Abstract: A device may include a pressure sensor; a user interface including an input surface opposite to an underside of the user interface, where the underside is positioned near the pressure sensor; a controller; memory in communication with the controller and comprising programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the controller to detect a lower pressure input, simultaneously detect a higher pressure input, calculate a pressure differential between the lower pressure input and the higher pressure input, and move an object depicted in a display in communication with the controller based on the pressure differential.

Abstract: Operating a portable electronic device may include detecting a gesture performed above a capacitance sensing strip that is located between and arrangement of mechanical keys on keyboard assembly and the far side of the keyboard assembly, determining a number of fingers used in the gesture, selecting a mode based on the number of fingers, and executing an action in the selected mode.
