1. A method comprising:
- displaying an image via a graphical user interface on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device;
detecting a predetermined relation between a selection tool and the image;
panning the image in response to movement of the selection tool along the touch-sensitive display;
detecting a depression of the touch-sensitive display;
determining if the depression activated a physical switch, wherein the physical switch activates in response to a force associated with the depression being greater than a given threshold;
in response to determining that the depression activated the physical switch, zooming on the image; and
in response to determining that the depression fails to activate the physical switch, performing at least one function that is different from zooming on the image.

Abstract
A method and method for displaying an image via a graphical user interface on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device includes detecting a predetermined relation between a selection tool and the image. The image is panned in response to movement of the selection tool along the touch-sensitive display. The image is zoomed on in response to depression of the touch-sensitive display. An optional cursor may be activated upon detection of a first tap of the selection tool on the touch-sensitive display.

18. An electronic device comprising:
-
a physical switch and a touch-sensitive display; a microprocessor separate from the switch and configured to; display an image on the touch-sensitive display; detect a predetermined relation between a selection tool and the image; pan the image in response to movement of the selection tool along the touch-sensitive display; detect depression of the touch-sensitive display; determine if the depression activated the physical switch, wherein the physical switch activates in response to a force associated with the depression being greater than a given threshold; in response to determining that the depression activated the physical switch, zoom on the image; and in response to determining that the depression fails to activate the physical switch, perform at least one function that is different from zooming on the image. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 27, 34)

23. A method comprising:
-
displaying an image on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device; detecting a predetermined relation between a selection tool and the image; panning the image in response to movement of the selection tool along the touch-sensitive display; detecting depression of the touch-sensitive display; after movement of the selection tool, determining if the depression activated a physical switch disposed below the touch-sensitive display, wherein the physical switch activates in response to a force associated with the depression being greater than a given threshold; in response to determining that the depression activated the physical switch, zooming on the image; and in response to determining that the depression fails to activate the physical switch, performing at least one function that is different from zooming on the image. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 28, 35)

29. A method comprising:
-
displaying an image on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device; detecting a predetermined relation between a selection tool and the image; panning the image in response to movement of the selection tool along the touch-sensitive display; and detecting a touch on the image, which touch depresses the touch-sensitive display; after movement of the selection tool, determining if the depression activated a physical switch disposed below the touch-sensitive display, wherein the physical switch activates in response to a force associated with the depression being greater than a given threshold; in response to determining that the depression activated the physical switch, zooming on the image; and in response to determining that the depression fails to activate the physical switch, performing at least one function that is different from zooming on the image. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32)
