1. A method of operating a touch-screen device, the method comprising:
- detecting, by one or more processors, a first touch at a location on a touch-screen;
detecting, by one or more processors, a second touch on the touch-screen, the detected second touch occurring simultaneously with the first touch on the touch-screen;
calculating, by one or more processors, a pressure of the detected second touch to generate a calculated pressure of the detected second touch;
assigning, by one or more processors, the calculated pressure of the detected second touch to the detected first touch; and
generating, by one or more processors, a specific touch-screen output according to the location and assigned calculated pressure of the detected first touch.

Abstract
A method, device, and/or computer program product operates a touch-screen device. A first touch at a location on a touch-screen is detected. A second touch on the touch-screen, which occurs simultaneously with the first touch on the touch-screen, is detected. A pressure of the detected second touch is calculated and assigned to the detected first touch. A specific touch-screen output is generated according to the location and assigned calculated pressure of the detected first touch.
