Patent ID: 10007418

Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments, a method is performed at an electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, one or more sensors capable of detecting intensity of one or more contacts with the touch-sensitive surface, one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, on the display, an interface object associated with a plurality of contact-intensity-dependent interface responses corresponding to a plurality of contact intensity level values and receiving a sequence of one or more inputs that includes detecting a contact on the touch-sensitive surface associated with a location of the interface object and detecting an intensity of the contact. In response to receiving the sequence of one or more inputs, the method includes, in accordance with a determination that a first mode is enabled, determining a contact intensity level value for the contact based on the detected intensity of the contact and, in accordance with a determination that a second mode is enabled, determining a contact intensity level value for the contact that is independent of the detected intensity of the contact. After determining the contact intensity level value for the contact, the method includes providing the determined contact intensity level value together with information indicative of the detected contact on the touch-sensitive surface in order to enable generation of a respective contact-intensity-dependent interface response of the plurality of contact-intensity-dependent interface responses selected based on the determined contact intensity level value.
