Abstract

A method and an electronic device for manipulating a first user interface object are provided. The electronic device is capable of detecting a first type of touch on a touch screen of the electronic device and a second type of touch on the touch screen. The electronic device detects a first touch of the first type at the first user interface object. The electronic device sets the first user interface object to a first state in response to the detection of the first touch. Next, the electronic device detects a second touch of the first type at a second user interface object. Then, the electronic device manipulates the first or second user interface object based on properties of the first and second user interface objects in response to the detection of the second touch.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of user interfaces for electronic devices including touch screens. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to methods and electronic devices for manipulating a first user interface object. Background technique [0002] A known user interface technique, commonly referred to as drag-and-drop, allows a computer user to move files between different folders in a file system in a user-friendly manner compared to using command line instructions. Other uses of the drag and drop operation include adding music tracks to playlists, moving text in word processing applications, and the like. Typically, a user uses a mouse or similar pointing device connected to the computer to manipulate files or other user interface objects such as music tracks, text, and the like. [0003] For the above example of moving a file, the user first clicks on the icon representing the file, then while pointing to the fil...
