Patent Images
1. A method for modifying an object rendered on a touch-sensitive display in response to a stylus input comprising:
- determining a contact location of the stylus upon the touch-sensitive display;
determining a location of a selected object of a plurality of objects rendered on the touch-sensitive display to correspond to the contact location, wherein the location of the selected object is independent of a stylus tilt relative to the display and a stylus contact pressure;
determining the stylus tilt relative to the touch-sensitive display; and
modifying an at least one appearance characteristic of the selected object in response to the stylus tilt while maintaining the location of the selected object.

Abstract
A stylus is used to modify the appearance of objects rendered on a touch-sensitive display. One of a plurality of objects on the display is selected by making contacting the object with the stylus. The stylus tilt and stylus contact pressure are determined. The appearance of the selected object is modified in response to the stylus tilt of the stylus and the stylus contact pressure.

13. A method for modifying an object rendered on a touch-sensitive display in response to a stylus input comprising:
-
determining a contact location of the stylus upon the touch-sensitive display; determining a location of a selected object of a plurality of objects rendered on the touch-sensitive display to correspond to the contact location; determining a stylus contact pressure of the stylus making contact with the touch-sensitive display; and modifying an at least one appearance characteristic of the selected object in response to the stylus contact pressure, wherein the at least one appearance characteristic includes a foreground image and a background image, and the background image has a darkness that is varied in response to the contact pressure, and the foreground image is not modified in response to the contact pressure.

14. An apparatus for modifying an appearance of an object rendered on the apparatus comprising:
-
a display for rendering a plurality of objects appearing in two dimensions; a stylus sensor for determining a contact location of a stylus upon the display; a user interface module for rendering each of the plurality of objects in a corresponding plurality of locations on the display and for determining a location of a selected object of the plurality of objects, the location of the selected object corresponding to the contact location and independent upon a stylus tilt relative to the display; the stylus sensor further for determining the stylus tilt of the stylus relative to the display; and the user interface module further for modifying an at least one appearance characteristic of the selected object in response to the stylus tilt while maintaining the location of the selected object. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
