Device, method and graphical user interface for deleting an object in a user interface
The disclosure generally relates to the field of graphical user interfaces and particular it relates to a method of deleting a graphical user interface object, and to a corresponding electronic device and computer program. In particular the disclosure relates to a method, at an electronic device with a touch display and at least one user feedback mechanism for deleting a user interface object, wherein user feedback is provided, in response to the, facilitated by one of the at least one of the user feedback mechanisms.
1. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with a touch display and at least one user feedback mechanism:
displaying, on the touch display, a user interface including a plurality of user interface objects;
receiving a touch input applied on the touch display on two user interface objects of the plurality of user interface objects;
continuing to receive the touch input applied on the touch display for a first time period;
providing, in response to the continuing to receive, a first user feedback facilitated by one of the at least one user feedback mechanisms;
continuing to receive the touch input applied on the touch display for a second time period;
increasing an intensity of the first user feedback until a second user feedback associated with deletion of the two user interface objects is provided;
providing, in response to the continuing to receive the touch input for the second time period, the second user feedback using one of the at least one user feedback mechanisms; and
removing, in response to the continuing to receive, the two user interface objects from the user interface.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user feedback is provided until provision of the second user feedback starts.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user feedback is at least one of audio feedback, tactile feedback and/or visual feedback.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the removing comprises gradually removing the two user interface objects from the touch display.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the two user interface objects are associated with respective data objects stored in a memory and wherein the removing includes removing the user interface objects and their associated data.
6. An electronic device, comprising:
a touch display;
at least one user feedback mechanism;
one or more processors; and
a computer memory circuit storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the electronic device to perform operations including:
displaying, on the touch display, a user interface including a plurality of user interface objects;
receiving a touch input applied on the touch display on two user interface objects of the plurality of user interface objects;
continuing to receive the touch input applied on the touch display for a first time period;
providing, in response to the continuing to receive, a first user feedback facilitated by one of the at least one user feedback mechanisms;
continuing to receive the touch input applied on the touch display for a second time period;
increasing an intensity of the first user feedback until a second user feedback associated with deletion of the two user interface objects is provided;
providing, in response to the continuing to receive the touch input for the second time period, the second user feedback using one of the at least one user feedback mechanisms; and
removing, in response to the continuing to receive, the two user interface objects from the user interface.
7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the operations further include providing the first user feedback until provision of the second user feedback starts.
8. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the user feedback is at least one of audio feedback, tactile feedback and/or visual feedback.
9. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the removing includes gradually removing the two user interface objects from the touch display.
10. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the two user interface objects are associated with respective data objects stored in the computer memory circuit and wherein the removing includes removing the two user interface objects and their associated data.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by an electronic device with a touch display and at least one user feedback mechanism cause the electronic device to perform operations including:
displaying, on the touch display, a user interface including a plurality of user interface objects;
receiving a touch input applied on the touch display on two user interface objects of the plurality of user interface objects;
continuing to receive the touch input applied on the touch display for a first time period;
providing, in response to the continuing to receive, a first user feedback facilitated by one of the at least one user feedback mechanisms;
continuing to receive the touch input applied on the touch display, for a second time period;
increasing an intensity of the first user feedback until a second user feedback associated with deletion of the two user interface objects is provided;
providing, in response to the continuing to receive the touch input for the second time period, the second user feedback using one of the at least one user feedback mechanisms; and
removing, in response to the continuing to receive, the two user interface objects from the user interface.
12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the user feedback is at least one of audio feedback, tactile feedback and/or visual feedback.
13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the removing includes gradually removing the two user interface objects from the touch display.
14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the two user interface objects are associated with respective data objects stored in a memory, and wherein the removing includes removing the two user interface objects and their associated data.
