TOUCH ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS

摘要

The present disclosure generally relates to methods and devices for providing touch accommodations to users with tremors or other fine motor impairments to improve the accuracy of such users' touch inputs on touch-sensitive surfaces. Such methods and devices include various approaches for compensating for brief, inadvertent touch inputs; touch inputs with inadvertent motion across the touch-sensitive surface; and/or touch inputs with inadvertent recoil contacts. In some embodiments, the touch accommodations are implemented in a software layer separate from the application layer, such as the operating system.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, cause the electronic device to:
display, on the display, a user interface associated with an application; detect, on the touch-sensitive surface, a first touch input on the touch-sensitive surface including a first contact on the touch-sensitive surface; in response to detecting the first touch input, generate data representing at least a portion of the first touch input; in accordance with a determination that a hold duration setting is enabled:
determine whether a set of one or more hold duration criteria have been met for the first touch input, wherein the hold duration criteria are based on a hold duration time period that corresponds to the hold duration setting;in accordance with a determination that the set of one or more hold duration criteria have been met for the first touch input, wherein the hold duration criteria include a hold duration criterion that is met when a duration of the first contact exceeds the hold duration time period, provide the data representing at least a portion of the first touch input to the application; and in accordance with a determination that the set of one or more hold duration criteria have not been met, forgo providing the data representing at least a portion of the first touch input to the application.
