METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING MEMORY AND PROCESSING RESOURCES FOR THE CONTROL OF A DISPLAY SCREEN TO FIX DISPLAYED POSITIONS OF SELECTED ITEMS ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method controlling hardware components of a computing device of fixing a displayed position of selected items on a display screen of a hand-held computing device, comprising:
- displaying at least a portion of a list having at least one non-fixed item on said display screen;
selecting a subset of items from said list to be positionally fixed;
storing a displayed position of each item in said subset;
associating each item in said subset with a pinned icon, said pinned icon distinguishing said positionally fixed items from other items in said list; and
displaying each positionally fixed item and its associated pinned icon at its stored display position, wherein each pinned icon is positioned proximate to said item to which it is associated.

14. A system for positionally grouping items on a display screen of a hand-held computing device, comprising:
-
a display configured to display items in a list; an application configured to perform the following actions, including; selecting a subset of items from said list to be positionally fixed; storing a displayed position of each item in said subset; associating each item in said subset with a pinned icon, said pinned icon distinguishing said subset items from other items in said list; displaying each subset item and its associated pinned icon at its stored display position, wherein each subset item is positionally fixed, wherein each pinned icon is displayed proximate to said subset item to which it is associated; and repositioning said positionally fixed items into a contiguous group in said list. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
