Embodiment Construction

[0054] The methods, devices, and GUIs described herein provide visual and / or tactile feedback that makes manipulation of user interface objects more efficient and intuitive for users. For example, in systems where the click action of the trackpad is decoupled from the contact intensity (e.g., contact force, contact pressure, or a substitute thereof) required to reach an activation threshold, the device may generate different haptic outputs for different activation events ( For example, a "different click") (eg, such that a click that achieves a certain result is distinguished from a click that produces no result or achieves a different result than the specific result). In addition, haptic output may be generated in response to other events unrelated to increased intensity of contact, such as when a user interface object moves to a particular location, boundary, or orientation, or when an event occurs at the device (e.g., "Stop").

[0055] Additionally, in systems where the tr...

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 detects a contact on the touch-sensitive surface while a focus selector corresponding to the contact is at a respective location on the display associated with additional information not initially displayed on the display. While the focus selector is at the respective location, upon determining that the contact has an intensity above a respective intensity threshold before a predefined delay time has elapsed with the focus selector at the respective location, the device displays the additional information associated with the respective location without waiting until the predefined delay time has elapsed; and upon determining that the contact has an intensity below the respective intensity threshold, the device waits until the predefined delay time has elapsed to display the additional information associated with the respective location.
