Abstract
A method, device, and/or computer program product operates a touch-screen device. One or more processors detect a first moving touch on a touch-screen, where the touch-screen is able to detect a presence of the first moving touch but is not able to detect an amount of pressure being applied by the first moving touch. The processor(s) detect a simultaneous second moving touch on the touch-screen, and detect a line being drawn on the touch-screen by the first moving touch. The processor(s) calculate a calculated pressure for the first moving touch based on a distance on the touch-screen between the first moving touch and the second moving touch while the line is being drawn on the touch-screen by the first moving touch, and then adjust a thickness of the line being drawn on the touch-screen by the calculated pressure for the first moving touch.
