Abstract:
An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, and one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface displays a graphical object inside of a frame on the display, and detects a gesture. Detecting the gesture includes: detecting a contact on the touch-sensitive surface while a focus selector is over the graphical object, and detecting movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the gesture: in accordance with a determination that the contact meets predefined intensity criteria, the device removes the graphical object from the frame; and in accordance with a determination that the contact does not meet the predefined intensity criteria, the device adjusts an appearance of the graphical object inside of the frame.
Abstract:
An electronic device, with a touch-sensitive surface and a display, includes one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface. The device displays, on the display, a first control for controlling a first operation. The device detects, on the touch-sensitive surface, a first input that corresponds to the first control; and in response to detecting the first input: in accordance with a determination that the first input meets first control-activation criteria but does not include a contact with a maximum intensity above a respective intensity threshold, the device performs the first operation; and in accordance with a determination that the first input includes a contact with an intensity above the respective intensity threshold, the device displays a second control for performing a second operation associated with the first operation.
Abstract:
An electronic device with a touch screen display: simultaneously detects a plurality of finger contacts on the touch screen display; and while the plurality of finger contacts are concurrently maintained on the touch screen display, performs respective operations for each respective finger contact in the plurality of detected finger contacts, the respective operations including: creating a respective touch area for the respective finger contact; determining if the respective touch area overlaps a respective object at portions other than a representative point of the touch area; connecting the respective object with the respective touch area if the respective object is determined to overlap the respective touch area; after connecting the respective object with the respective touch area, detecting movement of the respective finger contact on the touch screen display; and moving the respective object connected with the respective touch area in accordance with the determined movement of the respective touch area.
Abstract:
Electronic devices may use touch pads that have touch sensor arrays, force sensors, and actuators for providing tactile feedback. A touch pad may be mounted in a computer housing. The touch pad may have a rectangular planar touch pad member that has a glass layer covered with ink and contains a capacitive touch sensor array. Force sensors may be mounted under each of the four corners of the rectangular planar touch pad member. The force sensors may be used to measure how much force is applied to the surface of the planar touch pad member by a user. Processed force sensor signals may indicate the presence of button activity such as press and release events. In response to detected button activity or other activity in the device, actuator drive signals may be generated for controlling the actuator. The user may supply settings to adjust signal processing and tactile feedback parameters.
