Methods and apparatus for pressure-based manipulation of content on a touch screen
First Claim
1. A method for using a touch screen display including a transparent pressure-sensing touch panel, the method comprising:
- displaying content on the touch screen display, resulting in displayed content;
obtaining one or more pressure metrics for an input gesture on the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel of the touch screen display, each pressure metric corresponding to pressure applied to the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel by a respective impression of the input gesture; and
adjusting the displayed content on the touch screen display in response to the input gesture, wherein the displayed content is adjusted based on to the one or more pressure metrics for the input gesture.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for manipulating content displayed on a touch screen utilizing a transparent pressure-sensing touch panel. A method comprises displaying content on the touch screen and obtaining one or more pressure metrics for an input gesture on the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel. Each pressure metric corresponds to pressure (or force) applied to the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel by a respective impression of the input gesture. The method further comprises adjusting the displayed content on the touch screen in response to the input gesture, wherein the displayed content is adjusted based on to the one or more pressure metrics for the input gesture.

13. A device comprising:
a touch screen display comprising; a display device configured to display graphical content; a transparent pressure-sensing touch panel aligned with respect to the display device such that at least a portion of the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel overlaps at least a portion of the graphical content displayed on the display device; and a processing module coupled to the touch screen display, wherein the processing module and the touch screen display are cooperatively configured to adjust graphical content displayed on the display device in response to a pressure applied to the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel, wherein the extent of the adjustment corresponds to the pressure applied to the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A method for using a touch screen display, the touch screen display comprising a transparent touch panel aligned in a line-of-sight with respect to a display device of the touch screen display, the transparent touch panel including a transparent composite layer, the method comprising:
-
displaying an object on the display device of the touch screen display; determining pressure applied to the transparent touch panel by a first impression based on a change in a conductivity of the transparent composite layer underlying the first impression, the conductivity of the transparent composite layer being influenced by the pressure applied to the transparent touch panel by the first impression; and manipulating the object on the display device in response to the first impression, wherein the extent of the manipulation is influenced by the pressure applied to the transparent touch panel by the first impression. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
