摘要

Methods and device for simultaneous multi-touch input on a touchscreen display are described. In one aspect, the present application describes a method implemented by a processor of an electronic device. The electronic device has a touchscreen display. The method includes detecting a first touch gesture on a first portion of the touchscreen display associated with a first control element and, during the first touch gesture, detecting a second touch gesture on a second portion of the touchscreen display associated with a second control element different from the first control element; and while detecting the first touch gesture and detecting the second touch gesture, simultaneously, causing a first event in the first portion of the touchscreen display in response to the first touch gesture, and causing a second event in the second portion of the touchscreen display in response to the second touch gesture.

1. A method implemented by a processor of an electronic device having a touchscreen display, the method comprising:
detecting a first touch gesture on a first portion of the touchscreen display associated with a first control element, the first control element being associated with a first display page of an application which covers substantially all of the touchscreen display, wherein the first touch gesture includes:
a horizontal swipe gesture to slide the first display page from over a second display page of the application, different from the first display page, to display at least a portion of the second display page, wherein content of the application displayed on the first display page corresponds to a selection of an interface element that is displayed on the second display page; anda continual press gesture to maintain the first display page at a partially slid position and prevent the first display page from sliding back over the second display page; detecting a second touch gesture on a second portion of the touchscreen display during the continual press gesture, the second portion of the touchscreen display being associated with a second control element different from the first control element, wherein the second control element is associated with the second display page; and while detecting the continual press gesture and detecting the second touch gesture, simultaneously,
maintaining the first display page in the partially slid position, andcausing a second event in the second portion of the touchscreen display in response to the second touch gesture.
