Electronic device with a pressure sensitive multi-touch display
View Patent ↗A view may be displayed on a multi-touch display based on force or pressure from a detected touch and a detected indentation of a clear layer. A detailed view related to the view may also be provided on the multi-touch display based on a detected further indentation.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a multi-touch display, of the electronic device, configured to display an image, wherein a substantially clear layer is proximate to the multi-touch display;
a processor configured to display, on the multi-touch display, an information view based on pressure from a detected touch on the displayed image and a detected indentation of the substantially clear layer, wherein the pressure is detected by one or more sensors of the electronic device; and
the processor configured to cause display of a detailed view of the information view based on a detected further indentation of the substantially clear layer.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 further comprising:
the electronic device configured to provide a programmable vibration in relation to a zoom operation of the image.
3. The electronic device of claim 1 further comprising:
circuitry configured to raise, by the electronic device, the substantially clear layer to a height substantially above the multi-touch display.
4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a vibration or a texture pattern is provided in association with the detected indentation or the detected further indentation.
5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the multi-touch display is a flexible OLED display.
6. A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
displaying, by a multi-touch display of the electronic device, an image, wherein a substantially clear layer is proximate to the multi-touch display;
displaying, on the multi-touch display, an information view based on pressure from a detected touch on the displayed image and a detected indentation of the substantially clear layer, wherein the pressure is detected by one or more sensors of the electronic device; and
displaying a detailed view of the information view based on a detected further indentation of the substantially clear layer.
7. The method of claim 6 further comprising:
providing, by the electronic device, a programmable vibration in relation to a zoom operation of the image.
8. The method of claim 6 further comprising:
raising, by the electronic device, the substantially clear layer to a height substantially above the multi-touch display.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein a vibration or a texture pattern is provided in association with the detected indentation or the detected further indentation.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the multi-touch display is a flexible OLED display.
11. An electronic device comprising:
a multi-touch display, of the electronic device, configured to display information, wherein a substantially clear layer is proximate to the multi-touch display;
a processor configured to display, on the multi-touch display, an information view based on pressure from multiple detected touches on the displayed information and a detected indentation of the substantially clear layer, wherein the pressure is detected by one or more sensors of the electronic device; and
the processor configured to cause display of a detailed view of the information view based on a detected further indentation of the substantially clear layer.
12. The electronic device of claim 11 further comprising:
circuitry configured to raise, by the electronic device, the substantially clear layer to a height substantially above the multi-touch display.
13. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein a vibration or a texture pattern is provided in association with the detected indentation or the detected further indentation.
14. A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
displaying, by a multi-touch display of the electronic device, information, wherein a substantially clear layer is proximate to the multi-touch display;
displaying, on the multi-touch display, an information view based on pressure from multiple detected touches on the displayed information and a detected indentation of the substantially clear layer, wherein the pressure is detected by one or more sensors of the electronic device; and
displaying a detailed view of the information view based on a detected further indentation of the substantially clear layer.
15. The method of claim 14 further comprising:
raising, by the electronic device, the substantially clear layer to a height substantially above the multi-touch display.
16. The method of claim 14 , wherein a vibration or a texture pattern is provided in association with the detected indentation or the detected further indentation.
