Claim 19:
20. A method comprising:
determining, based on an indication of a position of a contact on a touchscreen, a distance of the contact from a sensor included in the touchscreen;
based on determining that the distance of the contact from the sensor is less than or equal to a first distance and equal to or greater than a second distance, providing haptic feedback as a function of the distance of the contact from the sensor; and
based on determining that the distance of the contact from the sensor is less than the second distance, decreasing the haptic feedback, wherein:
determining the distance of the contact from the sensor comprises determining whether the contact is located in a first zone on the touchscreen or a second zone on the touchscreen, the first zone at least partially overlapping a fingerprint sensor included in the touchscreen, the second zone surrounding the first zone; and
the haptic feedback is provided at a first haptic feedback level when the contact is in the first zone and at a second haptic feedback level when the contact is in the second zone, the second haptic feedback level being greater than the first haptic feedback level.
