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 for detecting the intensity of a contact, the electronic device displaying a lower-level user interface as part of a user interface hierarchy, Wherein the hierarchical structure includes at least three levels, including a lower-level user interface, an intermediate-level user interface and a higher-level user interface. The device also detects an input on a portion of the device associated with user interface hierarchy navigation while the lower-level user interface is displayed, and in response to detecting the input, upon determining that the input satisfies a first transition criterion, the device utilizes an intermediate The device replaces the display of the lower-level user interface with the display of the lower-level user interface, and upon determining that the input satisfies a second transition criterion, the device replaces the display of the lower-level user interface with the display of the higher-level user interface.
