Embodiment Construction

[0026] Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure the embodiments.

[0027] Attention is first directed to embodiments of portable devices, including portable communication devices, where the device has a user interface that detects one or more contacts and / or motions through the use of multiple touch inputs. Such devices perform one or more operations on graphical objects based on one or more user contacts and / or movements.

Abstract

A portable communication device with multi-touch input detects one or more multi-touch contacts and motions and performs one or more operations on an object based on the one or more multi-touch contacts and / or motions. The object has a resolution that is less than a pre-determined threshold when the operation is performed on the object, and the object has a resolution that is greater than the pre -determined threshold at other times.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to user interfaces using multiple touch-sensitive displays. Background technique [0002] With the miniaturization of portable devices and the increase in the amount of information to be processed and stored, designing user interfaces that allow users to easily interact with the devices is now a challenge. However, this design is not very effective because the user interface is not only the means by which the user receives the content, but also responds to user actions or actions, including the user's attempts to access device features or tools . Certain portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones, have resorted to adding more buttons, overloading button functions, or using complex menu systems to allow users to access, store, and manipulate data. These conventional user interfaces often result in complex key sequences and menu hierarchies that need to be memorized by the user. In fact, some key se...
