PRESSURE NAVIGATION ON A TOUCH SENSITIVE USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising a computer useable storage medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program includes instructions that, when executed by a processing device within a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
- generating a measurement of pressure applied by a user as a function of time at a touch sensitive user interface; and
navigating through a three dimensional data set in response to the measurement of pressure, wherein an increase in the pressure navigates in a first direction through the three dimensional data set, and a decrease in the pressure navigates in a second direction through the three dimensional data set.

Abstract
A menu and application navigation system utilizing pressure includes a display device including a touch sensitive user interface, and a navigation engine coupled to the display device. The navigation engine is configured to generate a measurement of pressure applied by a user as a function of time at the touch sensitive user interface. The navigation engine is further configured to navigate through a three dimensional data set in response to the measurement of pressure. An increase in the pressure navigates in a first direction through the three dimensional data set, and a decrease in the pressure navigates in a second direction through the three dimensional data set.
