Abstract:
An electronic device includes memory associating a control action with a defined region on an external surface of the electronic device. A localized haptic feedback response is provided responsive to detection of initial touch input within the defined region, and the control action is executed responsive to detection of a touch direction performed in association with the defined region following the detection of the touch input.
