1. A method of operating an electronic device comprising:
- at the electronic device;
sensing at least one force applied to the entire electronic device by a human user;
determining a force category for the at least one force; and
providing a feedback action to the human user at an output interface, the feedback action being associated with the determined force category and the output interface being integral with the electronic device.

Abstract
At an electronic device, at least one force applied to the entire electronic device by a human user is sensed. A force category for the at least one force is determined and a feedback action is provided to the human user at an output interface. The feedback action is associated with the determined force category and the output interface is integral with the electronic device.
