Embodiment Construction

[0040] 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 thus a substitute) 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").

[0041] Additionally, in systems where the track...

Abstract

The present invention provides an electronic device having a display, a touch-sensitive surface and one or more sensors for detecting the intensity of contact with the touch-sensitive surface, the electronic device displaying corresponding Control icons and a cursor positioned over the corresponding control icons. The device detects a stationary press input on the touch-sensitive surface, the stationary press input comprising an increase in intensity of a contact corresponding to the cursor. In response to detecting the stationary press input, the device changes an appearance of the corresponding control icon based on the simulated three-dimensional characteristic of the corresponding control icon, and changes the appearance of the corresponding control icon based on the change in appearance of the corresponding control icon. The cursor is moved laterally across the display.
