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.
