ENHANCED USER INTERFACE FOR PRESSURE SENSITIVE TOUCH SCREEN
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- displaying a user interface on a pressure sensitive touch screen display device of an electronic device, the user interface including a plurality of contact areas;
receiving a first touch input data on a first contact area, the first touch input data including force data;
determining a second contact area as a function of the first touch input data and the first contact area, the second contact area being indicative of a prediction for a second, subsequent touch input data;
determining whether to provide a predictive visual indicator as a function of familiarity data, the familiarity data being indicative of whether a user is familiar with a layout of the user interface; and
displaying at least one predictive visual indicator that corresponds to the second contact area in response to the prediction.

Abstract
A device and method provides predictive visual indicators. The method includes displaying a user interface on a pressure sensitive touch screen display device of an electronic device. The user interface includes a plurality of contact areas. The method includes receiving a first touch input data on a first contact area. The first touch input data includes force data. The method also includes determining a second contact area as a function of the first touch input data and the first contact area. The second contact area is indicative of a prediction for a second, subsequent touch input data. The method includes displaying at least one predictive visual indicator that corresponds to the second contact area in response to the prediction.

11. A device, comprising:
-
a processor configured to execute an application; a memory arrangement storing data related to the application; a pressure sensitive touch screen display device configured to display a user interface including a plurality of contact areas for the application, the pressure sensitive touch screen display device further configured to receive a first touch input data on a first contact area, the first touch input data including force data, wherein the processor is configured to determine a second contact area as a function of the first touch input data and the first contact area, the second contact area being indicative of a prediction for a second, subsequent touch input data and wherein the processor is further configured to determine whether to provide a predictive visual indicator as a function of familiarity data, the familiarity data being indicative of whether a user is familiar with a layout of the user interface, wherein the pressure sensitive touch screen display device is configured to display at least one predictive visual indicator that corresponds to the second contact area in response to the prediction. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
