Abstract
The present invention provides a solution for controlling user interface control of an electronic device. According to an embodiment of the invention, information is displayed on a display unit of the electronic device, and the scrolling of the displayed information is initiated by detecting a physical deviation in a position of the electronic device. The scrolling speed is controlled according to the strength of the measured pressure focusing on the electronic device.
