In some embodiments, a device displays content on a touch screen display and detects input by finger gestures. In response to the finger gestures, the device selects content, visually distinguishes the selected content, and/or updates the selected content based on detected input. In some embodiments, the device displays a command display area that includes one or more command icons; detects activation of a command icon in the command display area; and, in response to detecting activation of the command icon in the command display area, performs a corresponding action with respect to the selected content. Exemplary actions include cutting, copying, and pasting content.

An apparatus and a method of displaying a notification in an electronic device are provided. The apparatus includes a display unit configured to display a status bar including one or more notification icons, and a controller configured to display notification information including an icon and a number of notifications of an application program for each application program when the status bar is selected.

The present disclosure generally relates to managing phone calls. In some embodiments, an electronic device with a touch screen displays a phone call user interface which includes informational items associated with phone calls, such as an add call affordance. In some embodiments, when the electronic device receives a request to initiate another phone and displays an additional user interface that includes a merge call affordance that replaces display of the add call affordance.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, an electronic device comprises: a dielectric sheet disposed between a display panel and at least one portion of a housing and includes a conductive mesh comprising a plurality of conductive lines, the dielectric sheet including at least one first mesh pattern part disposed in a first region of the dielectric sheet, a second mesh pattern part disposed in a second region at least partially surrounding the first region, and at least one dummy pattern part which segments the at least one first mesh pattern part and the second mesh pattern part in a third region between the first region and the second region; and a wireless communication circuit disposed in the housing and electrically connected to the at least one first mesh pattern part, wherein the at least one dummy pattern part may include a plurality of segments formed in the third region by partially removing the plurality of conductive lines.

A bended display device according to the present specification comprises: a bended display having a main region facing the front side of the device and a sub-region with a certain curvature extending from the main region; a tilt sensor which sends the posture of the device; and a control unit which controls the functions of the device, wherein the control unit displays information on an event which is generated while an application displaying a screen on the main region is running, and can control the scroll speed of event information displayed on the sub-region in conjunction with the posture of the device which is detected by the tilt sensor.

Described herein are ways to enhance communication device performance during the device's interaction with a voice response system. Embodiments of the communication device, such as a mobile telephone with a touch screen, do not have the conventional problems of the touch screens darkening when wanting illuminated screens and requiring a caller to endure undesired audio output while on hold for extended lengths of time, as non-limiting example problems. The invention may also be embodied as a voice response system, a method of its operation, a method of operating a telephone having a touch screen, and a non-transitory machine readable storage medium containing instructions that when executed cause the performance of such methods.

The present disclosure generally relates to electronic touch communications that include visual information, such as a video or image in combination with visual representations that are based on a single-finger touch input or a multiple-finger touch input.

An apparatus to secure a sensor assembly for a device touch button (such as for a mobile communications device). A touch sensor slot forms a part of the device case interior at a back-side of the touch button surface, and is configured to position the touch sensor (such as a sense coil inductor) relative to the associated touch button. A touch sensor spring clip is inserted within the touch sensor slot to flexibly urge the touch sensor toward the front-side surface of the touch sensor slot (back-side of the touch button surface). The touch sensor can include front-side spacers to maintain a sensing gap between the touch sensor and the touch button surface, and can include a sensor stiffener at the back-side surface of the touch sensor assembly, the touch sensor spring clip contacting the sensor stiffener. The touch sensor assembly can comprise a flex circuit PCB assembly.

An electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, one or more processors, and memory detects a first user input. In response to detecting the first user input, the device displays on the touch-sensitive display a user interface screen including a first affordance and a second affordance. The device detects a second user input including a contact on the touch-sensitive display. In accordance with a determination that the contact corresponds to selection of the first affordance, the electronic device is caused to turn off. In accordance with a determination that the contact corresponds to selection of the second affordance, the device causes initiation of a telephone call to a determined number.

The present disclosure generally relates to replacing an application affordance corresponding to an application with a different application affordance corresponding to a different application when the different application meets a predetermined criteria.
