Publication number: 20230277923Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus including a touch sensitive user interface and a processor. The processor is configured to detect a first contact at a first position on the user interface, determine a movement of the first contact from the first position and if the movement is less than a predetermined movement threshold, when a release of the first contact is detected, move a first object on the user interface from an initial position on the user interface to an area at or near the first position. If the movement is greater than the predetermined movement threshold to identify a second position corresponding to an area near an end point of the movement and when the release of the first contact is detected, execute an action on the second position from the first object.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Supercell OyInventors: Touko Tahkokallio, Jonne Loikkanen, Jon Franzas
