Embodiment Construction

[0048] The methods, devices, and GUIs described herein provide visual and / or tactile feedback that makes manipulation of user interface objects more efficient and intuitive for users. For example, in systems where the click action of the trackpad is decoupled from the contact intensity (e.g., contact force, contact pressure, or a substitute thereof) required to reach an activation threshold, the device may generate different haptic outputs for different activation events (e.g., "different clicks") (eg, such that a click that achieves a specific result is distinguished from a click that produces no result or achieves a different result than the specific result). In addition, haptic output may be generated in response to other events unrelated to increased intensity of contact, such as when a user interface object moves to a particular location, boundary, or orientation, or when an event occurs at the device (e.g., "Stop").

[0049] Additionally, in systems where the trackpad o...

Abstract

An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, and one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface displays a user interface object having a plurality of activation states; detects a contact on the touch-sensitive surface; and detects an increase of intensity of the contact from a first intensity to a second intensity. In response to detecting the increase in intensity, the device: changes activation states M times, and generates a tactile output on the touch-sensitive surface corresponding to each change in activation state. The device detects a decrease of intensity of the contact from the second intensity to the first intensity; and in response to detecting the decrease in intensity, the device: changes activation states N times, and generates a tactile output on the touch-sensitive surface corresponding to each change in activation state, where N is different from M.
