METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANIPULATING A DISPLAYED IMAGE
First Claim
1. A method for manipulating an image displayed on a display of an electronic device using a touch sensitive input modality that has a capability of sensing touch position and touch pressure, comprising:
- panning the image in a direction that is determined in response to a detection of a first stroke of the input modality performed using an amount of touch pressure that meets a first pressure criterion, while the electronic device is in a pan mode;
changing between the pan mode and a zoom mode in response to a touch pressure of the input modality that meets a second pressure criterion; and
zooming the image in response to a second stroke of the input modality, wherein the stroke is performed using an amount of touch pressure that meets a third pressure criterion, while the electronic device is in the zoom mode.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus are for manipulating an image displayed on a display of an electronic device (100). Functions that are used include panning the image in a direction that is determined in response to a detection of a first stroke (125, 410, 610) of a touch and pressure sensitive input modality (105) which is performed using an amount of touch pressure that meets a first pressure criterion, while the electronic device is in a pan mode; changing between the pan mode and a zoom mode in response to a touch pressure of the input modality that meets a second pressure criterion; and zooming the image in response to a second stroke (130, 415, 615) of the input modality, wherein the stroke is performed using an amount of touch pressure that meets a third pressure criterion, while the electronic device is in the zoom mode.

11. An electronic device, comprising:
-
an input-output modality that comprises a display that displays an image, and a touch input modality that has a capability of sensing a touch position and a touch pressure; and a processing system for manipulating the image in response to the touch position and pressure, comprising a pan control function that pans the image in a direction that is determined in response to a detection of a first stroke of the input modality performed using an amount of touch pressure that meets a first pressure criterion, while the electronic device is in a pan mode, a mode control function that changes an input mode between the pan mode and a zoom mode in response to a touch pressure of the touch input modality that meets a second pressure criterion and a zoom control function that zooms the image in response to a second stroke of the input modality generally in one of an opposing first and second direction, wherein the stroke is performed using an amount of touch pressure that meets a third pressure criterion, while the electronic device is in the zoom mode. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
