Abstract:
1. A mobile device implemented method comprising: displaying, by the device, displaceable graphic elements over a non-displaceable background image in a non-active layer of a graphic user interface, displayed by the device, the non-displaceable background image including covered regions displaying the displaceable graphic elements in an active layer of the graphic user interface; at least one of scrolling or dragging, by the device, one or more of the displaceable graphic elements to partially uncover one or more of the covered regions; determining the one or more partially uncovered regions based on a minimum size of one or more shapes that bound the one or more of the displaceable graphic elements; and issuing, by the device, one or more graphic commands to copy the one or more shapes from the background image to the active layer of the graphic user interface to visually render the one or more partially uncovered regions, without updating of an entirety of the non-displaceable background image, to display corresponding regions of the non-displaceable background image while other regions of the non-displaceable background image remain constant.
