Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Manipulating Selectable User Interface Objects
First Claim
1. A multifunction device, comprising:
- a display and a touch-sensitive surface;
one or more processors;
memory; and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for;
displaying a plurality of selectable user interface objects, wherein each respective selectable user interface object has a respective activation region;
detecting a first input with the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a default activation region for a first selectable user interface object; and
,in response to detecting the first input;
selecting the first selectable user interface object;
performing an operation selected from the group consisting of;
deactivating the activation region of the first selectable user interface object, andreducing the activation region of the first selectable user interface object to a smaller area than the default activation region; and
enlarging an activation region of a selectable user interface object that is adjacent to the first selectable user interface object such that the enlarged activation region of the adjacent selectable user interface object occupies at least a portion of an area that was previously occupied by the default activation region of the first selectable user interface object.

Abstract
A multifunction device displays a plurality of selectable user interface objects. Each respective selectable user interface object has a respective activation region. The device detects a first input; and, in response to detecting the first input, the device selects the first selectable user interface object and the device additionally: deactivates the activation region of the first selectable user interface object, or reduces the activation region of the first selectable user interface object to a smaller area than the default activation region. The device also enlarges an activation region of a selectable user interface object that is adjacent to the first selectable user interface object such that the enlarged activation region of the adjacent selectable user interface object occupies at least a portion of an area previously occupied by the default activation region of the first selectable user interface object.

11. A computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, cause the device to:
-
display a plurality of selectable user interface objects, wherein each respective selectable user interface object has a respective activation region; detect a first input with the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a default activation region for a first selectable user interface object; and
,in response to detecting the first input; select the first selectable user interface object; perform an operation selected from the group consisting of; deactivating the activation region of the first selectable user interface object, and reducing the activation region of the first selectable user interface object to a smaller area than the default activation region; and enlarge an activation region of a selectable user interface object that is adjacent to the first selectable user interface object such that the enlarged activation region of the adjacent selectable user interface object occupies at least a portion of an area that was previously occupied by the default activation region of the first selectable user interface object.
