Pressure-based touch screen system, method, and computer program product with virtual display layers
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions and a plurality of applications;
a touch screen; and
one or more processors in communication with the at least one non-transitory memory and the touch screen, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to;
display an object and at least a portion of an interface;
detect a gesture via the touch screen on the object;
perform a first function in a first touch state;
perform a second function in a second touch state; and
during detection of at least a portion of the gesture and based on a change in a pressure of the gesture being detected via the touch screen on the object, blur the at least portion of the interface.

Abstract
Apparatuses and a computer-readable media are provided to: display an object and at least a portion of an interface in a same virtual display layer; detect a single static gesture being applied to the touch screen on the object, the single static gesture varying in pressure between a plurality of discrete touch states; perform a first pressure-dependent step-wise function in response to a first change in the discrete touch states; perform a second pressure-dependent step-wise function in response to a second change in the discrete touch states; and during at least a portion of the gesture and as a function of an increase in a magnitude of the pressure of the gesture being applied to the touch screen on the object, continuously blur the at least portion of the interface such that the at least portion of the interface and the object are displayed in different virtual display layers.

18. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions and a plurality of applications; a touch screen; a vibrator; and one or more processors in communication with the at least one non-transitory memory, the touch screen, and the vibrator, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to; display a first object and at least one other object; detect a gesture via the touch screen on the first object; perform a first action in a first touch state; perform a second action in a second touch state; and during detection of at least a portion of the gesture between the first and second touch states and before a cessation of the gesture is detected, blur, based on a pressure of the gesture being detected via the touch screen on the first object, at least a portion of a virtual display layer in which the at least one other object resides. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a mobile device, cause the mobile device to:
-
display an object and at least one other object; detect a gesture on a touch screen on the object, the gesture varying in pressure; and during detection of at least a portion of the gesture before a cessation thereof is detected, blur, based on a change in the pressure of the gesture being detected on the touch screen on the object, the at least one other object. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60)

61. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions and a plurality of applications; a touch screen; a vibrator; and one or more processors in communication with the at least one non-transitory memory, the touch screen, and the vibrator, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to; display a first object and at least one other object; detect a gesture on the touch screen on the first object; during detection of at least a portion of the gesture before a completion thereof is detected, blur, based on a change in a pressure of the gesture being detected on the touch screen on the first object, at least a portion of the at least one other object; and after the blurring, vibrate the apparatus and perform an action. - View Dependent Claims (62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68)
