Abstract
The system comprises a mobile device comprising an application and a display screen, wherein the display screen displays a previously inserted program icon at a display screen location. The application, when executed, identifies the receipt of a virtual pre-load pack by the mobile device, compares the virtual pre-load pack template with a current display screen template, identifies that the proposed display screen location of the virtual pre-load program icon overlaps with the display screen location of a previously inserted program icon, locates and selects an unoccupied display screen location for the insertion of the virtual pre-load program icon and inserts the virtual pre-load program icon in the unoccupied display screen location on the display screen without overlapping the display of the virtual pre-load program icon with the display of the previously inserted program icon and without violating a display screen insertion priority level.
