  • Patent number: 8707195
    Abstract: An accessible electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface: displays a first plurality of user-selectable objects; detects a finger contact on the touch-sensitive surface; detects movement of the finger contact across the touch sensitive surface to an activation region that corresponds to a first user-selectable object; while detecting the finger contact at the activation region, initiates output of audible accessibility information associated with the first user-selectable object; detects termination of the finger contact while the finger contact is at the activation region that corresponds to the first user-selectable object; and, in response: performs a predefined operation associated with the first user-selectable object if the device has output at least a predefined portion of the audible accessibility information associated with the first user-selectable object when the termination of the finger contact is detected; and forgoes performing the predefined operation otherwise.

  • Publication number: 20110298723
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a plurality of user-selectable objects. A respective user-selectable object has a corresponding activation region on the touch-sensitive surface with an activation region size. The activation region size has a respective default size when a representative point for a finger contact is located outside the activation region. The activation region size has a respective expanded size when the representative point is located within the activation region. The device: detects movement of the finger contact across the touch-sensitive surface; in response, changes the size of the activation region for the respective user-selectable object between the respective default size and the respective expanded size in accordance with the movement of the finger contact; detects a user input when the representative point is located within the activation region for the respective user-selectable object; and, in response, performs a predefined operation.
