Patent attributes
Apparatuses and a computer-readable media are provided to: display a list of messages via an interface; detect a pressure being applied to the touch screen on at least one of the messages of the list; in the event that the magnitude of the pressure being applied to the touch screen on the at least one message is less than a first magnitude threshold, display the at least one message after a cessation of the pressure has been detected; in the event that the magnitude of the pressure being applied to the touch screen on the at least one message is greater than the first magnitude threshold and is less than a second magnitude threshold: based on an increase in the magnitude of the pressure being applied to the touch screen on the at least one message: increase a blurring of at least a portion of the interface other than the at least one message, and increase a magnification of at least a portion of the at least one message, such that the at least portion of the interface appears to be increasing in depth as compared to the at least portion of the at least one message, and based on a decrease in the magnitude of the pressure being applied to the touch screen on the at least one message: decrease the blurring of the at least portion of the interface other than the at least one message, and decrease the magnification of the at least portion of the at least one message, such that the at least portion of the interface appears to be decreasing in depth as compared to the at least portion of the at least one message.
