the number of latitudinal meshes occupied by

OF THE PROPERTY

INDUSTRIAL album artifact is 2a / c = 1.5, and the number of longitudinal meshes occupied by album artifact is 2b / d = 1.5. Because the album gadget size is not an integer multiple of the unit mesh, as shown in Figure 5c, the gadget is centrally accommodated in its externally connected meshes in order to have a pleasing effect. Here, externally connected meshes refer to meshes made up of the mesh lines closest to the contraption.

A third situation: if the number of meshes occupied by the contraption is not an integer, the contraption is arranged according to the meshes after the length or width of the contraption is stretched to be an integer.

Based on the second situation above, i.e. the number of latitudinal meshes occupied by the contraption is 2a / c = 1.15 and the number of longitudinal meshes occupied by the contraption is 2b / d = 1.5, the length of the contraption is stretched 2a to 2c, and the width of the contraption stretches from 2b to 2d. As a result, the gadget number occupied by the album gadget is 2 * 2. The contraption is then arranged according to meshes and the fix effect is shown in figure 5d.

A fourth situation: if the number of meshes occupied by the contraption is not an integer, the contraption remains

INDUSTRIAL

arranged according to meshes after the length or width of the contraption is contracted to be an integer.

Based on the second situation above, that is, the number of latitudinal meshes occupied by the contraption is 2a / c = 1.5 and the number of longitudinal meshes occupied by the contraption is 2b / d = 1.5, the length of the contraption is contracts from 2a to ac, and the width of the contraption contracts from 2b to, d. as a result, the gadget number occupied by the album gadget is 1 * 1. The contraption is then arranged according to meshes and the effect of the arrangement is shown in figure 5e.

It can be seen, from the content described above, that in the method for adjusting a contraption according to the modality of the present disclosure, the size of the contraption can be automatically converted into the number of meshes in the current mesh configuration so that the size of a gadget is not modified and is adapted to the size of the current unit mesh, and therefore the effect of the deployment as well as the user experience can be improved.
