This relates generally to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces, including but not limited to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces that perform various display operations in conjunction with receiving and/or generating tactile information.
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 touch-screen displays. Such surfaces are widely used to perform display operations on a user interface of a display.
Exemplary display operations include adjusting the position of one or more user interface objects, activating buttons or opening files/applications represented by user interface objects, as well as changing the view of one or more portions of a user interface. Exemplary user interface objects include files, folders, calendar entries, icons, and control elements such as buttons and other graphics. A user will, in some circumstances, need to perform display operations involving user interface objects in a file management program (e.g., Finder from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California), a calendaring program (e.g., iCal from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California), an image management application (e.g., Aperture, iPhoto, or Photos from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California), a digital content (e.g., videos and music) management application (e.g., iTunes from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California), a drawing application, a presentation application (e.g., Keynote from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California), a word processing application (e.g., Pages from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California), or a spreadsheet application (e.g., Numbers from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California).
But existing methods for performing these display operations are cumbersome and inefficient, and can take multiple steps. For example, if a user wishes to change a view while dragging one or more user interface objects, the user needs to release the one or more user interface objects and change a view of a portion of a user interface, and then pick up the one or more user interface objects again to move the one or more user interface objects to the changed view. This sequence of steps is complex and takes additional time.
Accordingly, there is a need for electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for performing various display operations. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace conventional methods for performing various display operations. In addition, when tactile outputs are used to provide feedback to users, there is a need for methods and interfaces for adjusting tactile outputs. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace conventional methods for providing tactile outputs. Such methods and interfaces reduce the number, extent, and/or nature of the inputs from a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges.
The above deficiencies and other problems associated with user interfaces for electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces are reduced or eliminated by the disclosed devices. In some embodiments, the device is a desktop computer. In some embodiments, the device is portable (e.g., a notebook computer, tablet computer, or handheld device). In some embodiments, the device is a personal electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, such as a watch). In some embodiments, the device has a touchpad. In some embodiments, the device has a touch-sensitive display (also known as a “touch screen” or “touch-screen display”). In some embodiments, the device has a graphical user interface (GUI), one or more processors, memory and one or more modules, programs or sets of instructions stored in the memory for performing multiple functions. In some embodiments, the user interacts with the GUI primarily through stylus and/or finger contacts and gestures on the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the functions optionally include image editing, drawing, presenting, word processing, spreadsheet making, game playing, telephoning, video conferencing, e-mailing, instant messaging, workout support, digital photographing, digital videoing, web browsing, digital music playing, note taking, and/or digital video playing. Executable instructions for performing these functions are, optionally, included in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium or other computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors.

For a better understanding of the various described embodiments, reference should be made to the Description of Embodiments below, in conjunction with the following drawings in which like reference numerals refer to corresponding parts throughout the figures.
Many electronic devices have graphical user interfaces with draggable user interface objects (e.g., files, folders, calendar entries, and icons) and control user interface objects (e.g., buttons, switches, sliders, and other controls). When a user selects a calendar entry for today in a month view and moves it to a different date and time, the user may need to drag the calendar entry to the different date and drop the calendar entry, switch to a day view, and then drag the calendar entry again and drop it on a new time. Alternatively, the user may open the calendar entry and manually type in the new date and time. In the embodiments described below, an improved method for performing operations (e.g., moving a calendar entry) is achieved by displaying a user interface that includes a draggable object (e.g., a calendar entry) and control objects (e.g., view buttons). While the draggable object is being dragged, one of the control objects is activated to change the view (e.g., from the month view to the day view), and the draggable object is dropped into a user-specified location (e.g., a user-specified time slot). This method allows for interaction with control objects while dragging a draggable object, thereby eliminating the need for extra, separate steps for interacting with control objects. This method, which uses a single contact to both drag an object and interact with a control object, is optionally be used in other applications as well.
Below,
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the various described embodiments. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the various described embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, circuits, and networks have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments.
It will also be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. are, in some instances, used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first contact could be termed a second contact, and, similarly, a second contact could be termed a first contact, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. The first contact and the second contact are both contacts, but they are not the same contact, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
The terminology used in the description of the various described embodiments herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described embodiments and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term “and/or” as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms “includes,” “including,” “comprises,” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
As used herein, the term “if” is, optionally, construed to mean “when” or “upon” or “in response to determining” or “in response to detecting,” depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase “if it is determined” or “if [a stated condition or event] is detected” is, optionally, construed to mean “upon determining” or “in response to determining” or “upon detecting [the stated condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [the stated condition or event],” depending on the context.
Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device, such as a mobile telephone, that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/or music player functions. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, without limitation, the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch-screen displays and/or touchpads), are, optionally, used. It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communications device, but is a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-screen display and/or a touchpad).
In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse and/or a joystick.
The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a note taking application, a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.
The various applications that are executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface as well as corresponding information displayed on the device are, optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application. In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.
Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays.
As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

The one or more buttons (e.g., 208,
Touch-sensitive display system 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. Display controller 156 receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to touch-sensitive display system 112. Touch-sensitive display system 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output corresponds to user-interface objects. As used herein, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object (e.g., a graphical user interface object that is configured to respond to inputs directed toward the graphical user interface object). Examples of user-interactive graphical user interface objects include, without limitation, a button, slider, icon, selectable menu item, switch, hyperlink, or other user interface control.
Touch-sensitive display system 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. Touch-sensitive display system 112 and display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on touch-sensitive display system 112 and converts the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages or images) that are displayed on touch-sensitive display system 112. In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between touch-sensitive display system 112 and the user corresponds to a finger of the user or a stylus.
Touch-sensitive display system 112 optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touch-sensitive display system 112 and display controller 156 optionally detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch-sensitive display system 112. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California.
Touch-sensitive display system 112 optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen video resolution is in excess of 400 dpi (e.g., 500 dpi, 800 dpi, or greater). The user optionally makes contact with touch-sensitive display system 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.
In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device 100 optionally includes a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating particular functions.

In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include operating system 126, communication module (or set of instructions) 128, contact/motion module (or set of instructions) 130, graphics module (or set of instructions) 132, haptic feedback module (or set of instructions) 133, text input module (or set of instructions) 134, Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions) 135, and applications (or sets of instructions) 136. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 102 stores device/global internal state 157, as shown in
Operating system 126 (e.g., iOS, Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components.
Communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry 108 and/or external port 124. External port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with the 30-pin connector used in some iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California In some embodiments, the external port is a Lightning connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with the Lightning connector used in some iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California.
Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects contact with touch-sensitive display system 112 (in conjunction with display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact (e.g., by a finger or by a stylus), such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts or stylus contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on a touchpad.
Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (lift off) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (lift off) event. Similarly, tap, swipe, drag, and other gestures are optionally detected for a stylus by detecting a particular contact pattern for the stylus.

Each of the above identified modules and applications correspond to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (i.e., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise re-arranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 102 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.
In some embodiments, device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device 100, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on device 100 is, optionally, reduced.
The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device 100 to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed on device 100. In such embodiments, a “menu button” is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.
Event sorter 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to which to deliver the event information. Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display system 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state 157 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine application views 191 to which to deliver event information.
In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.
Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display system 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display system 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.
In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripheral interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).
In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.
Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views, when touch-sensitive display system 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.
Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.
Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (i.e., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.
Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.
Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver module 182.
In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. In yet other embodiments, event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact/motion module 130.
In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application's user interface. Each application view 191 of the application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a respective application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit (not shown) or a higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler 190 includes one or more of: data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178, and/or event data 179 received from event sorter 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176, object updater 177 or GUI updater 178 to update the application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 includes one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a respective application view 191.
A respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from event sorter 170, and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 and event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of: metadata 183, and event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).
Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information optionally also includes speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device.
Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event 187 include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display system 112, and lift-off of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.
In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display system 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display system 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test.
In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event 187 also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.
When a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.
In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.
In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.
In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.
In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in video player module 145. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on a touch-sensitive display.
In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.
It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 with input-devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc., on touch-pads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 is, optionally, used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that are, optionally executed on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on the touch-screen display.
In some embodiments, device 100 includes the touch-screen display, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 208, Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card slot 210, head set jack 212, and docking/charging external port 124. Push button 206 is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In some embodiments, device 100 also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone 113. Device 100 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive display system 112 and/or one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 100.
Each of the above identified elements in
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) that are, optionally, implemented on portable multifunction device 100.
It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in
Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures, etc.), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse based input or a stylus input). For example, a drag gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the drag gesture (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously.
As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector,” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in
As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact or a stylus contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average or a sum) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be readily accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button).
In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 100). For example, a mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touch-screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined thresholds values without changing the trackpad or touch-screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity” parameter).
As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds may include a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second intensity threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more intensity thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective option or forgo performing the respective operation) rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.
In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity. For example, a touch-sensitive surface may receive a continuous swipe contact transitioning from a start location and reaching an end location (e.g., a drag gesture), at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location may be based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, and not the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm may be applied to the intensities of the swipe contact prior to determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of: an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of the swipe contact for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity.
The user interface figures described herein (e.g.,
In some embodiments, the response of the device to inputs detected by the device depends on criteria based on the contact intensity during the input. For example, for some “light press” inputs, the intensity of a contact exceeding a first intensity threshold during the input triggers a first response. In some embodiments, the response of the device to inputs detected by the device depends on criteria that include both the contact intensity during the input and time-based criteria. For example, for some “deep press” inputs, the intensity of a contact exceeding a second intensity threshold during the input, greater than the first intensity threshold for a light press, triggers a second response only if a delay time has elapsed between meeting the first intensity threshold and meeting the second intensity threshold. This delay time is typically less than 200 ms in duration (e.g., 40, 100, or 120 ms, depending on the magnitude of the second intensity threshold, with the delay time increasing as the second intensity threshold increases). This delay time helps to avoid accidental deep press inputs. As another example, for some “deep press” inputs, there is a reduced-sensitivity time period that occurs after the time at which the first intensity threshold is met. During the reduced-sensitivity time period, the second intensity threshold is increased. This temporary increase in the second intensity threshold also helps to avoid accidental deep press inputs. For other deep press inputs, the response to detection of a deep press input does not depend on time-based criteria.
In some embodiments, one or more of the input intensity thresholds and/or the corresponding outputs vary based on one or more factors, such as user settings, contact motion, input timing, application running, rate at which the intensity is applied, number of concurrent inputs, user history, environmental factors (e.g., ambient noise), focus selector position, and the like. Exemplary factors are described in U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 14/399,606 and 14/624,296, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.
For example,
An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold ITL to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold ITL and the deep press intensity threshold ITD is sometimes referred to as a “light press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold ITD to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold ITD is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold IT0 to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold IT0 and the light press intensity threshold ITL is sometimes referred to as detecting the contact on the touch-surface. A decrease of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity above the contact-detection intensity threshold IT0 to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold IT0 is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface. In some embodiments IT0 is zero. In some embodiments, IT0 is greater than zero. In some illustrations a shaded circle or oval is used to represent intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some illustrations, a circle or oval without shading is used represent a respective contact on the touch-sensitive surface without specifying the intensity of the respective contact.
In some embodiments, described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the respective operation is performed on a “down stroke” of the respective press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., the respective operation is performed on an “up stroke” of the respective press input).
In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., the respective operation is performed on an “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances).
For ease of explanation, the description of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold. As described above, in some embodiments, the triggering of these responses also depends on time-based criteria being met (e.g., a delay time has elapsed between a first intensity threshold being met and a second intensity threshold being met).
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) and associated processes that may be implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100 or device 300, with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors to detect intensities of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface.
User interface 5002 also shows several icons representing files and folders. These file and folder icons are exemplary draggable objects 5004. In some embodiments, draggable objects 5004 can be moved from one location in a user interface, such as user interface 5002-A, to another location. In some embodiments, draggable objects refer to user interface objects that are configured to be moved independently (e.g., draggable objects 5004 can be moved without moving user interface 5002-A, although draggable objects 5004 may also be moved by moving user interface 5002-A). In some embodiments, control objects such as directory control objects 5006 or file view control objects 5008 cannot be moved independently (e.g., certain control objects 5006 cannot be around within user interface 5002-A). In some embodiments, draggable objects refer to user interface objects that are configured to be moved individually (e.g., a draggable object 5004 can be moved without moving any other user interface objects, such as another draggable object or a control object). In some embodiments, a control object is configured to initiate, when selected or activated, a predefined operation (e.g., changing a view of a user interface) other than displaying content of a draggable object (e.g., a file or a photo) or launching an application that corresponds to the draggable object.
Contact 5016 is shown to exhibit “minimal” contact with touch-sensitive surface 451. Intensity diagram 5010-A illustrates a detected intensity between thresholds IT0 and ITL, corresponding to the minimal contact detected, of contact 5016. In some embodiments, a minimal contact with touch-sensitive surface 451 is characterized as any contact detected to have an intensity between thresholds IT0 and ITL. In some embodiments, contact 5014 also exhibited minimal contact with touch-sensitive surface 451. In some embodiments, contact 5014 and contact 5016 are part of one continuously detected user interaction (e.g., dragging or tracing gesture) with touch-sensitive surface 451. As used herein, “minimal contact” refers to a contact having intensity within a certain intensity range, and does not necessarily indicate that intensity of a minimal contact is at a minimum. For example, a contact with touch-sensitive surface 451 may have an intensity below the intensity range for a minimal contact (e.g., intensity below IT0).
In some embodiments, detecting a contact intensity above intensity threshold ITL while focus selector 5013 is displayed over draggable object 504-2 results in the satisfaction of one or more object selection criteria. For example, if a light press input is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 while a cursor is over a file folder, the file folder is selected. In some embodiments, the detected contact intensity must be between ITL and ITD, in order to satisfy the one or more object selection criteria. In some embodiments, detected contact intensity above ITL is sufficient to satisfy the one or more object selection criteria without regard to whether or not the detected contact intensity is above or below ITD.
In some embodiments, user interface 5002-A is said to have one or more regions, where a respective region is associated with one or more operations or display operations. For example, user interface 5002-A shows at least region 5024 and region 5022. In this example, region 5024 contains one or more draggable objects 5004, and region 5022 contains one or more control objects 5008. In some embodiments, a region contains one or more regions (e.g., sub-regions). For example, each draggable object 5004 within region 5024 is considered to be a respective region or sub-region. In some embodiments, a region is characterized by the display operations which the region is configured to initiate (e.g., changing a file view, changing a calendar view, showing a menu, and changing color or opacity of an object). In some embodiments, a region is characterized by the contents of the region (e.g., containing one or more draggable objects, or containing one or more control objects).
In response to detecting the increase (or a change) in intensity at contact 5018, file view control object 5008-1 is activated, and in some embodiments, as shown in
In response to detecting the increase (or a change) in intensity at contact 5028, directory control object 5006-2 is activated, and in some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, draggable object 5004-5 is still selected, but is not shown in user interface 5002-B because object 5004-5 is still located in a directory that is being displayed in user interface 5002-A (e.g., Backup Directory), and user interface 5002-B is displaying the contents of a different directory (e.g., Macintosh HD). In some embodiments, detecting maintained intensity above threshold ITD at contact 5050 does not cause any further display operation to be performed. In some embodiments, detecting a reduction in intensity to a level below threshold ITD but above ITL at contact 5050, maintains selection of draggable object 5004-5 but does not cause any further display operation to be performed.
Contact 5062 is shown to exhibit minimal contact with touch-sensitive surface 451. Intensity diagram 5010-A illustrates a detected intensity between thresholds IT0 and ITL, corresponding to the minimal contact detected, of contact 5062. For example, the user interaction including contact 5062 is a light tap on touch-sensitive surface 451, or a very light, continuously maintained contact.
Focus selector 5013 is shown to be displayed over draggable object 5004-6, of user interface 5002-B. As described above, in some embodiments, respective objects of a user interface displayed on display 450, are defined to have respective regions. Accordingly, in response to detecting a contact with intensity between thresholds IT0 and ITL while the first tactile output setting is active (e.g., silent trackpad mode) and focus selector 5013 is displayed over the region corresponding to draggable object 5004-6, a first display operation is performed. In this example, a folder in the Macintosh HD directory is selected and a display operation is performed to visually distinguish the folder from other un-selected folders in the same directory (e.g., so as to indicate that further user inputs on touch-sensitive surface 451 will affect the selected object, for example a lateral movement of the contact on touch-sensitive surface 451 will cause user interface object 5004-6 to be moved on the display, while pressing harder on touch-sensitive surface 451 will cause a contextual menu to be displayed). In this example there is no tactile output generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments a tactile output is generated. In this example there is no sound generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments a sound is generated. In some embodiments, a quick tap on touch sensitive surface 451 (between thresholds IT0 and ITL that ends within a predetermined time period) causes a primary activation operation to be performed, such as opening the “users” folder represented by icon 5004-6, while a maintained contact on touch sensitive surface 451 (between thresholds IT0 and ITL that does not end within a predetermined time period) enables other operations to be performed (e.g., moving user interface object 5004-6).
Focus selector 5013 is shown to be displayed over draggable object 5004-6, of user interface 5002-B. In response to detecting focus selector 5013 over the region corresponding to draggable object 5004-6 while the first tactile output setting is active and a contact intensity between thresholds ITL and ITD is detected, a second display operation is performed. In this example, it is desired to view options relating to a particular folder in the Macintosh HD directory, and a display operation is performed to display a menu 5064 of options relating to the folder. In this example there is no tactile output generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments a tactile output is generated. In this example there is no sound generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments a sound is generated.
In some embodiments, the second display operation is performed in response to detecting a contact intensity above intensity threshold ITL while focus selector 5013 is displayed over the region corresponding to draggable object 5004-6 and the first tactile output setting is active (e.g., silent trackpad mode) regardless of whether or not the contact intensity is above intensity threshold ITD.
In some embodiments, the second display operation is performed in response to detecting a contact intensity between thresholds ITL and ITD while focus selector 5013 is displayed over the region corresponding to draggable object 5004-6 and the first tactile output setting is active, and no further display operation is performed in response to detecting a contact intensity above intensity threshold ITD while focus selector 5013 is displayed over the region corresponding to draggable object 5004-6 and the first tactile output setting is active. For example, the menu 5064 remains on display even when the contact intensity is above threshold ITD.
Focus selector 5013 is shown to be displayed over draggable object 5004-6, of user interface 5002-B. In response to detecting focus selector 5013 over the region corresponding to draggable object 5004-6 while the first tactile output setting is active and a contact intensity above threshold ITD is detected, no display operation is performed. In this example, while the first tactile output setting is active, there is no display operation associated with the detected intensity level. In this example there is no tactile output generated in response to detecting the contact, but in some embodiments a tactile output is generated. In this example there is no sound generated in response to detecting the contact, but in some embodiments a sound is generated.
Focus selector 5013 is shown to be displayed over draggable object 5004-6, of user interface 5002-B. In response to detecting focus selector 5013 over the region corresponding to draggable object 5004-6 while the second tactile output setting is active and a contact intensity between thresholds IT0 and ITL is detected, no display operation is performed. In this example, while the second tactile output setting is active, there is no display operation associated with the detected intensity level. In this example there is no tactile output generated in response to detecting the contact, but in some embodiments a tactile output is generated. In this example there is no sound generated in response to detecting the contact, but in some embodiments a sound is generated.
Focus selector 5013 is shown to be displayed over draggable object 5004-6, of user interface 5002-B. In response to detecting focus selector 5013 over the region corresponding to draggable object 5004-6 while the second tactile output setting is active and a contact intensity between thresholds ITL and ITD is detected, a first display operation is performed. In some embodiments a different display operation is performed. In this example, a folder in the Macintosh HD directory is selected and a display operation is performed to visually distinguish the folder from other un-selected folders in the same directory (e.g., so as to indicate that further user inputs on touch-sensitive surface 451 will affect the selected object, for example a lateral movement of the contact on touch-sensitive surface 451 will cause user interface object 5004-6 to be moved on the display, while pressing harder on touch-sensitive surface 451 will cause a contextual menu to be displayed). In this example there is a first tactile output 5066 generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments no tactile output is generated, or a different tactile output is generated. In this example there is no sound generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments a sound is generated. In some embodiments a particular sound is generated in conjunction with tactile output 5066 (e.g., the first tactile output). In some embodiments, a quick tap on touch sensitive surface 451 (between thresholds ITL and ITD that ends within a predetermined time period) causes a primary activation operation to be performed, such as opening the “users” folder represented by icon 5004-6, while a maintained contact on touch sensitive surface 451 (between thresholds ITL and ITD that does not end within a predetermined time period) enables other operations to be performed (e.g., moving user interface object 5004-6).
Focus selector 5013 is shown to be displayed over draggable object 5004-6, of user interface 5002-B. In response to detecting focus selector 5013 over the region corresponding to draggable object 5004-6 while the second tactile output setting is active and a contact intensity above threshold ITD is detected, a second display operation is performed. In some embodiments a different display operation is performed. In this example, it is desired to view options relating to a particular folder in the Macintosh HD directory, and a display operation is performed to display a menu 5064 of options relating to the folder. In this example there is a second tactile output 5068 generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments no tactile output is generated, or a different tactile output is generated. In this example there is no sound generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments a sound is generated. In some embodiments a particular sound is generated in conjunction with tactile output 5068 (e.g., the second tactile output), and in some embodiments, the particular sound associated with tactile output 5068 is distinct from a sound associated with another other type of tactile output (e.g., tactile output 5066).
Figure SEE illustrates region chart 5070 that indicates a type of region in user interface 5002-A that focus selector 5013 is displayed over. A first region is configured to perform particular display operations in response to the detection of particular types of inputs on touch-sensitive surface 451, and a second region is configured to perform at least one different display operation in response to the detection of particular types of inputs on touch-sensitive surface 451. For example, the first region performs a first display operation in response to detecting a “light press” on touch-sensitive surface 451, and performs a second display operation in response to detecting a “deep press” on surface 451, while the second region performs a third display operation in response to detecting a “light press” on touch-sensitive surface 451, and does not perform any display operation in response to detecting a “deep press” on surface 451. In some embodiments, regions are further characterized by one or more tactile output operations performed in conjunction with display operations.
Figure SEE illustrates focus selector 5013 displayed over a first region, and a user interaction including contact 5062 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451. Intensity diagram 5010-A illustrates a detected intensity between thresholds ITL and ITD, corresponding to contact 5062. For example, the user interaction including contact 5062 is a medium-intensity, continuously maintained contact (e.g., a contact with intensity between thresholds ITL and ITD).
Focus selector 5013 is shown to be displayed over draggable object 5004-6, of user interface 5002-B. In response to detecting focus selector 5013 over the region corresponding to draggable object 5004-6 (defined as being of the first region type), and a contact intensity between thresholds ITL and ITD, a first display operation is performed. In some embodiments a different display operation is performed. In this example, a folder in the Macintosh HD directory is selected and a display operation is performed to visually distinguish the folder from other un-selected folders in the same directory. In this example there is a third tactile output 5072 generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments no tactile output is generated, or a different tactile output is generated. In this example there is no sound generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments a sound is generated. In some embodiments a particular sound is generated in conjunction with tactile output 5072 (e.g., the third tactile output).
Focus selector 5013 is shown to be displayed over draggable object 5004-6, of user interface 5002-B. In response to detecting focus selector 5013 over the region corresponding to draggable object 5004-6 (defined as being of the first region type), and a contact intensity above threshold ITD, a second display operation is performed. In this example, it is desired to view options relating to a particular folder in the Macintosh HD directory, and a display operation is performed to display a menu 5064 of options relating to the folder. In this example there is a first tactile output 5066 generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments no tactile output is generated or a different tactile output is generated. In this example there is no sound generated in conjunction with performing the display operation, but in some embodiments a sound is generated in conjunction with tactile output 5066 (e.g., the first tactile output).

In some cases, users unintentionally press the touch-sensitive surface with high intensity (e.g., a deep press input) without an intention to activate the second operation (e.g., a deep press operation). The unintentional deep press input may be due to variation in perception of intensity from person to person, variation in finger strength from person to person, variation in perception of intensity for an individual over time, and/or variation in intensity for an individual over time (e.g., decreased intensity due to fatigue or increased intensity due to reduced sensitivity of the individual), etc. An unintentional activation of the second operation (e.g., a deep press operation) is inefficient, wastes time, and degrades the user experience. Thus, it is important to reduce “unintentional” activations of the second operation (e.g., a deep press operation).

As described below, the method 600 provides an intuitive way to interact with one or more control objects in a user interface. The method reduces the number, extent, and/or nature of the inputs from a user when interacting with one or more control objects in a user interface, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to interact with one or more control objects in a user interface faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

The device detects (604) a contact (e.g., contact 5016 in
After detecting the contact on the touch-sensitive surface at the first location, the device detects (606) a movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface to a second location that corresponds to a first control object of the one or more control objects displayed on the display (e.g., movement 5020 in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting movement of the contact from the first location to the second location, and in accordance with a determination that the contact at the first location does not satisfy the object selection criteria, the device moves (608) the focus selector to the first control object in accordance with the movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface to the first control object without moving the first draggable object to the first control object (e.g., if the contact at the first location does not satisfy the object selection criteria, the first draggable object is not selected and the focus selector moves without the first draggable object). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the contact at the second location satisfies the second intensity criteria, the device performs (610) the first predetermined operation that corresponds to activation of the first control object without moving the first draggable object to the first control object (e.g., if the focus selector moves over to file view control object 5008-1, icon view control object 5008-1 is activated and contents of the directory is displayed in an icon view). In some embodiments, the method includes, in accordance with a determination that the contact at the second location satisfies the first intensity criteria, performing the first predetermined operation that corresponds to activation of the first control object.
In response to detecting movement of the contact from the first location to the second location, and in accordance with a determination that the contact at the first location satisfies object selection criteria, the device moves (612) the first draggable object to the first control object in accordance with the movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface to the first control object (e.g.,

Furthermore, in some embodiments, the device detects (616) a movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface to a fourth location that corresponds to a second control object of the one or more control objects (e.g.,
In accordance with a determination that the contact at the second location satisfies first intensity criteria, the device performs (620) a first predetermined operation that corresponds to activation of the first control object (e.g., displaying contents of the directory in an icon view, as shown in
In some embodiments, the user interface includes (622) multiple distinct portions, a first portion of the multiple distinct portions (e.g., region 5022) includes the first control object, and performing the first predetermined operation that corresponds to activation of the first control object includes changing a second portion (e.g., region 5024), distinct from the first portion, of the multiple distinct portions. In some embodiments, changing the second portion includes forgoing a change to the first portion. For example, in
In some embodiments, the first software application is a calendar application (624), the user interface of the first software application includes multiple time-period user interface elements (e.g., control objects) in the first portion, the one or more draggable objects are one or more calendar entry objects (e.g., one or more graphical representations of calendar events), a respective time-period user interface element of the multiple time-period user interface elements corresponds to a predefined unit of time (e.g., day, week, month, and/or year), the second portion of the user interface of the first software application, prior to the determination that the contact at the second location satisfies the first intensity criteria, includes a calendar view that corresponds to a first unit of time (e.g., a day view), and changing the second portion includes replacing the calendar view that corresponds to a first unit of time with a calendar view that corresponds to a second unit of time that is distinct from the first unit of time (e.g., a month view).
In some embodiments, the first software application is a file system navigation application (626), also called a file manager or a file browser (e.g., Finder, Windows Explorer, and File Explorer) (e.g., the user interface of a file system navigation application in
In some embodiments, the device, subsequent to moving the first draggable object to the first control object and changing the second portion, detects (628) a movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface to a third location that corresponds to the changed second portion on the display. For example, changing the second portion of the display includes replacing the calendar view from a day view to a month view. In another example, changing the second portion of the display includes replacing display of contents in a first directory with display of contents in a second directory (e.g.,
In some embodiments, the object selection criteria include (634) second intensity criteria. For example, a contact with intensity between ITL and ITD is used to select a draggable object.
In some embodiments, the device concurrently displays (636) an entirety of the user interface of the first software application with a portion of a user interface of a second software application adjacent to the user interface of the first software application (e.g., user interface 5002-A and user interface 5002-B in
Furthermore, in some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the contact at the first location satisfies the object selection criteria, the device detects (638) a movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface to a fifth location that corresponds to the displayed portion of the user interface of the second software application on the display (e.g.,
In some embodiments, in response to a determination that the contact at the fifth location satisfies the first intensity criteria (e.g., intensity of contact satisfying threshold ITD in
In some embodiments, in response to a determination that the contact at the fifth location does not satisfy the first intensity criteria, the device determines (644) a time period during which the contact remains at the fifth location, and in response to a determination that the time period satisfies time-based activation criteria (e.g., focus selector 5013 remains over user interface 5002-B and satisfies the time-based activation criteria, as shown in
It should be understood that the particular order in which the operations in
As described below, the method 700 provides an intuitive way to perform operations in conjunction with generating tactile outputs. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when performing operations in conjunction with generating tactile outputs, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to perform operations in conjunction with generating tactile outputs faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The device displays (702), on the display of the electronic device, a user interface of a first software application. While displaying the user interface of the first software application, the device performs at least the following operations.
The device detects (704) a first input (e.g., a tap gesture) that includes a contact detected on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the contact included in the first input is associated with a respective region of the user interface of the first software application that is associated with a first operation (e.g., a response to a “light press” or “left click”) and a second operation (e.g., a response to a “deep press,” “right click,” or “option+click”). In some embodiments, the first operation is a first display operation and the second operation is a second display operation.
In response to detecting the first input (e.g., a tap gesture), and in accordance with a determination that a first tactile output setting is active (e.g., silent trackpad mode) for the first input, the device performs (706) the first operation without generating a tactile output. In some embodiments, the first tactile output setting is active for the first input, based on a location of the contact, a location of the focus selector corresponding to the contact, or a system-wide setting or condition. For example, as illustrated in
In response to detecting the first input, and in accordance with a determination that a second tactile output setting is active (e.g., non-silent trackpad mode) for the first input, the device forgoes (708) performing the first operation. For example, as illustrated in
The device detects (710) a second input (e.g., a light press) that includes a contact detected on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the contact included in the second input is associated with the respective region of the user interface of the first software application that is associated with the first operation (e.g., a response to a “light press” or “left click”) and the second operation (e.g., a response to a “deep press,” “right click,” or “option+click”) and the second input is different from the first input.
In response to detecting the second input, and in accordance with a determination that the second tactile output setting is active (e.g., non-silent trackpad mode) for the second input, the device performs (712) the first operation in conjunction with generating a first tactile output associated with the first operation. For example, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, the first tactile output (714) lasts for less than a predetermined time. In some embodiments, duration of the first tactile output is independent of duration of the contact remaining on the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the second tactile output lasts for less than the predetermined time. In some embodiments, duration of a respective tactile output is less than 0.5 seconds. In some embodiments, the duration of the respective predetermined tactile output is less than 0.4 seconds. In some embodiments, the duration of the respective predetermined tactile output is less than 0.3 seconds. In some embodiments, the duration of the respective predetermined tactile output is less than 0.2 seconds. In some embodiments, the duration of the respective predetermined tactile output is less than 0.1 seconds.
In response to detecting the second input, and in accordance with a determination that the first tactile output setting is active (e.g., silent trackpad mode) for the second input, the device performs (716) the second operation. In some embodiments, the device performs the second operation instead of the first operation, or without performing the first operation, and/or without generating the first tactile output. For example, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second input, in accordance with the determination that the first tactile output setting is active for the second input (e.g., silent trackpad mode), the device performs (718) the second operation without performing the first operation.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second input, in accordance with the determination that the first tactile output setting is active for the second input (e.g., silent trackpad mode), the device forgoes (720) generation of the first tactile output.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second input, in accordance with the determination that the first tactile output setting is active for the second input (e.g., silent trackpad mode), the device forgoes (722) generation of a second tactile output associated with the second operation.
In some embodiments, the device detects (724) a third input (e.g., a deep press) that includes a contact detected on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the contact included in the third input is associated with the respective region of the user interface of the first software application that is associated with the first operation (e.g., a response to a “light press” or “left click”) and the second operation (e.g., a response to a “deep press,” “right click,” or “option+click”) and the third input is different from the first input and the second input. In some embodiments, the contact in the second input and the contact in the third input are (726) a same contact that is continuously detected on the touch-sensitive surface between the second input and the third input. In some embodiments, the second input satisfies (728) a first intensity threshold and the contact in the third input satisfies a second intensity threshold that is higher than the first intensity threshold.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the third input (e.g., a deep press), and in accordance with a determination that the second tactile output setting is active (e.g., non-silent trackpad mode) for the third input, the device performs (730) the second operation in conjunction with generating a second tactile output associated with the second operation. For example, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the third input (e.g., a deep press), and in accordance with a determination that the first tactile output setting is active (e.g., silent trackpad mode) for the third input, the device forgoes (732) generation of the second tactile output. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the third input and in accordance with the determination that the first tactile output setting is active (e.g., silent trackpad mode), the device forgoes (734) repeating the second operation. For example, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, the second tactile output includes (736) an audible component that is louder than an audible component of the first tactile output. In some embodiments, the first tactile output has (738) a first tactile output intensity and the second tactile output has a second tactile output intensity that is greater than the first tactile output intensity.
It should be understood that the particular order in which the operations in
As described below, the method 800 provides an intuitive way to provide tactile outputs based on one or more regions of a user interface. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when providing tactile outputs based on one or more regions of a user interface, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to provide tactile outputs based on one or more regions of a user interface faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The device displays (802), on the display of the electronic device, a user interface that includes a first region that is configured to initiate a first display operation in response to an input (e.g., a light press) (optionally, an input associated with the first region) that satisfies first activation criteria and initiate a second display operation in response to an input (e.g., a deep press) (optionally, an input associated with the first region) that satisfies second activation criteria distinct from the first activation criteria, and a second region that is distinct from the first region, wherein the second region is configured to initiate a third display operation in response to an input (optionally, an input associated with the second region) that satisfies the first activation criteria (e.g., a light press) and the second region is not configured to initiate any display operation in response to an input (optionally, an input associated with the second region) that satisfies the second activation criteria (e.g., a deep press). For example, the first region is responsive to inputs that satisfy one or more first activation criteria and is also responsive to inputs that satisfy one or more second activation criteria, and the second region is responsive to inputs that satisfy the first activation criteria and is not responsive to inputs that satisfy the second activation criteria.
In some embodiments, the first activation criteria include (804) first intensity criteria. In some embodiments, the first intensity criteria include a first intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the second activation criteria include (806) second intensity criteria distinct from the first intensity criteria. In some embodiments, the second intensity criteria include a second intensity threshold that is higher than the first intensity threshold.
In some embodiments, the first region is (808) a region that includes a user interface control and the second region is a region that does not include any user interface control. In some embodiments, the user interface includes (810) a plurality of regions that are configured to perform display operations in response to inputs that satisfy the second activation criteria, and (all other) regions of the user interface that are outside of the plurality of regions are not configured to perform display operations to inputs that satisfy the second activation criteria. In some embodiments, the second activation criteria are correspond to a unique form of input to which only certain controls and/or applications are configured to respond. However, in order to maintain a consistent feel for the user interface, the input device provides feedback to the user indicating that the second activation criteria have been met even when the input corresponds to a location outside of the controls or applications that are configured to respond to the second activation criteria.
While displaying the user interface of the first software application, the device performs at least the following operations. The device detects (812) a first input that includes a contact detected on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the contact included in the first input is associated with the first region of the user interface.
In response to detecting the first input, and in accordance with a determination that the first input satisfies the first activation criteria (e.g., a light press), the device performs (814) the first display operation. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first input, in accordance with the determination that the first input satisfies the first activation criteria (e.g., a light press), the device concurrently generates (816) a tactile output of a third type that is distinct from the tactile output of the first type while performing the first display operation. For example, as illustrated in Figure SEE, region chart 5070 indicates that a detected contact is associated with the first region. In response to detecting the input associated with contact 5062, having an intensity level above threshold ITL, and below threshold ITD, the “Users” folder (object 5004-6) is highlighted (an exemplary first display operation is performed). Figure SEE also illustrates performance of this operation in conjunction with generating a third tactile output.
In some embodiments, the tactile output of the third type is distinct from the tactile output of a second type, described below. In some embodiments, the tactile output of the third type (e.g., a tactile output indicating a light press) has less salience (818) than salience of the tactile output of the first type (e.g., a tactile output for a deep operation) and greater salience than salience of the tactile output of a second type (e.g., a tactile output indicating absence of a deep operation). In some embodiments, the salience of a tactile output includes one or more of: an amplitude of the tactile output (e.g., speed and force of a displacement of the touch-sensitive surface) and a duration of the tactile output.
In response to detecting the first input, and in accordance with a determination that the first input satisfies the second activation criteria (e.g., a deep press), the device performs (820) the second display operation and concurrently generating a tactile output of a first type (e.g., a tactile output for a deep operation) while performing the second display operation. For example, as illustrated in
The device detects (822) a second input that includes a contact detected on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the second input is distinct from the first input and the contact included in the second input is associated with the second region of the user interface. For example,
In response to detecting the second input, and in accordance with a determination that the second input satisfies the first activation criteria (e.g., a light press), the device performs (824) the third display operation. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second input and in accordance with the determination that the second input satisfies the first activation criteria (e.g., a light press), the device concurrently generates (826) a tactile output of a fourth type that is distinct from the tactile output of the third type while performing the third display operation. For example, as illustrated in
In response to detecting the second input, and in accordance with a determination that the second input satisfies the second activation criteria (e.g., a deep press), the device generates (830) a tactile output of a second type (e.g., a tactile output indicating absence of a deep operation). In some embodiments, the tactile output of the second type is distinct (832) from the tactile output of the first type. In some embodiments, the tactile output of the second type is identical to the tactile output of the first type.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second input and in accordance with the determination that the second input satisfies the second activation criteria (e.g., a deep press), the device forgoes (834) performing the first display operation, the second display operation, and the third display operation. For example, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, the tactile output of the second type (e.g., a tactile output indicating absence of a deep operation) has less salience (836) than salience of the tactile output of the first type (e.g., a tactile output for a deep operation).
In some embodiments, the user interface includes (838) a third region that is not configured to initiate any display operation in response to an input (associated with the third region) that satisfies first activation criteria and is not configured to initiate any display operation in response to an input (associated with the third region) that satisfies second activation criteria distinct from the first activation criteria (e.g., the third region is not responsive to inputs that satisfy the first activation criteria or the second activation criteria). Furthermore, in some embodiments, the device detects (840) a third input that includes a contact detected on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the contact included in the first input is associated with the third region of the user interface.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the third input, and in accordance with a determination that the third input satisfies the first activation criteria (e.g., a light press), the device generates (842) a tactile output of the third type (e.g., a tactile output indicating a light press). For example, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the third input, and in accordance with a determination that the third input satisfies the second activation criteria (e.g., a deep press), the device generates (844) a tactile output of the second type (e.g., a tactile output indicating absence of a deep operation). For example, as illustrated in
Thus, in some embodiments, the tactile output associated with a light press input is the same everywhere, while a tactile output associated with a deep press input is different depending on whether the portion of the user interface corresponding to the deep press input is configured to respond to the deep press input (e.g., so as to provide the user with an indication of which user interface elements are responsive to a deep press input and which user interface elements are not responsive to the deep press input).
In some embodiments, the device detects (846) an occurrence of a predefined event associated with the second region while the second region is not configured to initiate any display operation in response to an input (associated with the second region) that satisfies the second activation criteria (e.g., a deep press). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the occurrence of the predefined event, the device configures (848) the second region to initiate a fourth display operation in response to an input that satisfies the second activation criteria.
In some embodiments, while the second region is configured to initiate the fourth display operation in response to an input that satisfies the second activation criteria, the device detects (850) a fourth input that includes a contact detected on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the contact included in the third input is associated with the second region of the user interface. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the fourth input, and in accordance with a determination that the fourth input satisfies the third activation criteria (e.g., a light press), the device performs (852) the third display operation. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the fourth input, and in accordance with a determination that the fourth input satisfies the second activation criteria (e.g., a deep press), the device performs (854) the fourth display operation and concurrently generates a tactile output of the first type (e.g., a tactile output for a deep operation) while performing the second display operation.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first input and in accordance with a determination that the first input does not satisfy the first activation criteria and does not satisfy the second activation criteria, the device forgoes (856) generating any tactile output, and in response to detecting the second input, in accordance with a determination that the second input does not satisfy the first activation criteria and does not satisfy the second activation criteria, the device forgoes (858) generating any tactile output.
In some embodiments, the user interface is generated (860) by a first application running on the device (e.g., a user facing application such as the user interface generating portion of an operating system, a file browser, a web browser, a mail application, etc.) and the determination as to whether to provide the first tactile output or the second tactile output when the second set of activation criteria are satisfied is made by a second application running on the device (e.g., firmware that controls a tactile output mechanism) that is distinct from the first application.
It should be understood that the particular order in which the operations in
As described below, the method 900 provides an intuitive way to configure tactile outputs and activation criteria. The method reduces the number, extent, and/or nature of the inputs from a user when configuring tactile outputs and activation criteria, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to configure tactile outputs and activation criteria faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The device is configured to provide (902) a first tactile output (e.g., a light press tactile output) in response to detecting that first activation criteria have been met (e.g., light press activation criteria), the first activation criteria including a criterion that is met when an intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface increases above a first intensity threshold (e.g., selection of draggable object 5004-6 in response to intensity between ITL and ITD, as shown in
The device displays (906), on the display, a settings user interface (e.g., the user interface illustrated in
While displaying the settings user interface, the device detects (908) an input for a first control object of the one or more control objects (e.g., an input for a single, combined contact intensity/tactile output setting control). In some embodiments, the first control object is (910) a discrete control object that corresponds to a particular setting. For example, a check box that corresponds to a high, medium or low intensity/output setting (e.g., control objects 5088 in
In accordance with the detected input for the first control object, the device changes (914) the second intensity threshold (e.g., increasing or decreasing a magnitude of the second intensity threshold), and changes (916) the second tactile output (e.g., increasing or decreasing a magnitude, duration, frequency, salience, and/or other output characteristic of the second tactile output). In some embodiments, the second intensity threshold and the second tactile output are changed in response to detecting the input for the first control object. In some embodiments, the second intensity threshold and the second tactile output are changed as soon as the input for the first control object is detected. In some embodiments, the second intensity threshold and the second tactile output are changed by activating an “accept changes,” “set,” “exit,” or other similar icon in the settings user interface.
In some embodiments, in accordance with the detected input for the first control object, the device changes (918) the first intensity threshold (e.g., increasing or decreasing a magnitude of the first intensity threshold). In some embodiments, the magnitude of the first intensity threshold is changed in a same way and/or amount as the magnitude of the second intensity threshold (e.g., the first intensity threshold and the second intensity threshold are both increased by 15% or are both decreased by 15%, depending on the change in the setting indicated by the detected user input on the first control object). In some embodiments, the first intensity threshold is changed in response to detecting the input for the first control object. In some embodiments, the first intensity threshold is changed as soon as the input for the first control object is detected. In some embodiments, the first intensity threshold is changed by activating an “accept changes,” “set,” “exit,” or other similar icon in the settings user interface.
In some embodiments, in accordance with the detected input for the first control object, the device changes (920) the first tactile output (e.g., increasing or decreasing a magnitude, duration, frequency, salience, and/or other output characteristic of the first tactile output). In some embodiments, the characteristics of the first tactile output are changed in a same way and/or amount as the characteristics of the second tactile output (e.g., the amplitude of the first tactile output and the second tactile output are both increased by 15% or are both decreased by 15%, depending on the change in the setting indicated by the detected user input on the first control object). In some embodiments, the first tactile output is changed in response to detecting the input for the first control object. In some embodiments, the first tactile output is changed as soon as the input for the first control object is detected. In some embodiments, the first tactile output is changed by activating an “accept changes,” “set,” “exit,” or other similar icon in the settings user interface.
In some embodiments, in addition to the first tactile output and the second tactile output, the device is configured to provide other tactile outputs in response to detecting events associated with movement of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., providing tactile output “detents” in response to detecting movement on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to movement of a cursor on the display along a slider or over a boundary in a displayed user interface). Furthermore, in accordance with the detected input for the first control object, the device changes (922) the other tactile outputs (e.g., increasing or decreasing a magnitude, duration, frequency, salience, and/or other output characteristic of the other tactile outputs that the device is configured to provide). In some embodiments, the characteristics of the first tactile output, the second tactile output and the other tactile outputs are all changed in the same manner (e.g., all are increased in amplitude by 15% or all are decreased in amplitude by 15%, depending on the setting selected by the user with the input on the first control object). In some embodiments, the other tactile outputs are changed in response to detecting the input for the first control object. In some embodiments, the other tactile outputs are changed as soon as the input for the first control object is detected. In some embodiments, the other tactile outputs are by activating an “accept changes,” “set,” “exit,” or other similar icon in the settings user interface.
In some embodiments, the first intensity threshold is lower than the second intensity threshold. Thus, in some embodiments, the intensity of a new contact detected on the touch-sensitive surface will have to pass through the first intensity threshold to reach the second intensity threshold. Furthermore, the second activation criteria includes a time-based criterion that is dependent upon a time at which the first activation criteria is met, and in accordance with the detected input for the first control object, the device changes (924) the time-based criterion. In some embodiments, the device increases the length of a delay time period (e.g., the delay time between the time when the first activation criteria are met and the time when the second intensity threshold is met). In some embodiments, the device decreases the length of a delay time. In some embodiments, when the second intensity threshold is increased, a delay time in the time-based criterion is lengthened, and the duration, amplitude, and/or salience of the second tactile output are increased. In some embodiments, when the second intensity threshold is decreased, a delay time in the time-based criterion is shortened, and the duration, amplitude, and/or salience of the second tactile output are decreased. In some embodiments, the device has a reduced-sensitivity time period after the first activation criteria are met, during which the second intensity threshold is temporarily increased, and this reduced-sensitivity time period is increased or decreased in accordance with the detected input for the first control object. In some embodiments, the time-based criterion is changed in response to detecting the input for the first control object. In some embodiments, the time-based criterion is changed as soon as the input for the first control object is detected. In some embodiments, the time-based criterion is changed by activating an “accept changes,” “set,” “exit,” or other similar icon in the settings user interface.
In some embodiments, the time-based criterion includes a delay time period that occurs after the time at which the first activation criteria were met, and the time-based criterion is met (926) after the delay time period has elapsed. In some embodiments, the time-based criterion is met upon completion of the delay time period. For example, during the delay time period, the second activation criteria are not met, even if an intensity of the contact is above the second intensity threshold, to prevent accidental activation of the second tactile output.
In some embodiments, the second activation criteria include (928) a criterion that is met when the intensity of the contact increases by more than a predefined amount (e.g., and/or increases above the second intensity threshold) after the delay time period has elapsed. For example, in order to meet the second activation criteria, after the delay time period, the user has to increase the intensity of the contact by pressing harder.
In some embodiments, the second activation criteria include (930) a criterion that is met when the intensity of the contact increases from an intensity below the second intensity threshold to an intensity above the second intensity threshold after the delay time period has elapsed. For example, in order to meet the second activation criteria, if the contact intensity is already above the second intensity threshold at the end of the delay time period, the user has to back off and press again by reducing the intensity of their contact below the second intensity threshold and then increasing the intensity of their contact above the second intensity threshold.
In some embodiments, the time-based criterion includes (936,
In some embodiments, the time-based criterion includes (938) an intensity offset for a user that is determined based on multiple separate inputs (e.g., inputs that are not continuous extensions of one another) on the touch-sensitive surface by the user. For example, as explained above with respect to
In some embodiments, the intensity offset for the user is determined (940) based on one or more of: peak intensities of a first predefined number of separate click inputs on the touch-sensitive surface by the user (e.g., peak intensities of clicks made by the user), and peak intensities of a second predefined number of separate drag inputs on the touch-sensitive surface by the user (e.g., peak intensities during drag inputs made by the user). For example, peak intensities of the prior 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90 click inputs by the user, and/or peak intensities during the prior 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90 drag inputs by the user are used to determine the intensity offset for the user in some embodiments. In some embodiments, peak intensities of click inputs that satisfy the first intensity threshold and that do not satisfy the second intensity threshold are used for determining the intensity offset for the user (e.g., peak intensities of click inputs that satisfy the second intensity threshold are excluded).

In some embodiments, the first predefined number is the same as the second predefined number. In some embodiments, the first predefined number is distinct from the second predefined number.
In some embodiments, the peak intensities of prior click inputs by the user are compared to a reference intensity of a click input (e.g., an average or median intensity of click inputs made by multiple users) to determine the intensity offset for the user. In some embodiments, the peak intensities of prior drag inputs by the user are compared to a reference intensity of a drag input (e.g., an average or median intensity of drag inputs made by multiple users) to determine the intensity offset for the user. In some embodiments, the reference intensity of a click input and/or the reference intensity of a drag input are/is adjusted based on the user input on the settings user interface. For example, when a low deep press intensity is selected (e.g., from the settings user interface illustrated in
