Abstract
A system and method for modifying a feature of a device based on an applied touch intensity is disclosed. When a touch is received, a sensor component sends a signal to a measurement component. The measurement component converts the signal into a touch intensity and provides the determined touch intensity to a selection component. The selection component selects at least one action from a set of actions to be executed by the device based on the determined touch intensity.
