ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for differentiating between and transmitting different levels of information associated with an object or file depending upon a number of tactile inputs detected. In particular, a user can define a number of levels (e.g., of privacy, of detail, etc.) associated with items of information making up objects or files stored on his or her device. The user can then indicate which level of information (i.e., which items of information of the object or file) he or she would like to transmit by using a different number of fingers (or other selection devices) to select the object or file. The electronic device may, in response, determine the number of fingers (or other selection devices) used and then transmit only the corresponding portions (e.g., items of information) of the selected object or file.
