Abstract
A method (100) and electronic device (700) for presenting user actuation targets (1101,1102,1103) on a touch sensitive display (701) includes a controller (805) configured to determine a user actuation target arrangement (1500) having a hierarchy of precedence (1501). A display driver (809) is then configured to present the user actuation targets (1101,1102,1103) on the touch sensitive display (701) in accordance with the user actuation target arrangement (1500). This can include presenting user actuation targets (1201,1202) having a higher precedence closer to a user'"'"'s finger (1206) than user actuation targets (1203,1204) having a lower precedence, or by magnifying user actuation targets (1201,1202) having a higher precedence. Precedence can be determined by most frequently selected targets, most recently selected targets, or other factors.

8. A computer-readable medium in an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a processor and a touch sensitive display for presenting information to a user, the computer-readable medium including instructions for a method, when executed by the processor, to present a menu to the user on the touch sensitive display, the instructions comprising:
-
determining an amount of pressure being exerted upon the touch sensitive display by the user; and presenting the menu on the touch sensitive display in response to the amount of pressure being exerted on the touch sensitive display; wherein when the amount of pressure is within a first pressure range the presenting comprises presenting a first menu on the touch sensitive display; and wherein when the amount of pressure is within a second pressure range, the second pressure range comprising pressures greater than in the first pressure range, the presenting comprises presenting a second menu on the touch sensitive display. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a touch sensitive display for presenting information to a user; a controller, operable with the touch sensitive display, and configured to receive user actuation input from the touch sensitive display; a memory operatively coupled to the controller; and a display driver, operable with the controller and configured to present a menu on the touch sensitive display; wherein the controller is configured to construct a user actuation history by storing at least some display user actuation target selections in the memory, and in response to the user actuating the touch sensitive display, to determine a user actuation target precedence hierarchy from the user actuation history; and wherein, in response to the user actuating the touch sensitive display, the display driver is configured to present a plurality of user actuation targets on the touch sensitive display in accordance with the user actuation target precedence hierarchy. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
