    Abstract: An electronic device, with a display and an input device, displays, on the display, a user interface for an application. While displaying the user interface, the device receives a user input. In response to the user input: the device provides to the application a first input event having a phase field with a first phase value, the first input event corresponding to an input proximate to but not in contact with a touch-sensitive surface. After providing the first input event, the device provides to the application a second input event having a phase field with a second phase value, the second input event corresponding to the user input being in contact with the touch-sensitive surface. The device displays, on the display, an update to the user interface for the application that is based at least in part on the first input event and the second input event.

    Abstract: In response to a substantially stationary input directed to a user interface object on a first user interface: if the input does not meet an input threshold, the device, after detecting an end of the input, replaces display of the first user interface with a second user interface corresponding to the user interface object; if the input meets the input threshold and does not meet a greater, second input threshold, the device displays, after detecting the end of the input, a first respective user interface region that includes information corresponding to the user interface object overlaying a portion of the first user interface; and if the input meets the greater, second input threshold, the device displays, prior to detecting the end of the input, the first respective user interface region that includes information corresponding to the user interface object overlaying a portion of the first user interface.

    Abstract: An electronic device, while displaying a user interface for a first application, receives at the first application information that describes a first touch detected at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a respective user interface object. In accordance with a determination that the first touch meets predefined criteria associated with initiating a respective type of interface operation, the device initiates a user interface operation of the respective type involving the respective user interface object. The first application receives instructions to ignore the first touch with respect to user interface operations other than the respective type of interface operation, and ignores the first touch with respect to user interface operations other than the respective type of interface operation. In some embodiments, the respective type of interface operation is a drag operation, for dragging an object in or from a view of the first application.

    Abstract: An electronic device, with a display and an input device separate from the display, displays a user interface that includes a representation of a first application and a pointer object. The device receives, at the input device, a user input event directed to a location in the user interface at which the pointer object is displayed. In response to the user input event, when the respective location in the user interface at which the pointer object is displayed is over the representation of the first application, the device provides, to the first application, information that describes a simulated touch event including information that describes locations of one or more simulated touches in the user interface; and displays, on the display, a change in the representation of the first application that is determined by the first application in response to the information that describes the simulated touch event.
