1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a storage unit storing a table recording a plurality of click frequencies respectively for a plurality of icons provided by the electronic device; and
a processor, comprisinga recording module configured to record which of the icons is clicked and at least update one of the click frequencies corresponding to the clicked icon in the table, wherein when the one of the icons is clicked, the recording module causes the corresponding click frequency of the clicked icon to increase by one;
wherein the table comprises a first column, a second column, a third column, and a fourth column;
the first column of each storage unit records two icons, a former icon and a later icon, the later icon in each storage unit is clicked after the former icon is clicked;
the second column records the click frequency of each later icon in the first column;
the third column records run time of the application associated with each later icon;
the fourth column records weighted values through a formula;
the formula is γ
=n×
α
+t×
β
, where “
γ
”
is the weighted value, “
n”
is the use frequency, “
t”
is the use time, and “
α
” and
“
β
”
are default;
wherein the processor further comprises an arranging module configured to arrange some of the icons at least according to the weighted values recorded in the table.

Abstract
A method for arranging icons in an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a storage unit storing a table recording icons provided by the electronic device and the number of click frequency of each of the icons. The method includes recording which of the icons is clicked and updating the number of click frequency of the clicked icon in the table, further causing the number of click frequency of the clicked icon to increase one if the icon is clicked. Then, arranging some of the icons according to the number of click frequency recorded in the table if a currently run application is closed.
