1. A method comprising:
- displaying first information corresponding to a first output state;
while a user actuation is occurring, temporarily displaying information corresponding to a second output state; and
when the user actuation is released and is no longer occurring, returning to displaying the first information corresponding to the first output state, wherein the user actuation comprises temporarily inwardly deforming or bending only a front face of an apparatus, and not deforming or bending a back face of the apparatus.

13. An apparatus comprising:
-
a sensor configured to respond to a user actuation by generating a sensor signal; at least one processor; and at least one memory comprising computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform; controlling a display to display first information corresponding to a first output state; while detecting the sensor signal from the sensor responsive to a user actuation, temporarily controlling the display to display information corresponding to a second output state, and when no longer detecting the sensor signal from the sensor because the user actuation is released and is no longer occurring, automatically controlling the display to return to displaying the first information corresponding to the first output state, wherein the user actuation comprises temporarily inwardly deforming or bending only a front face of the apparatus, and not deforming or bending a back face of the apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. An apparatus comprising:
-
sensor means for responding to a user actuation by generating a sensor signal; means for controlling a display to display first information corresponding to a first output state; means for temporarily controlling the display to display information corresponding to a second output state while the sensor signal is being generated; and means for controlling the display to display the first information corresponding to the first output state when the sensor signal is no longer being generated because the user actuation is released and is no longer occurring, wherein the user actuation comprises temporarily inwardly deforming or bending only a front face of the apparatus, and not deforming or bending a back face of the apparatus.

25. A computer program stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium which when loaded into a processor enables the processor to:
-
enable displaying first information corresponding to a first output state; while a user actuation is occurring, enable temporarily displaying information corresponding to a second output state; and when the user actuation is released and is no longer occurring, enabling returning to displaying the first information corresponding to the first output state, wherein the user actuation comprises temporarily inwardly deforming or bending only a front face of the apparatus, and not deforming or bending a back face of the apparatus.
