Abstract: An electronic device, with a display and an input device separate from the display, displays a user interface that includes a representation of a first application and a pointer object. The device receives, at the input device, a user input event directed to a location in the user interface at which the pointer object is displayed. In response to the user input event, when the respective location in the user interface at which the pointer object is displayed is over the representation of the first application, the device provides, to the first application, information that describes a simulated touch event including information that describes locations of one or more simulated touches in the user interface; and displays, on the display, a change in the representation of the first application that is determined by the first application in response to the information that describes the simulated touch event.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a touch-sensitive surface. The electronic device includes one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface. The device detects a first touch input on the touch-sensitive surface, and, in response to detecting the first touch input on the touch-sensitive surface, determines a first intensity applied by the first touch input on the touch-sensitive surface. The device identifies a first intensity model identifier from a plurality of predefined intensity model identifiers, and, in accordance with the first intensity applied by the first touch input on the touch-sensitive surface and one or more thresholds associated with the first intensity model identifier, determines a first touch characterization parameter. Subsequent to determining the first touch characterization parameter, the device sends first touch information to the first software application. The first touch information includes the first intensity model identifier and the first touch characterization parameter.

Abstract: An electronic device detects a first touch input on a first touch region of a touch-sensitive surface, and identifies a first intensity model identifier associated with the first touch region. In response to detecting the first touch input, the device determines a first intensity of the first touch input on the first touch region; determines a first touch characterization parameter; and, subsequently sends to a first software application the first touch characterization parameter. The device also detects a second touch input on a second touch region of the touch-sensitive surface, and identifies a second intensity model identifier associated with the second touch region. In response to detecting the second touch input, the device determines a second intensity of the second touch input on the second touch region; determines a second touch characterization parameter; and, subsequently sends to the first software application the second touch characterization parameter.

Abstract: An electronic device, with a display and one or more input devices separate from the display, displays, on the display, a user interface for an application. The device receives, at the one or more input devices separate from the display, user input events. The device generates a plurality of separate event streams in accordance with the user input events. The device merges information from the plurality of separate event streams to generate a stream of merged user input events. The device provides, to the application, information that describes the stream of merged user input events. The device displays, on the display, a response by the application that is based at least in part on the information that describes the stream of merged user input events.

Abstract: An electronic device, in response to detecting a touch input on a touch-sensitive surface, determines an intensity of the touch input. In accordance with the intensity of the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface and one or more preselected intensity thresholds, the device determines an intensity stage of the touch input and one or more intensity-based progress values of the touch input, based on an intensity range associated with the determined intensity stage. The device sends touch information to a first software application stored by the electronic device, including the one or more intensity-based progress values of the touch input and information identifying the intensity stage of the touch input, and processes the touch input based on the one or more intensity-based progress values of the touch input and the intensity stage of the touch input.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a touch-sensitive surface. The device detects a touch input on the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the touch input, the device, in accordance with a determination that the touch input is at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that is associated with a first intensity model of a plurality of different intensity models, processes the touch input in accordance with an intensity applied by the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface and the first intensity model without generating a tactile output; and, in accordance with a determination that the touch input is at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that is associated with a second intensity model different from the first intensity model, processes the touch input in accordance with an intensity applied by the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface and the second intensity model, including conditionally generating a tactile output.

Abstract: An electronic device displays a user interface that includes a first display region and a second display region. The device detects a first intensity of a touch input at a first location on a touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to the first display region; detects a movement of the touch input to a second location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to the second display region; after detecting the movement, detects a second intensity of the touch input at the second location; and, in response, in accordance with a determination that the first intensity does not satisfy a first intensity threshold, processes the second intensity using one or more intensity thresholds associated with the second display region; and, in accordance with a determination that the first intensity satisfies the first intensity threshold, processes the second intensity using one or more intensity thresholds associated with the first display region.
