Claim 6:
7. An apparatus comprising:
a display page; and
a processor coupled with the display page and configured to cause the apparatus to collect user sliding operation information comprising a first location located on the display page, a pressing duration before sliding, a sliding direction, and a second location, wherein the first location is an initial location of a user sliding operation, wherein the second location is a location at which the user sliding operation ends, wherein the sliding direction comprises a horizontal direction or a vertical direction, wherein the horizontal direction is parallel to a first edge of a touchscreen, wherein the vertical direction is parallel to a second edge of the touchscreen, and wherein the first edge is perpendicular to the second edge; and
when the first location is located on a first icon, and when the pressing duration is greater than or equal to a first duration threshold and less than or equal to a second duration threshold:
determine, based on the first location and the second location, a sliding distance () of the user sliding operation, wherein  is a projection distance of a straight-line distance between the second location and the first location in the sliding direction;
determine a related column when the sliding direction or a pressing force direction of the first location is the vertical direction and moving column icons when  is greater than a minimum sliding distance (Δ);
determine a related row when the sliding direction or the pressing force direction is the horizontal direction and moving row icons when  is greater than Δ; and

move, in the sliding direction, column icons in a related column of the first icon or row icons in a related row of the first icon.
