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 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").

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

Abstract

The present invention discloses an electronic device having a touch-sensitive surface, a display, and one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts. The electronic device displays a lower-level user interface that is part of a user interface hierarchy, wherein the hierarchy includes at least three levels, including the lower-level user interface, an intermediate-level user interface and a higher-level user interface. The device also, while displaying the lower-level user interface, detects an input on a portion of the device that is associated with user interface hierarchy navigation and, in response to detecting the input, in accordance with a determination that the input meets first transition criteria, the device replaces display of the lower-level user interface with display of the intermediate-level user interface and in accordance with a determination that the input meets second transition criteria, the device replaces display of the lower-level user interface with display of the higher-level user interface.
