Abstract
An apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises at least one processing unit, at least one memory, a pressure level sensitive user input device, and a graphical user interface. The at least one memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the apparatus to detect that a pressure level applied on the pressure level sensitive user input device at a touching point exceeds a predetermined pressure level, the touching point corresponding to a location on the graphical user interface, detect an increase in the applied pressure level, and expand a selection area from the location in response to the increase in the applied pressure level to select at least one graphical user interface item.
