1. An apparatus comprising:
- a touch sensor;
a display;
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing computer program instructions configured, if executed by the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to;
detect a touch input at a portion of the display corresponding to a displayed icon;
identify the touch input as a first input gesture based on a time duration of the touch input;
identify the touch input as a second input gesture based on a pressure value of the touch input;
execute an application corresponding to the displayed icon if the touch input is identified as the first input gesture;
display a pop-up window including a menu having at least one configurable setting associated with the application if the touch input is identified as the second input gesture; and
in response to another touch input being identified, at a portion of the display corresponding to the displayed icon, as the first input gesture while displaying the pop-up window, execute the application corresponding to the displayed icon.

8. An apparatus comprising:
-
a touch sensor; a display; at least one processor; and at least one memory storing computer program instructions configured, if executed by the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to; display an icon corresponding to an application on the display; detect a first input corresponding to a short touch at a portion of the display corresponding to the displayed icon; detect a second input corresponding to a pressure touch at the portion of the display corresponding to the displayed icon; execute the application corresponding to the displayed icon if the first input is detected; display a pop-up window including a menu having at least one configurable setting associated with the application if the second input is detected; and in response to another input corresponding to the short touch being detected at a portion of the display corresponding to the displayed icon, while displaying the pop-up window, execute the application corresponding to the displayed icon, wherein the second input is associated with a touch pressure value greater than a touch pressure value associated with the first input. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
a touch sensor; a display; at least one processor; and at least one memory storing computer program instructions configured, if executed by the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to; display an icon corresponding to an application on the display; detect a touch input at a portion of the display corresponding to the displayed icon; execute a first function associated with the displayed icon if the touch input corresponds to a short touch; execute a second function associated with the displayed icon if the touch input corresponds to a long touch; execute a third function associated with the displayed icon if the touch input corresponds to a pressure touch; and in response to another touch input corresponding to the short touch being detected at a portion of the display corresponding to the displayed icon while executing the third function, execute the first function associated with the displayed icon, wherein the pressure touch is associated with a touch pressure value greater than a touch pressure value associated with the short touch or the long touch. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
