Embodiment Construction

[0028] In an electronic device displaying a graphical user interface and having an intensity-sensitive input element, both accurate and fast detection and differentiation of multiple different gestures such as a deep press, a long press, a single tap, a double tap, and possibly a triple tap Gestures) are challenging. Such gestures involve inputs with time-varying intensity. Distinguishing such gestures requires analyzing the strength of the input on the input element as well as analyzing the timing aspects or characteristics of the input. Also, some users have a "heavier touch" than others, applying more pressure on average than other users. Similarly, some users enter gestures at a higher rate than others. Despite these different patterns or styles of user input, electronic devices need to accurately discern user intent and must discern user intent with low latency so that operations requested or commanded by the user proceed promptly in response to the user's touch input. ...

Abstract

The present invention discloses an electronic device that detects a first increase in intensity of an input on an input followed by a first decrease in the intensity of an input on an input and determines whether the first decrease satisfies release click detection criteria . The release click detection criterion requires that the intensity of the input decrease below a first release click intensity threshold, which is selected based on the intensity of the input during the first increase in intensity. Upon determining that the first decrease in intensity of the input satisfies the release click detection criteria, the device provides first feedback, such as performing an operation that changes the displayed user interface and / or providing a tactile output, thereby indicating that the first decrease in intensity of the input was recognized as Release the click.

Description

technical field [0001] This document generally relates to electronic devices having one or more intensity-sensitive input elements, including but not limited to electronic devices having a touch-sensitive display and optionally including other input elements for detecting the intensity of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface. Background technique [0002] The use of intensity-sensitive input elements, including but not limited to touch-sensitive surfaces, as input devices for computers and other electronic computing devices has grown significantly in recent years. Exemplary intensity sensitive input elements include buttons with touch intensity sensors, and touchpads and touch screen displays with touch intensity sensors. Touch input on such surfaces is used to manipulate the user interface and user interface objects on the display. [0003] Exemplary user interface objects include digital images, video, text, icons, control elements (such as buttons), and other graphics....
