Abstract
There is described a method performed by a computing device having first and second touch-sensitive user interfaces. According to this method, when a user input is applied to one of the first and second user interfaces, the computing device detects the user input and determines a force applied by the user input and a type of the user input. The computing device then determines whether to perform a function such as whether to display a virtual trackpad or a virtual keyboard, based on the force, the type of the user input, and a determination whether the user input is applied to a selected one of the first and second user interfaces.

A method performed by a computing device having a first touch-sensitive user interface and a second touch-sensitive user interface, the method comprising:
- detecting a user input applied to one of the first and second user interfaces;
- determining a force of the user input;
- determining a type of the user input;
- and
- performing a function, by the computing device, based on the force, the type of the user input, and a detection of the user input applied to a selected one of the first and second user interfaces.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising computer-executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause a processor to perform:
- detecting a user input applied to one of a first and a second touch-sensitive user interface;
- determining a force of the user input;
- determining a type of the user input;
- and
- performing a function by the computing device based on the force, the type of the user input, and a determination that the user input is applied to a selected one of the first and second user interfaces.
A computing device comprising:
- a first and a second touch-sensitive user interfaces;
- one or more computer-readable storage media;
- and
- one or more processors communicative with the one or more computer-readable storage media and the first and second touch-sensitive user interfaces for:
- detecting a user input applied to one of the first and second user interfaces;
- determining a force of the user input;
- determining a type of the user input;
- and
- performing a function by the computing device based on the force, the type of the user input, and a determination that the user input is applied to a selected one of the first and second user interfaces.
