A computer-implemented method for processing objects on touch screen devices is proposed. According to the method, one or more grid sizes is determined, wherein the one or more grid sizes comprise one or more text grid sizes. The one or more text grid sizes are determined by at least one of character, word, sentence, and section. Based on the one or more grid sizes, the one or more objects on the touch screen could be divided into one or more grids. The objects on the screen could be selected discontinuously by selecting grids on the screen.

Processing objects on touch screen devices

A method includes receiving a first virtual board selection from a first user, wherein a first virtual board allows for one or more users to create one or more virtual posts during a current collaboration event. The method displays the first virtual board and a first set of previously created virtual posts in the first virtual board, wherein the first set of previously created virtual posts is associated with a previous collaboration event. The method displays two or more templates for creating a new virtual post. The method receives content to populate the first template, wherein the populated first template represents a first virtual post of a second set of virtual posts for the current collaboration event. The method displays the first virtual post on the first virtual board based on a first position of an electronic device associated with the first user relative to the first virtual board.
