Embodiment Construction

[0022]The methods, devices and GUIs described herein make the manipulation of the user interface more efficient and intuitive for the user. In some embodiments, for a device with a touch-sensitive surface that is sensitive to a range of contact intensities, the device provides additional intensity-based functionality to supplement conventional functionality. For example, additional functionality provided by intensity-based input (eg, action / command shortcuts provided by intensity-based gestures) is seamlessly integrated within the normal functionality provided by conventional tap, swipe, and pinch / spread gestures. Users can continue to use regular (non-strength-based) gestures to perform regular functions (for example, pinch to zoom) without accidentally activating additional functions. But users can also easily discover, understand and use intensity-based input and its additional functions (for example, use two thumb gestures to "bend" or "twist" the device to perform undo / re...

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: detecting a first gesture comprising simultaneously detecting a first contacting and a second contact, detecting an intensity of the first contact, and detecting an intensity of the second contact; and in response to detecting the first gesture: based on determining that the first gesture satisfies a first operational criterion (comprising A first operation is performed when the intensities of the first contact and the second contact meet corresponding intensity thresholds), performing a first operation; and based on determining that the first gesture satisfies a second operation standard, wherein when the first When the intensity of the contact and the second contact does not meet the corresponding intensity threshold, the second operation standard can be satisfied, and a second operation different from the first operation is performed.

Description

technical field [0001] This document generally relates to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces, including but not limited to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces that detect inputs for manipulating a user interface. Background technique [0002] The use of touch-sensitive surfaces as input devices for computers and other electronic computing devices has grown significantly in recent years. Exemplary touch-sensitive surfaces include touchpads and touchscreen displays. Such surfaces are widely used to manipulate user interfaces on displays. [0003] Exemplary manipulations include: performing operations such as zooming; adjusting the position and / or size of one or more user interface objects; and activating buttons or opening files / applications represented by user interface objects; operation. [0004] In some cases, the user will need to be in a file management program (e.g., Finder by Apple Inc. (Cupertino, California)), an instant messaging applic...
