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: 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.

Abstract: Dispositivos electrónicos pueden utilizar paneles sensibles al tacto que tienen arreglos de sensores táctiles, sensores de fuerza, y activadores para proporcionar retroalimentación táctil. Un panel sensible al tacto puede montarse en un alojamiento de computadora. El panel sensible al tacto puede tener un miembro de panel sensible al tacto plano rectangular que tiene una capa de vidrio cubierta con tinta y contiene un arreglo de sensores táctiles capacitivos. Pueden montarse sensores de fuerza bajo cada una de las cuatro esquinas del miembro de panel sensible al tacto plano rectangular. Los sensores de fuerza pueden utilizarse para medir qué tanta fuerza se aplica a la superficie del miembro de panel sensible al tacto plano por un usuario. Las señales procesadas de sensores de fuerza pueden indicar la presencia de actividad de botones tales como eventos de presión y liberación. En respuesta a la actividad de botones detectada u otra actividad en el dispositivo, pueden generarse señales de conducción de activador para controlar el activador. El usuario puede suministrar parámetros para ajustar los parámetros de procesamiento de señales y retroalimentación táctil.

Abstract: A portable computing device includes at least a base portion of a lightweight material that includes a wedge shaped top case coupled to a bottom case. The portable computing device also includes a lid portion pivotally connected to the base portion by a hinge assembly. The lid portion has a display in communication with one or more components in the base portion via one or more electrical conductors. A touch pad situated on the base portion includes a glass layer bonded atop a cosmetic layer, a sensor layer for detecting inputs via a top surface of the glass layer, circuitry for processing signals, and a connection interface for connecting the circuitry to a main logic board. The glass layer provides primary structural rigidity for the touch pad.

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.
