Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and a terminal device for providing an application interface. Processing circuitry executes an application program that provides a graphical interface on a display device. The processing circuitry obtains a present location of a graphical symbol in the graphical interface. The graphical symbol is indicative of a placement of a resource for use at a specific area in the graphical interface. Then, the processing circuitry determines whether the present location of the graphical symbol satisfies a preset condition, and determines a target location when the present location satisfies the preset condition. Then, the network interface circuitry sends a request message to a server device. When the terminal device receives an approval message, the terminal device updates the graphical interface with a graphical icon of the resource being positioned at the target location.
