This relates generally to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces, including but not limited to electronic devices with sensors to detect intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surfaces.
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 manipulate user interface objects on a display.
Exemplary manipulations include adjusting the position and/or size of one or more user interface objects or activating buttons or opening files/applications represented by user interface objects, as well as associating metadata with one or more user interface objects or otherwise manipulating user interfaces. Exemplary user interface objects include digital images, video, text, icons, control elements such as buttons and other graphics. A user will, in some circumstances, need to perform such manipulations on user interface objects in a file management program (e.g., Finder from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.), an image management application (e.g., Aperture, iPhoto, Photos from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.), a digital content (e.g., videos and music) management application (e.g., iTunes from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.), a drawing application, a presentation application (e.g., Keynote from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.), a word processing application (e.g., Pages from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.), a website creation application (e.g., iWeb from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.), a disk authoring application (e.g., iDVD from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.), or a spreadsheet application (e.g., Numbers from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.).
But existing methods for processing these manipulations are cumbersome and inefficient. In addition, existing methods take longer than necessary, thereby wasting energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices.
Accordingly, the present disclosure provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods for processing touch inputs. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace conventional methods for processing touch inputs. Such methods and interfaces provide a more efficient human-machine interface by allowing customized processing of touch inputs. Further, such methods reduce the processing power consumed to process touch inputs, conserve power, reduce unnecessary/extraneous/repetitive inputs, and potentially reduce memory usage. For battery-operated devices, such methods and interfaces conserve battery 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. Alternatively, or in addition, executable instructions for performing these functions are, optionally, included in a 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 store applications to allow certain manipulations of displayed user interface objects in response to touch inputs. However, conventional methods and user interfaces are inefficient. The disclosed embodiments address these limitations and disadvantages.
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, Calif. 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.
Touch-sensitive display system 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic/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 some embodiments, 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 some embodiments, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.
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 touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output.

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 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 and/or stylus 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.
Position module 131, in conjunction with accelerometers 167, gyroscopes 168, and/or magnetometers 169, optionally detects positional information concerning the device, such as the device's attitude (roll, pitch, and/or yaw) in a particular frame of reference. Position module 130 includes software components for performing various operations related to detecting the position of the device and detecting changes to the position of the device. In some embodiments, position module 131 uses information received from a stylus being used with the device to detect positional information concerning the stylus, such as detecting the positional state of the stylus relative to the device and detecting changes to the positional state of the stylus.
Graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on touch-sensitive display system 112 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed.

In some embodiments, graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is, optionally, assigned a corresponding code. Graphics module 132 receives, from applications etc., one or more codes specifying graphics to be displayed along with, if necessary, coordinate data and other graphic property data, and then generates screen image data to output to display controller 156.
Haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions (e.g., instructions used by haptic feedback controller 161) to produce tactile outputs using tactile output generator(s) 163 at one or more locations on device 100 in response to user interactions with device 100.
Text input module 134, which is, optionally, a component of graphics module 132, provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts 137, e-mail 140, IM 141, browser 147, and any other application that needs text input).

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) 167, gyroscope(s) 168, magnetometer(s) 169, 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.
As used herein, a force event refers to a device-generated signal or device-generated data (e.g., a signal or a data object generated or updated by device 100) to indicate status or a change in status of a touch input, such as beginning (e.g., satisfying a minimum force intensity threshold), changing intensity (e.g., increasing or decreasing intensity of the touch input), or changing intensity status (e.g., hard press to exceed an intensity threshold or release the touch input so that the intensity falls below the intensity threshold) of the touch input. Although force events are associated with physical touches (e.g., touches with a finger and/or a stylus) on the touch-sensitive surface, the force events, as described herein, are distinct from the physical touches.
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.
As described above with respect to
In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 generates (or updates) an event object and sends an event object to one or more applications (e.g., application 136-1, such as e-mail client module 140 in
In
In some embodiments, event object 194 is sent directly to the destination (e.g., a software component, such as application core 1 (230-1)). Optionally, event object 194 is sent through application programming interface 222. In some embodiments, event object 194 is sent by posting event object 194 (e.g., in queue 218-1) for retrieval by application core 1 (230-1).
In some embodiments, event object 194 includes force information. In some embodiments, a mouse event object includes force information (e.g., raw or normalized force applied by the touch input). In some embodiments, a touch event object includes force information. In some embodiments, a force event object includes force information.
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 163 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 100.
Each of the above identified elements in
In some embodiments, the term “tactile output,” discussed above, refers to physical displacement of an accessory (e.g., stylus 203) of a device (e.g., device 100) relative to a previous position of the accessory, physical displacement of a component of an accessory relative to another component of the accessory, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the accessory that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the accessory or the component of the accessory 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 accessory or the component of the accessory. For example, movement of a component (e.g., the housing of stylus 203) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as a “click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the stylus that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. 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., a “click,”), 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.
It should be appreciated that stylus 203 is only one example of an electronic stylus, and that stylus 203 optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components shown in
Memory 402 optionally includes high-speed random access memory and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. Access to memory 402 by other components of stylus 203, such as CPU(s) 420 and the peripherals interface 418, is, optionally, controlled by memory controller 422.
Peripherals interface 418 can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the stylus to CPU(s) 420 and memory 402. The one or more processors 420 run or execute various software programs and/or sets of instructions stored in memory 402 to perform various functions for stylus 203 and to process data.
In some embodiments, peripherals interface 418, CPU(s) 420, and memory controller 422 are, optionally, implemented on a single chip, such as chip 404. In some other embodiments, they are, optionally, implemented on separate chips.
RF (radio frequency) circuitry 408 receives and sends RF signals, also called electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry 408 converts electrical signals to/from electromagnetic signals and communicates with device 100 or 300, communications networks, and/or other communications devices via the electromagnetic signals.

I/O subsystem 406 couples input/output peripherals on stylus 203, such as other input or control devices 416, with peripherals interface 418. I/O subsystem 406 optionally includes optical sensor controller 458, intensity sensor controller 459, haptic feedback controller 461, and one or more input controllers 460 for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers 460 receive/send electrical signals from/to other input or control devices 416.

In some alternate embodiments, input controller(s) 460 are, optionally, coupled with any (or none) of the following: an infrared port and/or a USB port.
Stylus 203 also includes power system 462 for powering the various components. Power system 462 optionally includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)) and any other components associated with the generation, management and distribution of power in portable devices and/or portable accessories.

In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 402 include operating system 426, communication module (or set of instructions) 428, contact/motion module (or set of instructions) 430, position module (or set of instructions) 431, and Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions) 435. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 402 stores device/global internal state 457, as shown in
Operating system 426 (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, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components.
Communication module 428 optionally facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 424 and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry 408 and/or external port 424. External port 424 (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 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, Calif.
Contact/motion module 430 optionally detects contact with stylus 203 and other touch-sensitive devices of stylus 203 (e.g., buttons or other touch-sensitive components of stylus 203). Contact/motion module 430 includes software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact (e.g., detection of a tip of the stylus with a touch-sensitive display, such as touch screen 112 of device 100, or with another surface, such as a desk surface), such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a touch-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 (e.g., across touch screen 112 of device 100), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a lift-off event or a break in contact). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 430 receives contact data from I/O subsystem 406. 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. As noted above, in some embodiments, one or more of these operations related to detection of contact are performed by the device using contact/motion module 130 (in addition to or in place of the stylus using contact/motion module 430).
Contact/motion module 430 optionally detects a gesture input by stylus 203. Different gestures with stylus 203 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 single tap gesture includes detecting a touch-down event followed by detecting a lift-off event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the touch-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a swipe gesture includes detecting a touch-down event followed by detecting one or more stylus-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a lift-off event. As noted above, in some embodiments, gesture detection is performed by the device using contact/motion module 130 (in addition to or in place of the stylus using contact/motion module 430).
Position module 431, in conjunction with accelerometers 467, gyroscopes 468, and/or magnetometers 469, optionally detects positional information concerning the stylus, such as the stylus's attitude (roll, pitch, and/or yaw) in a particular frame of reference. Position module 431, in conjunction with accelerometers 467, gyroscopes 468, and/or magnetometers 469, optionally detects stylus movement gestures, such as flicks, taps, and rolls of the stylus. Position module 431 includes software components for performing various operations related to detecting the position of the stylus and detecting changes to the position of the stylus in a particular frame of reference. In some embodiments, position module 431 detects the positional state of the stylus relative to the device and detects changes to the positional state of the stylus relative to the device. As noted above, in some embodiments, device 100 or 300 determines the positional state of the stylus relative to the device and changes to the positional state of the stylus using position module 131 (in addition to or in place of the stylus using position module 431).
Haptic feedback module 433 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator(s) 463 to produce tactile outputs at one or more locations on stylus 203 in response to user interactions with stylus 203.
GPS module 435 determines the location of the stylus and provides this information for use in various applications (e.g., to applications that provide location-based services such as an application to find missing devices and/or accessories).
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 402 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 402 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.
Further,
In some embodiments, an indication (e.g., indication 516) is displayed on a touch-sensitive display (e.g., touch screen 112 of device 100). In some embodiments, indication 516 shows where the stylus will touch (or mark) the touch-sensitive display before the stylus touches the touch-sensitive display. In some embodiments, indication 516 is a portion of a mark that is being drawn on the touch-sensitive display. In some embodiments, indication 516 is separate from a mark that is being drawn on the touch-sensitive display and corresponds to a virtual “pen tip” or other element that indicates where a mark will be drawn on the touch-sensitive display.
In some embodiments, indication 516 is displayed in accordance with the positional state of stylus 203. For example, in some circumstances, indication 516 is displaced from (x,y) position 504 (as shown in
Further,
Although the terms, “x axis,” “y axis,” and “z axis,” are used herein to illustrate certain directions in particular figures, it will be understood that these terms do not refer to absolute directions. In other words, an “x axis” could be any respective axis, and a “y axis” could be a particular axis that is distinct from the x axis. Typically, the x axis is perpendicular to the y axis. Similarly, a “z axis” is distinct from the “x axis” and the “y axis,” and is typically perpendicular to both the “x axis” and the “y axis.”
Further,
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 stylus input).
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 and/or 430 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 embodiments, 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 intensity 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 (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 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 inputs, the intensity of a contact exceeding a second intensity threshold during the input, greater than the first intensity threshold (e.g., 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 triggering of the second response. As another example, for some 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 triggering of the second response. For other inputs, the second response 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.
An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the intensity threshold IL to an intensity between the intensity threshold IL and the intensity threshold IM is sometimes referred to as a “light press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the intensity threshold IM to an intensity above the intensity threshold IM is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input. In some embodiments, an increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the intensity threshold IH to an intensity above the intensity threshold IH is also called a “deep press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below a contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold and the intensity threshold IL 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 to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold 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 low intensity threshold being met and a high 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 intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface.
As shown in user input intensity graph 702, the intensity (also called contract intensity) of the user input is initially below the first intensity threshold IL.
In some embodiments, intensity profile 7110 also corresponds to a tap gesture, even though the user input remains on the touch sensitive surface for the first predefined time period, because the user input never exceeds the first intensity threshold IL. However, in some other embodiments, a user input having intensity profile 7110 is construed as a non-event that does not cause performance of any operation.
Optionally, when the reveal gesture recognizer transitions to the Began state, focus selector 705 is displayed, or provided for display, with a different appearance than when the reveal gesture recognizer is in the Possible state.
In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the intensity of the user input satisfies intensity input criteria for the reveal gesture recognizer (R), an internal event 7004 is generated, indicating that the intensity of the user input satisfies intensity input criteria for the reveal gesture recognizer (R). That event is provided to the reveal gesture recognizer (R), which transitions to the Began state in response to the event. Event 7004 optionally includes a progress indicator, graphically represented in

Preview area 712 continues to include a preview of information corresponding to the user interface object 708 over which the focus selector 705 is positioned.

In some embodiments, in conjunction with displaying preview area 712 (e.g., in response to displaying preview area 712), a (new) second pan gesture recognizer is initiated for preview area 712. Thus, in such embodiments, although the pan gesture recognizer (S) is in the Failed state, preview area 712 responds to a pan gesture (e.g., preview area 712 is moved across display 650 in accordance with the pan gesture, using the second pan gesture recognizer, independent of mail application user interface 706 such that mail application user interface 706 remains stationary while preview area 712 is moved across display 650, which is different from the scroll operation associated with the pan gesture recognizer (S) as shown in
Furthermore, in some embodiments, as shown in
Despite the continuation of the input through the first predefined time period, the long press gesture recognizer (L) remains in the failed state. Further, in this example, the reveal gesture recognizer (R) remains in the Changed state, the preview gesture recognizer (P) transitions to the Changed state, and the commit gesture recognizer (C) remains in the Possible state. In some embodiments, the reason that the long press gesture recognizer (L) remains in the Failed state is that once a gesture recognizer transitions to the Failed state, it cannot transition to any other state, such as the Recognized state or Began State, until the user input ceases (i.e., until the user lifts their finger or stylus or other instrument off the touch-sensitive surface).
Further, as shown in
In
Event object 194 includes characteristic intensity 7206 that is based on detected intensity 7204. In some embodiments, event object 1904 also includes reference intensity 7208. For example, in some embodiments, characteristic intensity 7206 is a normalized intensity value that corresponds to detected intensity 7204 divided by reference intensity 7208. In some embodiments, reference intensity 7208 corresponds to a maximum intensity that can be detected by the one or more intensity sensors. In some embodiments, reference intensity 7208 is a predefined intensity level for normalizing detected intensity 7204. Characteristic intensity 7206 typically has a range between 0 and 1. Because application-specific module 230 receives characteristic intensity 7206 instead of detected intensity 7204, application-specific module 230 is configured to receive and respond to intensity information that is independent from variations among intensity sensors. Thus, application-specific module 230 does not need to include instructions for handling variations among intensity sensors, and therefore, the size of the application-specific module 230 is reduced, and the performance of the application-specific module 230 is improved.
In some embodiments, when sensitivity 7210 is set, characteristic intensity 7206 is multiplied by sensitivity value 7210. In some embodiments, sensitivity 7210 has a default value of 1. However, for example, when sensitivity 7210 has a value of 2, characteristic intensity 7206 is doubled.

An input that follows intensity pattern 7128 satisfies both the first timing criteria (because the input remains on at least for a time period ending at time 7124) and the first intensity input criteria (because intensity of the input increases and satisfies the intensity threshold IL after time 7124). Thus, the first predefined operation (e.g., dimming or blurring at least a portion of the user interface to provide a hint of an impending display of a preview window) is performed when intensity of the input satisfies the intensity threshold IL.
An input that follows intensity pattern 7130 does not satisfy the first intensity input criteria, because intensity of the input does not satisfy the intensity threshold IL at any time. Although the first timing criteria are satisfied (because the input remains on the touch-sensitive surface at least for a period ending at time 7124), the first predefined operation (e.g., dimming or blurring at least a portion of the user interface to provide a hint of an impending display of a preview window) is not performed.
For an input that follows intensity pattern 7131 or intensity pattern 7132, although its input satisfies the intensity threshold IL, the input does not satisfy the first intensity input criteria, because intensity of the input does not satisfy the intensity threshold IL at or subsequent to time 7124. The first timing criteria are not satisfied, because the input does not remain on the touch-sensitive surface at least for a period ending at time 7124. Thus, the first predefined operation (e.g., dimming or blurring at least a portion of the user interface to provide a hint of an impending display of a preview window) is not performed.
In some embodiments, because the input following intensity pattern 7132 is released before time 7134, a different operation (e.g., a tap gesture operation) is performed if the different operation is associated with user interface object 708. However, the input following intensity pattern 7131 is released after time 7134, the tap gesture operation is not performed in response to the input following intensity pattern 7131. In some embodiments, time 7134 corresponds to time 7002 shown in
User input intensity graph 702 in
An input that follows intensity pattern 7128 satisfies both the second timing criteria (because the input remains on the touch-sensitive surface at least for a time period ending at time 7136) and the second intensity input criteria (because intensity of the input increases and satisfies the intensity threshold IM after time 7136). Thus, the second predefined operation (e.g., displaying preview window 712) is performed when intensity of the input satisfies the intensity threshold IM.
An input that follows intensity pattern 7138 satisfies both the second timing criteria (because the input remains on the touch-sensitive surface at least for a time period ending at time 7136) and the second intensity input criteria (because the input satisfies the intensity threshold IM at time 7136). Thus, the second predefined operation (e.g., displaying a preview window 712) is performed at time 7136.
However, an input that follows intensity pattern 7140 does not satisfy the second intensity input criteria, because the input does not satisfy the intensity threshold IM at any time. Although the input satisfies the second timing criteria (e.g., the input remains on the touch-sensitive surface for a time period ending at time 7136), because the second intensity input criteria are not satisfied, the second predefined operation (e.g., displaying a preview window 712) is not performed.
An input that follows intensity pattern 7142 does not satisfy the second intensity input criteria. Although intensity of the input temporarily satisfies the intensity threshold IM, the intensity of the input decreases below the intensity threshold IM before time 7136. Because the input does not satisfy the intensity threshold IM at time 7136 or thereafter, the second intensity input criteria are not satisfied. Although the input satisfies the second timing criteria (e.g., the input remains on the touch-sensitive surface for a time period ending at time 7136), because the second intensity input criteria are not satisfied, the second predefined operation (e.g., displaying a preview window 712) is not performed.

In some embodiments, the reference intensity IR is determined by using a representative intensity (e.g., a peak intensity) of the input and an intensity margin Imargin. For example, the reference intensity corresponds to the intensity margin Imargin below the representative intensity (e.g., the peak intensity) of the input.

An input following intensity pattern 7158 (e.g., a short strong tap gesture) does not satisfy first intensity threshold component 7154, because the intensity of the input quickly drops and the input is released before first intensity threshold component 7154 begins to decay.
In some embodiments, first intensity threshold component 7154 begins to decay immediately from an initial detection of the input. In some embodiments, first intensity threshold component 7154 begins to decay after a predefined time interval p3 from the initial detection of the input, as shown in
User input intensity graph 702 in
FIG. 7AAA illustrates activation intensity threshold 7180, which decays over time, while input 7178 satisfies the intensity threshold IM (and the second predefined operation is performed). The intensity of input 7178 decreases below the intensity threshold IM and IL, which in some embodiments does not undo the second predefined operation. Because activation intensity threshold 7180 has decayed significantly over time, an increase in the intensity of input 7178 satisfies activation intensity threshold 7180 at time 7179, even though activation intensity threshold 7180 is below the intensity threshold IM.
FIG. 7BBB shows the same activation intensity threshold 7180 and input 7178 shown in FIG. 7AAA. FIG. 7BBB also shows that activation intensity threshold 7180 does not fall below baseline threshold 7182, which reduces unintentional triggering of the predefined operation (e.g., replacing display of mail application user interface 706 with browser application user interface 710).
As described below, method 800 provides an enhanced way to process touch inputs with instructions. Method 800 improves efficiency in processing touch inputs.
The device displays (802) a first user interface. While displaying the first user interface, the device detects (804) an input on the touch-sensitive surface. Examples of the first user interface and responses to the input on the touch-sensitive surface are described above with reference to
In response to detecting the input (808) while displaying the first user interface, the device performs (810) a first operation (e.g., blurring a user interface, as shown in
In some embodiments, the intensity input criteria include (840) that the input (while remaining in contact with the touch-sensitive surface) does not move across the touch-sensitive surface by more than a predefined distance (e.g., as discussed above with reference to input movement limit perimeter 714 in
In some embodiments, method 800 includes, in accordance with a determination that the input does not satisfy the intensity input criteria and does not satisfy the long press criteria, forgoing (814) the first operation and the second operation.
In some embodiments, detecting (804) the input on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting (806, 850) a first portion of the input and a second portion of the input that is subsequent to the first portion of the input. Furthermore, in some such embodiments, method 800 includes, in response (852) to detecting the first portion of the input on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting an initial contact of the input with the touch-sensitive surface), identifying a first set of gesture recognizers that correspond to at least the first portion of the input as candidate gesture recognizers, the first set of gesture recognizers including a first gesture recognizer (e.g., a preview gesture recognizer) and a second gesture recognizer (e.g., a long press gesture recognizer).
Further, in the aforementioned embodiments, in response to detecting the second portion of the input on the touch-sensitive surface, the device performs (854) the first operation, including processing the input with the first gesture recognizer (e.g., the preview gesture recognizer) in accordance with the determination that the input satisfies the intensity input criteria. In some embodiments, the first intensity threshold (e.g., IM in
Further, in the aforementioned embodiments, in response to detecting the second portion of the input on the touch-sensitive surface, the device performs (854) the second operation, including processing the input with the second gesture recognizer (e.g., with the long press gesture recognizer (L),
As indicated above, in some embodiments the first gesture recognizer (e.g., the preview gesture recognizer) is an intensity-based gesture recognizer and the second gesture recognizer is a long press gesture recognizer (860). In some embodiments, the second gesture recognizer (e.g., the long press gesture recognizer) recognizes a particular type or set of gestures independent of intensity of the input.
In some embodiments or circumstances, the input includes (862) a third portion of the input that is subsequent to the second portion of the input, and method 800 includes processing the third portion of the input with the first gesture recognizer. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the input ceases to satisfy the first intensity threshold, the device displays the preview area at a reduced scale (e.g., reduces the size of the preview area), an example of which is shown in the transition from the user interface of
In some embodiments, the first set of gesture recognizers includes (864) a third gesture recognizer, such as a reveal gesture recognizer (e.g., gesture recognizer (R) in
In some embodiments, in response to determining that the input satisfies (866) a second intensity threshold (e.g., a commit intensity threshold IH that is higher than the first intensity threshold IM), the method includes, subsequent to performing the first operation, processing the input with the first gesture recognizer, including replacing display of the first user interface (e.g., user interface 706,
In some embodiments, the first set of gesture recognizers includes (868) a fourth gesture recognizer (e.g., a commit gesture recognizer (C), as shown in
In some embodiments, method 800 includes detecting (872) a second input on the touch-sensitive surface, including detecting a first portion of the second input and a second portion of the second input that is subsequent to the first portion of the second input. For example, this may occur while the device is displaying the first user interface or a third user interface that is distinct from the first user interface and the second user interface.
In response to detecting (872) the first portion of the second input on the touch-sensitive surface, the method includes identifying (874) a second set of gesture recognizers that correspond to at least the first portion of the second input, the second set of gesture recognizers including the second gesture recognizer (e.g., the long press gesture recognizer) without the first gesture recognizer (e.g., the preview gesture recognizer). For example, the second input may be positioned over an object for which the first gesture recognizer is not relevant.
Furthermore, in some embodiments, method 800 includes, in response to detecting (876) the second portion of the second input on the touch-sensitive surface, in accordance with a determination that the second input satisfies second long press criteria including that the second input remains on the touch-sensitive surface for a second predefined time period that has a different duration from the first predefined time period (e.g., a longer duration or a shorter duration than the first predefined time period), processing the second input with the second gesture recognizer. For example, in a first user interface in which there is an intensity-based gesture recognizer and a long press gesture recognizer for a same respective object or region, the intensity-based gesture recognizer is given more time to recognize an intensity-based gesture by increasing the delay before the long press gesture recognizer recognizes a long press gesture. In contrast, in a third user interface in which there is an object or user interface region that has a tap/select gesture recognizer and a long press gesture recognizer without an intensity-based gesture recognizer, the tap/select gesture recognizer does not need as much time to recognize a tap/select gesture and thus the delay (i.e., the second predefined time period) before the long press gesture recognizer in third user interface recognizes a long press gesture can be shorter than the delay (i.e., the first predefined time period) required by the long press gesture recognizer for the first user interface before recognizing a long press gesture.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first portion of the input, the device performs (880) a third operation. In some embodiments, performing the third operation includes visually distinguishing (882) at least a portion of the first user interface from other portions of the first user interface. For example, the third operation may be blurring the user interface other than an object corresponding to a focus selector, by using a third gesture recognizer (e.g., a reveal gesture recognizer), as shown in
In some embodiments, method 800 includes performing (884) the first operation (e.g., displaying the preview area) subsequent to performing (880) the third operation (e.g., the blurring) in accordance with the determination that the input satisfies the intensity input criteria (e.g., by reaching or exceeding IM), and performing (886) the second operation (e.g., displaying a menu or menu view, 716,
As mentioned above, in some embodiments, performing the first operation includes (820) displaying a preview area (e.g., preview area 712,
In some embodiments, the first intensity threshold is satisfied (822) in response to multiple contacts in the input satisfying the first intensity threshold. For example, in some such embodiments, an intensity of each contact is compared with the first intensity threshold. However, in some other embodiments, the first intensity threshold is satisfied (824) in response to a combination of the intensity applied by a plurality of contacts in the input satisfying the first intensity threshold (e.g., the intensity of multiple contacts is summed or otherwise combined and the resulting combined intensity is compared with the first intensity threshold).
In some embodiments, the first intensity threshold is adjustable (826). For example, in some such embodiments, method 800 includes updating (828) the first gesture recognizer to be activated in response to the intensity of the input satisfying a third intensity threshold that is distinct from the first intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the first intensity threshold is selected from a group of three or more predefined intensity thresholds (e.g., a reveal intensity threshold IL, a preview intensity threshold IM, and a commit intensity threshold IH). In some embodiments, the third intensity threshold is selected from the group of three or more predefined intensity thresholds.
In some embodiments, the first intensity threshold is selected independent of any predefined intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the first user interface is a user interface of a particular software application, and the first intensity threshold is selected or specified by the particular software application. In some embodiments, the first intensity threshold is a fixed intensity threshold that does not change while the contact is detected on the touch-sensitive surface. However, in some other embodiments, the first intensity threshold is a dynamic intensity threshold that changes over time based on predefined threshold-adjustment policies based on the activity of the user, and/or the condition of the device, and/or other environmental parameters. Adjustable intensity thresholds are discussed in more detail elsewhere in this document.

In some embodiments, method 900 includes, subsequent to performance of the first operation, forgoing (914) performance of the second operation. Similarly, in some embodiments, method 900 includes, subsequent to performance of the second operation, forgoing (916) performance of the first operation.
In some embodiments, detecting (904) the input on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting (906, 950) a first portion of the input and a second portion of the input that is subsequent to the first portion of the input. Furthermore, in some such embodiments, method 900 includes, in response (952) to detecting the first portion of the input on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting an initial contact of the input with the touch-sensitive surface), identifying a first set of gesture recognizers that correspond to at least the first portion of the input as candidate gesture recognizers, the first set of gesture recognizers including a first gesture recognizer (e.g., a preview gesture recognizer) and a second gesture recognizer (e.g., a pan gesture recognizer).
In some embodiments or circumstances, the first user interface includes a plurality of user interface objects, the input is detected while a focus selector is over a first user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects, and the first user interface object is associated with at least the first gesture recognizer and the second gesture recognizer. Further, in some embodiments, processing the input with the first gesture recognizer includes placing the second gesture recognizer in a failed state.

As indicated above, in some embodiments the first gesture recognizer (e.g., the preview gesture recognizer) is an intensity-based gesture recognizer and the second gesture recognizer is a pan gesture recognizer (960).
