Abstract: Embodiments described herein may take the form of an electromagnetic actuator that produces a haptic output during operation. Generally, an electromagnetic coil is wrapped around a central magnet array. A shaft passes through the central magnet array, such that the central array may move along the shaft when the proper force is applied. When a current passes through the electromagnetic coil, the coil generates a magnetic field. The coil is stationary with respect to a housing of the actuator, while the central magnet array may move along the shaft within the housing. Thus, excitation of the coil exerts a force on the central magnet array, which moves in response to that force. The direction of the current through the coil determines the direction of the magnetic field and thus the motion of the central magnet array.

Abstract: Hier beschriebene Ausführungsformen können die Form eines elektromagnetischen Aktuators annehmen, der während des Betriebs eine haptische Ausgabe erzeugt. Allgemein gesprochen wird eine elektromagnetische Spule um eine zentrale Magnetanordnung gewickelt. Ein Schaft verläuft durch die zentrale Magnetanordnung, sodass sich die zentrale Magnetanordnung längs des Schaftes bewegen kann, wenn eine geeignete Kraft angewandt wird. Wenn ein Strom durch die elektromagnetische Spule fließt, erzeugt die Spule ein Magnetfeld. Die Spule ist stationär bezüglich eines Gehäuses des Aktuators, während die zentrale Magnetanordnung sich längs des Schaftes innerhalb des Gehäuses bewegen kann. Die Erregung der Spule übt daher eine Kraft auf die zentrale Magnetanordnung aus, die sich als Reaktion auf diese Kraft bewegt. Die Richtung des Stromes durch die Spule bestimmt die Richtung des Magnetfelds und damit die Bewegung der zentralen Magnetanordnung.

Abstract: An electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface: detects, on the touch-sensitive surface, a gesture that includes an increase of intensity of a contact above a respective intensity threshold. In response to detecting the gesture: in accordance with a determination that the gesture includes a first number of contacts, the device generates a tactile output on the touch-sensitive surface; and in accordance with a determination that the gesture includes a second number of contacts different from the first number, the device forgoes generating the tactile output on the touch-sensitive surface.

Abstract: Electronic devices may use touch pads that have touch sensor arrays, force sensors, and actuators for providing tactile feedback. A touch pad may be mounted in a computer housing. The touch pad may have a rectangular planar touch pad member that has a glass layer covered with ink and contains a capacitive touch sensor array. Force sensors may be mounted under each of the four corners of the rectangular planar touch pad member. The force sensors may be used to measure how much force is applied to the surface of the planar touch pad member by a user. Processed force sensor signals may indicate the presence of button activity such as press and release events. In response to detected button activity or other activity in the device, actuator drive signals may be generated for controlling the actuator. The user may supply settings to adjust signal processing and tactile feedback parameters.
