Abstract
The simulation of touch pressure on a touch-sensitive display is disclosed. In one disclosed embodiment, a touch pressure is simulated on a touch-sensitive display by detecting inputs corresponding to each of an untouched display and two or more measures of touch pressure, and displaying images on the display corresponding to the untouched display and each measure of touch pressure. In this manner, a user may be provided with a richer visual response to a touch-sensitive display input.

11. A display device, comprising:
-
a display; an input device configured to detect a change in a proximity of an object to the display and a change in a touch pressure of an object on the display; and a controller configured to receive a plurality of inputs from the input device and to simulate a change in a virtual pressure exerted on an image displayed on the display by changing the image in response to a detected change in the proximity of the object to the display. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A device, comprising:
-
a display; a plurality of image capture devices positioned to optically monitor a surface of the display and a volume of space adjacent to the surface of the display; and a controller configured to receive image data from the plurality of image capture devices, to calculate a distance from the display of an object detected by the plurality of image capture devices, and to change an image displayed on the display based upon the distance of the object from the display. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
