This disclosure relates generally to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces, and in particular to cursor manipulation and content selection in an electronic document.
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 touch pads and touch screen displays. Such surfaces are widely used to review and edit electronic documents by manipulating a cursor within the electronic document presented on a display. These electronic documents are viewed or edited within applications having viewing and editing capabilities (e.g., drawing applications, presentation applications (e.g., Apple's KEYNOTE, or Microsoft's POWERPOINT), word processing applications (e.g., Apple's PAGES or Microsoft's WORD), website creation applications, spreadsheet applications (e.g., Apple's NUMBERS or Microsoft's EXCEL)).
Conventional cursor manipulation methods that require the use of a mouse, or other peripheral input mechanism, are relatively inefficient as they require the user to move one hand away from the keyboard to the mouse in order to make the selection. Similarly, conventional user interfaces provided on touch screen displays do not provide a simple and intuitive way to manipulate the cursor for content selection and editing. As such, it is desirable to provide a more efficient means for manipulating a cursor displayed in an electronic document presented on a touch screen display.
Accordingly, there is a need for electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for cursor manipulation and content (e.g., text) selection. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace conventional methods for cursor manipulation and content selection. 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, a more efficient input mechanism also requires less computing resources, thereby increasing battery life of the device.
In order to manipulate a cursor in a document on a conventional portable multifunction device, users often need to make finger contact with precise locations on a touch sensitive screen at the location of the cursor. This is often difficult and the user cannot see the precise location of the cursor under their finger.
The above deficiencies and other problems associated with user interfaces for electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces are addressed by the devices and methods described herein. The methods described herein allow a user manipulate a cursor and perform editing functions, such as text selection and moving a selection, from any part of the touch-sensitive surface. For example, a two-finger touch input can be detected anywhere on the touch screen, including over the keyboard. Users can greatly benefit from this for at least two reasons. First, the multi-finger gesture detection can be distinguished from a single-finger detection (e.g., single-finger taps), so that a single-finger contact or gesture at the keyboard can be reserved for other functions, e.g., text entry. Second, it allows for a more efficient user input because the user does not have to consider where the cursor gestures are being made (e.g., the user need not be concerned about inadvertent key activation) and can instead focus on the movement of the cursor.
In some embodiments, the device is portable (e.g., a notebook computer, tablet computer, or handheld device), while in other embodiments, the device is a desktop computer. The device has a touch-sensitive display (also known as a “touch screen” or “touch screen display”), and in some embodiments it also includes a touchpad.
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 touch inputs, including finger contacts and gestures, on the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the functions optionally include image reviewing, editing, drawing, presenting, word processing, website creation, authoring disks, spreadsheet creation or editing, playing games, using a telephone on the device, video-conferencing, e-mailing, instant messaging, digital photography or videography, web browsing, playing digital music or video, note taking, or the like. 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.

Thus, electronic devices with displays, touch-sensitive surfaces are provided with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for cursor manipulation, thereby increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction with such devices. Such methods and interfaces may complement or replace conventional methods for cursor manipulation.
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.
Described below are devices and methods that allow a user to efficiently manipulate a cursor in an electronic document. The methods are particularly useful on portable devices with small displays, including handheld or pocket-sized devices (e.g., smartphones). When using conventional portable devices, a user may find it difficult to precisely place her finger (or make contact) at the cursor location on the touch screen display, as the cursor is often small, hidden under the user's finger, and/or disposed between text or graphics. As such, users often need to lift their finger and reposition it multiple times until the cursor is placed at the correct location. This conventional process is time consuming, inefficient, and alienates users. The methods described herein allow a user to manipulate and place a cursor at a desired location within an electronic document, as well as perform certain editing functions, such as text selection or moving text. In some embodiments, this cursor (or selected text) manipulation can be controlled from any part of the touch-sensitive surface, not just the location of the cursor. These methods greatly reduce the number of steps that a user need perform to navigate and edit a document, thereby increasing efficiency and ease of use when performing these tasks.
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 present invention. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention 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. may be 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 present invention. The first contact and the second contact are both contacts, but they are not the same contact.
The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the description of the invention 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 “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” may be 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” may be 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 computing devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the computing 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, IPAD, and IPOD TOUCH devices from Apple Computer, Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.
In the discussion that follows, a computing device that includes a touch-sensitive display is described. It should be understood, however, that the computing device may include one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a separate display, physical keyboard, a mouse, and/or a joystick.
The device 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 fitness application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, a digital video player application, and/or a home automation application.
The various applications that may be executed on the device may 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 may be 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 may support the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent.
The user interfaces may include one or more soft keyboard embodiments. The soft keyboard embodiments may include standard (QWERTY) and/or non-standard configurations of symbols on the displayed icons of the keyboard, such as those described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/459,606, “Keyboards For Portable Electronic Devices,” filed Jul. 24, 2006, and Ser. No. 11/459,615, “Touch Screen Keyboards For Portable Electronic Devices,” filed Jul. 24, 2006, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. The keyboard embodiments may include a reduced number of icons (or soft keys) relative to the number of keys in existing physical keyboards, such as that for a typewriter. This may make it easier for users to select one or more icons in the keyboard, and thus, one or more corresponding symbols. The keyboard embodiments may be adaptive. For example, displayed icons may be modified in accordance with user actions, such as selecting one or more icons and/or one or more corresponding symbols. One or more applications on the device may utilize common and/or different keyboard embodiments. Thus, the keyboard embodiment used may be tailored to at least some of the applications. In some embodiments, one or more keyboard embodiments may be tailored to a respective user. For example, one or more keyboard embodiments may be tailored to a respective user based on a word usage history (lexicography, slang, individual usage) of the respective user. Some of the keyboard embodiments may be adjusted to reduce a probability of a user error when selecting one or more icons, and thus one or more symbols, when using the soft keyboard embodiments.
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.

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, 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 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.
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. As used herein, the term “graphics” includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including without limitation text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations and the like.
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.

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 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state stored in the memory 102 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 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 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 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 may 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 may be called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs may be 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 (e.g., 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 may utilize or call 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 may 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 may also include 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 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 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 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 may 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 and music player module 152. 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, e.g., coordinating mouse movement and mouse button presses with or without single or multiple keyboard presses or holds, user movements 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, which may be 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.
Although many of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (where the touch sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown 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 swipe 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 swipe (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 or touch-sensitive surface 251 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 optionally include various intensity diagrams that show the current intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface relative to one or more intensity thresholds (e.g., a contact detection intensity threshold IT0, a light press intensity threshold ITL, a deep press intensity threshold ITD (e.g., that is at least initially higher than IL), and/or one or more other intensity thresholds (e.g., an intensity threshold Ix that is lower than IL)). This intensity diagram is typically not part of the displayed user interface, but is provided to aid in the interpretation of the figures. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations that are different from operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensity below the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold IT0 below which the contact is no longer detected), the device will move a focus selector in accordance with movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface figures.
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 processes and associated user interfaces (“UI”) that may be implemented on an electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and optionally one or more sensors to detect intensities of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface, such as the portable multifunction device 100.
In some embodiments, the device 100 displays content of an electronic document on the touch screen display 112. In some embodiments, the content comprises text (e.g., plain text, unstructured text, formatted text, or text in a web page). In other embodiments, the content comprises graphics with or without text. Moreover, the content may be editable or read-only. In addition to displaying the content, when no content is selected, the device 100 may display a cursor within the electronic document, e.g., for text entry. In some embodiments, while displaying the content of the electronic document, the device 100 detects two substantially simultaneous touch inputs at 402. These two substantially simultaneous touch inputs can occur and be detected anywhere on the screen, including over an active virtual keyboard being displayed on the screen.
In some embodiments, the device 100 continuously monitors touch inputs and continuous movements of the touch inputs on the touch screen 112. Once touch inputs are detected by the device 100, the device 100 determines whether the two substantially simultaneous touch inputs are located on a soft keyboard on the touch screen at 406. In response to detecting the two substantially simultaneous touch inputs that started on the soft keyboard (406—Yes), the device 100 displays a soft keyboard that has a changed appearance at 404. In some embodiments, the device continuously monitors the touch inputs at step 406 so that the appearance of the keyboard remains changed when the two substantially simultaneous touch inputs that started on the soft keyboard are followed by a continuous movement of the two substantially simultaneous touch inputs without breaking contact with the touch screen 112. In other words, the device at step 406 detects whether there were two substantially simultaneous inputs on the soft keyboard either with or without a subsequent continuous movement off the keyboard. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the two substantially simultaneous touch inputs where not initially detected on the soft keyboard (406—No), the device 100 displays a soft keyboard with an unchanged appearance at 408, e.g., displays a regular unblurred soft keyboard or a keyboard with all alphanumeric characters displayed. A soft keyboard is a set of multiple virtual keys displayed on the screen, e.g., a QWERTY keyboard, as shown in
In
As shown in
In some embodiments, instead of displaying the blurred soft keyboard, the device changes one or more of: color, hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast of the soft keyboard 521 based on the content of the electronic document. In some embodiments, the appearance of the blurred keyboard 521 is based on the content displayed and a set of control-appearance values for blur radius, saturation adjustment, opacity of a white overlay, opacity of a black overlay, opacity of user interface elements in keyboard 521, and/or the color of text displayed in the region where the keyboard 521 is displayed. For example, in
As shown in
Referring back to
Depending on the type of the touch input received, the device 100 performs different actions. As shown in
For example, if the type of touch input is a drag and the touch input is not located on a selection, then the device 100 moves the cursor and displays a ghost cursor at 421.
While document 500 is displayed in a document editing mode, keyboard 521 is also displayed. A user may enter text into document 500 by typing on keyboard 521, and confirm completion of editing of document 500 by performing a touch input (e.g., a tap on “done” button 512) to exit an editing mode.
In some embodiments, the device 100 detects two substantially simultaneous touch inputs at a first region 524-1, 524-2 on the touch screen display 112. The device 100 can further determine that the two substantially simultaneous touch inputs remain in contact with the touch screen display 112, and detect a continuous touch gesture or drag gesture from a location of the two substantially simultaneous touch inputs across the touch screen display from the first region 524-1, 524-2 to a second region 524-3, 524-3. In response to detecting the continuous touch gesture, the device 100 moves the cursor or insertion point marker 522-1 across document 500 from the current location 522-1 in
In another embodiment, instead of moving the cursor while dragging two-fingers (e.g., a two-finger slide gesture), the ghost cursor 522-2 moves but not the actual cursor. In some embodiments, a distance between the first region 524-1, 524-2 and the second region 524-3, 524-4 of the touch inputs in
The above examples as shown in
For example, as shown in
In some embodiments, in addition to the selection indicators 526-530, the device 100 displays a command display area adjacent to the selected content 528 as shown in
Referring back to
For example, prior to detecting touch inputs, the device 100 detects an existing selection of a portion of the content and displays the selection. The selection is highlighted, and the device 100 displays markers, such as a start-point object and an end-point object at respective ends of the selection. After displaying a soft keyboard that has a changed appearance in response to detecting two substantially simultaneous touch inputs on the soft keyboard, the device 100 detects a continuous movement of the two substantially simultaneous touch inputs from a first location on the soft keyboard to a second location anywhere on the touch screen display (e.g., within the boundaries of the soft keyboard or beyond the soft keyboard and onto the content region) without breaking contact with the touch screen display. In response to detecting the continuous movement that started on the soft keyboard outside the selected content, the device expands the selected content to include additional content beyond the portion in a direction towards the second location in response to detecting the continuous movement.
In some embodiments, when expanding the selected content, the selection can expand either backward or forward. The initial direction of the drag gesture determines the direction of the expansion. For example, a right and/or down continuous movement moves the end-point object right and/or down without moving the start-point object in order to expand the selection forward; while a left and/or up drag gesture moves the start-point object 530 left and/or up without moving the end-point object in order to expand the selection backward. In some embodiments, the selection expands one word at a time if the continuous movement is fast, and expands one character at a time if the continuous movement is slow.
In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the touch inputs are not on the selection (415—No) (e.g., outside the selection) and determines at 419 that the touch inputs are a drag gesture, the device 100 dismisses the selection and moves the cursor in a direction of the drag gesture.
For example, in
The above examples as shown in
Similarly, if the device 100 determines at 415 that the touch inputs are not on the selection (415—No) (e.g., outside the selection), and determines at 419 that the touch input is a flick gesture (also known as a “swipe” gesture), then the selection is again dismissed and the cursor is moved to the distal point of the text at 445.
For example, as shown in
Though

For example, in
Subsequently, while displaying the content of the document 500, and when there is no existing selection (411—No of
In some embodiments, a word is selected if the cursor 522 is within the word (e.g., the word “score” in
It should be noted that in
The above examples as shown in
On the other hand, if the device 100 determines at 415 that the touch inputs are not on the selection (415—No) (e.g., outside the selection) and determines at 419 that the touch inputs are a tap, then the device 100 determines whether the selected content is one word at 466. In accordance with a determination that the selected content is one word (466—Yes), the device 100 expands the selected content to include a sentence containing the word at 467. On the other hand, in accordance with a determination that the selected content is more than a word, the device 100 displays a cursor at the beginning or end of the selection and dismisses the selection at 468. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the tap is not on the selection, the device 100 dismisses the selection and selects the closest word to the contact point of the tap.
In other embodiments, after selecting the closest word to the cursor, the device 100 can further detect a two-finger double-tap (e.g., tapping twice with two fingers), a two-finger triple-tap (e.g., tapping three times with two fingers), or a two-finger quadruple-tap (e.g., tapping four times with two fingers). In response to detecting a two-finger double-tap, two-finger triple-tap, or two-finger quadruple-tap, the device 100 expands the selection to a sentence or a line at 460, to a paragraph at 462, or to the document at 464, respectively. In some embodiments, the selection expansion operation is only operable to paragraph level. For example, in response to a two-finger quadruple-tap, the device 100 keeps the paragraph selected without further expanding the selection to the entire document at 464. In some embodiments, device 100 determines if there is a multi-tap and expands the selection if the duration between each subsequent tap is less than a predetermined threshold (e.g., 0.66 seconds).
In some embodiments, if the device 100 determines two substantially simultaneous touch inputs that are located outside an existing selection (415—No) (e.g., on a soft keyboard) and the type of touch inputs is a tap (down), followed by a lift-off (up), followed by another tap (down), and without lift-off, a drag (419—Tap−∓half∓Tdrag), the device 100 at step 465 first dismisses the selection, then performs actions similar to those performed at step 471 in

If the device 100 detects an existing selection (411—Yes), and further determines that the touch inputs are located on an existing selection (415—Yes), and then determines at 417 that the inputs are a hold and drag, then the device 100 moves the selection at 451. In some embodiments, the selected text remains in place with only a cursor moving, and only once the user releases contact with the touch screen surface (e.g., a lift-off event) is the selected text moved to the position of the cursor at the time of the lift-off or release. In other embodiments, the selection is dragged around the document and placed at the position of the selection (or a cursor) at the time of contact release or lift off. In yet another embodiment, a ghost copy of the selection is dragged around the document, while the original selection remains in place, and only placed at the position of the selection (or a cursor) at the time of contact release or lift off.
If the touch inputs are not located on an existing selection (e.g., outside an existing selection) (415—No), the device 100 determines the type of selection at 419, and if the type is a hold and drag 453, expands the existing selection in the direction of the drag gesture at 453. Here, the expanded selection includes the original selection and any expanded portion of the document.
As mentioned above, in some embodiments, instead of moving the selection 528-1, a ghost selection 528 is displayed in response to the detection of the two-finger dragging. As shown in
In some embodiments, the ghost selection 528-2 appears at location of the current position of the selection 528-1 as soon as the device 100 detects the two-finger dragging, and the start-point object 526-1 and the end-point object 530-1 can animate to attract the users attention to the appearance of the ghost selection 528-2. While dragging, the ghost selection 528-2 moves in the direction of the two-finger movement to indicate the position to where the selection will be moved when the user lifts or releases the contact (e.g., at the lift-off event). The ghost selection 528-2 may include a ghost start-point object 526-2 and a ghost end-point object 530-2. Both the ghost start point object 526-2 and the ghost end-point object 530-2 may have different appearances from the start point object 526-1 and the end-point object 530-1. On release of the two-finger drag, the selection moves to the location of the ghost selection 528-2. At release of the contacts, the device 100 ceases the display of the ghost selection 528-2 along with the ghost markers 526-2 and 530-2 as shown in

In some embodiments, the device 100 displays content of an electronic document on the touch screen display 112. In some embodiments, the content comprises text (e.g., plain text, unstructured text, formatted text, or text in a web page). In other embodiments, the content comprises graphics with or without text. Moreover, the content may be editable or read-only. In addition to displaying the content, when no content is selected, the device 100 may display a cursor within the electronic document. In some embodiments, while displaying the content of the electronic document, the device 100 detects a single-finger touch input (e.g., a single-finger tap) at 472. The portable multifunction device 100 then determines whether prior to detecting the touch input, there is an existing selection of the content at 474.
If the device 100 detects an existing selection (474—Yes), then the device 100 further determines if the single-finger touch input is located on the selection at 475. If the device 100 determines that the single-finger touch input is not located on the selection (475—No), then device 100 dismisses the selection at 476 and proceeds to step 480. On the other hand, if the device 100 determines that the single-finger touch input is located on the selection (475—Yes), the device 100 determines the type of the touch input at 477.
If the device 100 determines the type of single-finger touch input is tap (down), lift (up), tap (down), and a drag (477—Tap−∓half∓drag), the device 100 at 487 first dismisses the selection, then performs actions similar to those performed at step 471, such as selecting a word closest to the touch input and expanding the selection while dragging. If the device 100 determines the type of single-finger touch input is a tap (477—Tap), then the device 100 can perform one of three different options depending on embodiment.
In some embodiments, one of the options (Tap Option 3, 489) is to do-nothing, such that the device 100 does not respond to the single-finger tap in accordance with a determination that the tap is located on a selection (e.g., a selected word). In some embodiment, another option includes dismissing the selection at 485 (Tap Option 1) and performing additional actions (e.g., steps 481-484 in

As used herein, a hold and drag gesture is a stationary (or substantially stationary) pressing gesture by a single-finger at a location in the content displayed on the touch screen immediately followed by a drag. For example, a single-finger contact that moves less than a predefined amount (e.g., 1-2 mm) in a predefined time (e.g., 0.2-0.5 seconds) immediately followed by a drag is a hold and drag gesture. In response to recognizing the hold and drag gesture, as shown in
Although not shown in
As mentioned above, in some embodiments, instead of moving the selection 528-1, a ghost selection 528 is displayed in response to the detection of the single-finger dragging. As shown in
In some embodiments, the ghost selection 528-2 appears at location of the current position of the selection 528-1 as soon as the device 100 detects the single-finger dragging, and the start-point object 526-1 and the end-point object 530-1 can animate to attract the users attention to the appearance of the ghost selection 528-2. While dragging, the ghost selection 528-2 moves in the direction of the single-finger movement to indicate the position to where the selection will be moved when the user lifts or releases the contact (e.g., at the lift-off event). The ghost selection 528-2 may include a ghost start-point object 526-2 and a ghost end-point object 530-2. Both the ghost start point object 526-2 and the ghost end-point object 530-2 may have different appearances from the start point object 526-1 and the end-point object 530-1. On release of the single-finger drag, the selection moves to the location of the ghost selection 528-2. At release of the contacts, the device 100 ceases the display of the ghost selection 528-2 along with the ghost markers 526-2 and 530-2 as shown in

In some embodiments, similar to scrolling in response to a drag gesture, the device 100 scrolls the content displayed in the content region in response to a swipe gesture in accordance with the direction of the swipe. For example, an upward swipe scrolls the content upward, a downward swipe scrolls the content downward, a left swipe scrolls the content to the left, and likewise, a right swipe scrolls the content to the right.
In response to the tap∓half∓drag gesture, the device 100 selects the word closest to the starting location 524-1 (e.g., selecting the word “nation”), then expands the selection to include additional content beyond the selected word in the direction 532 towards the second location 524-2. The end of the selected portion of the content 530 is increased as the finger contact moves forward through text on the touch screen 112, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, the start-point object 526 and the end-point object 530 are displayed moving while the finger is dragging to indicate the expanding selection 528. The selection 528 expands one word at a time if the finger drags fast, and expands one character at a time if the finger drags slow. Though not shown in

In some embodiments, the device 100 can alternatively move the selected content in response to detecting three substantially simultaneous touch inputs, e.g., a three-finger touch input.
Similar to the illustration in
It should be noted that the three substantially simultaneous touch inputs can be located anywhere on the touch screen display 112. For example, a user can touch the touch screen display 112 with three fingers close together or three fingers spread out. Regardless the three touch inputs locations on the touch screen display 112, the device 100 can detect the three substantially simultaneous touch inputs and perform actions such as moving a selection in response to detecting a drag of the three-fingers following the initial three substantially simultaneous touch inputs.
It should also be noted that different from the single-finger hold and drag of a selection as illustrated in
For example,
In some embodiments, the device 100 further detects the three-finger touch input remains motionless on the touch screen display for a predetermined duration followed by a continuous drag gesture (e.g., start dragging within 0.5 or 0.75 seconds after remaining motionless) from the location of the three-finger touch input in a direction 532 across the touch screen display from the first region 524-1 to a second region 524-2. In other embodiments, a delay (e.g., the predetermined duration, is not required for moving the selection.
In response to detecting the continuous touch movement, the device 100 moves the selection 528-1 across document 500 to a new location 528-2 as shown in
As mentioned above, in some embodiments, instead of moving the selection 528-1, a ghost selection 528 is displayed in response to the detection of the single-finger dragging. As shown in
In some embodiments, the ghost selection 528-2 appears at location of the current position of the selection 528-1 as soon as the device 100 detects the three-finger dragging, and the start-point object 526-1 and the end-point object 530-1 can be animated to attract the user's attention to the appearance of the ghost selection 528-2. While dragging, the ghost selection 528-2 moves in the direction of the three-finger movement to indicate the position to where the selection will be moved when the user lifts or releases the contact (e.g., at the lift-off event). The ghost selection 528-2 may include a ghost start-point object 526-2 and a ghost end-point object 530-2. Both the ghost start point object 526-2 and the ghost end-point object 530-2 may have different appearances from the start point object 526-1 and the end-point object 530-1. On release of the three-finger drag, the selection moves to the location of the ghost selection 528-2. At release of the contacts, the device 100 ceases the display of the ghost selection 528-2 along with the ghost markers 526-2 and 530-2 as shown in

In some embodiments, the criteria for selecting the first predetermined unit of the text includes a criterion that is met when the second increase in characteristic intensity of the contact above the predefined intensity threshold (e.g., ITD) occurs within a predetermined time period after the first increase in characteristic intensity of the contact above the predefined intensity threshold (e.g., ITD, the double press is a quick double press to trigger selection of the first predetermined unit of text input). For example, when the duration between time T4 and T5 is less than a threshold, the criteria for selecting the first predetermined unit of text are met.
In some embodiments, instead of just two increases in the characteristic intensity of the contact above the predefined intensity threshold (e.g., ITD), three such increases are detected and used to trigger selection of a second predetermined unit of text input (e.g., a quick triple press triggers selection of a sentence, whereas a quick double press triggers selection of a word).

In some embodiments, the text selection indicator is a cursor (e.g., cursor 922) that moves within editable content (
The device detects (1106) a first press input by the contact followed by movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to movement of at least a portion of the text selection indicator from the first location to a second location on the display (e.g., moving a cursor to the second location on the display or moving an edge of a selection box to the second location on the display, where the edge of the selection box corresponds to one end of the selected content). In some embodiments, the device detects the first press input and the subsequent movement by detecting an increase in intensity of the contact above a predetermined intensity threshold (e.g., a deep press intensity threshold ITD), followed by detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity that remains above a predetermined minimum intensity value (e.g., a light press intensity threshold or a contact detection threshold). For example, as shown in
In response to detecting the first press input by the contact followed by movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface, the device selects (1110) content between the first location and the second location (e.g., selecting content for an editing operation, such as copying). In some embodiments, the selected content (e.g., editable text or read-only text) is enclosed by a highlighted area (e.g., area 928 in
While the content between the first location and the second location is selected (e.g., after moving at least the portion of the text selection indicator to the second location), the device detects (1112) a second press input by the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. For example, as shown in
In response to detecting the second press input by the contact on the touch-sensitive surface, the device performs (1114) a text selection operation, associated with the content between the first location and the second location, in accordance with the second press input. In some embodiments, the contact in the first press input, the movement across the touch-sensitive surface, and the second press input is a single continuous contact with the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., contact 924, contact 925, or contact 927).
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first press input by the contact followed by movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface: the device displays (1116) at least the portion of the text selection indicator at the second location within the content. For example, the device displays a cursor at the second location on the display (
In some embodiments, the text selection operation includes (1118) stopping selection of content at the second location and maintaining selection of the content between the first location and the second location (e.g.,
In some embodiments, after detecting the second press input and while the content between the first location and the second location remains selected, the device detects (1120) lift-off of the contact, and in response to detecting the lift-off of the contact, the device displays an action menu. For example, after detecting the second press input at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to the second location on the display (e.g., in the middle of the word “under”), the device detects lift-off of the contact from that location on the touch-sensitive surface without detecting further movement of the contact. In response, the device displays an action menu bar 940 or other area that shows actions that can be performed on the selected portion of the text input (e.g., copying, defining, cutting, pasting, etc.) for the selected content between the first location and the second location.
In some embodiments, after detecting the second press input by the contact on the touch-sensitive surface and stopping the selection of the content at the second location, the device detects (1124) further movement of the contact. In response to detecting the further movement of the contact, the device displays at least a portion of the text selection indicator at a third location within the content. For example, in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the further movement of the contact, the device cancels (1126) selection of content between the first location and the second location without selecting content between the second location and the third location (
In some embodiments, the text selection operation includes (1128) cancelling selection of content between the first location and the second location (
In some embodiments, after detecting the second press input by the contact on the touch-sensitive surface and canceling the selection of content between the first location and the second location, the device detects (1130) further movement of the contact. In response to detecting the further movement of the contact, the device selects content between the second location and a third location (
In some embodiments, while the content between the second location and the third location is selected, the device detects (1132) lift-off of the contact (e.g., without detecting further movement of the contact). In response to detecting the lift-off of the contact while the content between the second location and the third location is selected, the device stops selection of the content at the third location and maintains selection of the content between the second location and the third location (as shown in
In some embodiments, before displaying the text selection indicator at the first location within the content, the device detects (1134) an initial press input by the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the initial press input, the device displays the text selection indicator at an initial location within the content that corresponds to a location of the initial press input on the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the initial press input is (1136) detected at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location of the content on the display. When the initial press input is detected at a location that corresponds to the first location within the content, the text selection indicator (e.g. the cursor 922) is displayed at the first location within the content. If the initial press input is detected at a location that does not correspond to the first location within the content, the text selection indicator is displayed at the first location within the content when the contact, after making the initial press input, moves to a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to the first location. For example, for a “first location” of position marker 945 in
In some embodiments, the display is a touch-sensitive display that includes the touch-sensitive surface, and the device concurrently displays (1138), on the touch-sensitive display, the content and an onscreen keyboard. In some embodiments, the initial press input is detected on the onscreen keyboard (
In some embodiments, the display is a touch-sensitive display that includes the touch-sensitive surface, and the device concurrently displays (1140), on the touch-sensitive display, the content and an onscreen keyboard. Before displaying the text selection indicator at the first location within the content, the device detects (1142) a multi-contact drag input (e.g., a two-finger drag input as shown in
In some embodiments, the content includes (1144) editable content and the text selection indicator includes a cursor (
In some embodiments, the content includes (1150) read-only content and the text selection indicator includes a selection area (e.g., a rectangular selection box 929,
In some embodiments, the device foregoes (1156) performing the text selection operation, in response to detecting the second press input, in accordance with a determination that the second press input is accompanied by simultaneous movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface. For example, the text selection operation is not performed when the device detects the second press input accompanied by simultaneous movement of the contact. In other words, movement cancels the operation that is typically triggered by the second press input.
In some embodiments, when the text is editable text, the text selection indicator is a cursor and selecting content between the first location and the second location includes (1158) expanding the selection character-by-character in accordance with movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface (

In some embodiments, entering the text into the content region 1302 includes entering a character that corresponds to character key at a location at which touchdown of the contact was detected on the onscreen keyboard. For example, touchdown of the finger contact 1324 was detected on the character key “h”. In response to detecting the touchdown, character “h” is entered. In some embodiments, entering the text into the content region includes entering a character that corresponds to character key at a location at which liftoff of the contact was detected on the onscreen keyboard. For example, in response to liftoff of the finger contact 1324 from character key “h”, character “h” is entered.

In some embodiments, the press input is a stationary press input such that there is less than a threshold amount of movement between when touchdown of the finger contact 1324 is detected on the onscreen keyboard 1321 and when the increase in the characteristic intensity of the contact over the text selection intensity threshold ITD is detected. In some embodiments, if more than the threshold amount of movement is detected, upon liftoff, a character entry operation is performed based on which character entry key the contact is over when liftoff of the contact is detected.
