Abstract

An electronic device can acquire position coordinates of a central point of a movable object on a touch screen display in response to a user touching a manipulation region of the movable object. The electronic device calculates new position coordinates according to the position coordinates of the central point and preset deviation values, and sets the new position coordinates as present position coordinates of a registration point of the movable object. The registration point of the movable object can be seen throughout by the user when the user select or move the movable object.

Claims

1. A method of an electronic device comprising a touch screen display and a processor, the method comprising:

(a) detecting a touch on a manipulation region of a movable object displayed on the touch screen display, according to first position coordinates of a touch point on the touch screen display;

(b) acquiring second position coordinates of a central point of the movable object on the touch screen display;

(c) calculating, using the processor, new position coordinates according to the second position coordinates of the central point and preset deviation values; and

(d) setting the new position coordinates as present position coordinates of a registration point of the movable object.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the registration point of the movable object is located outside of the manipulation region.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein in step (c), the new position coordinates are calculated by adding the preset deviation values to the second position coordinates of the central point.

4. A non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor of an electronic device comprising a touch screen display and the processor, the method comprising:

(a) detecting a touch on a manipulation region of a movable object displayed on the touch screen display, according to first position coordinates of a touch point on the touch screen display;

(b) acquiring second position coordinates of a central point of the movable object on the touch screen display;

(c) calculating, using the processor, new position coordinates according to the second position coordinates of the central point and preset deviation values; and

(d) setting the new position coordinates as present position coordinates of a registration point of the movable object.

5. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 4, wherein the registration point of the movable object is located outside of the manipulation region.

6. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 5, wherein in step (c), the new position coordinates are calculated by adding the preset deviation values to the second position coordinates of the central point.

7. An electronic device, the electronic device comprising:

a touch screen display;

a storage unit;

at least one processor;

one or more programs that are stored in the storage unit and are executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising;

a detection module that detects a touch on a manipulation region of a movable object displayed on the touch screen display, according to first position coordinates of a touch point on the touch screen display;

an acquisition module that acquires second position coordinates of a central point of the movable object on the touch screen display;

a calculation module that calculates new position coordinates according to the second position coordinates of the central point and preset deviation values; and

a setting module that sets the new position coordinates as present position coordinates of a registration point of the movable object.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the registration point of the movable object is located outside of the manipulation region.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8, wherein the new position coordinates are calculated by adding the preset deviation values to the second position coordinates of the central point.
