Embodiment Construction

[0024] Many electronic devices have graphical user interfaces capable of displaying the user interfaces of multiple software applications at the same time. Where two application UIs are displayed adjacent to each other, the user may touch the first application UI when intending to touch the second application UI, and may touch the first application UI when intending to touch the first application UI. Touch the second application user interface. For example, when a user uses touch input (e.g., finger input or stylus input) to draw on a drawing application UI close to the border of the drawing application user interface, the border may be drawn and cause the touch input to leave the drawing application User Interface. A user may become frustrated if drawing a border results in unintentional actions, such as altering an adjacent application user interface (eg, a web browser application) and / or undoing a drawn stroke in the drawing application user interface. In another example,...

Abstract

The invention discloses an electronic device. When the electronic device displays a user interface, the user interface includes a first area corresponding to a first software application program and a second area corresponding to a second software application program. A first touch input is received on the display, the first touch input originating from a first location corresponding to the first area and extending to a second location corresponding to the second area. The first area includes a non-border area and a border area. In response to receiving the first touch input, the device utilizes the first software application to process the first touch input when the first location corresponds to a non-boundary area of ​​the first area. The device conditionally processes the first touch input with the second software application when the first location corresponds to a border area of ​​the first area.

Description

technical field [0001] This document generally relates to electronic devices having touch-sensitive surfaces, including but not limited to electronic devices having touch-sensitive surfaces that include multiple regions. Background technique [0002] The use of touch-sensitive surfaces as input devices for computers and other electronic computing devices has increased significantly in recent years. Exemplary touch-sensitive surfaces include touchpads and touchscreen displays. Such surfaces are widely used for manipulating user interface objects on a display. [0003] Exemplary manipulations include adjusting the position and / or size of one or more user interface objects or activating a button or opening a file / application represented by the user interface object, and associating metadata with one or more user interface objects or Other ways to manipulate the user interface. Exemplary user interface objects include digital images, video, text, icons, control elements such ...
