    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: A method and system for displaying images on a transparent display of an electronic device. The display may include one or more display screens as well as a flexible circuit for connecting the display screens with internal circuitry of the electronic device. Furthermore, the display screens 5 may allow for overlaying of images over real world viewable objects, as well as a visible window to be present on an otherwise opaque display screen. Additionally, the display may include active and passive display screens that may be utilized based on images to be displayed.

    Abstract: Elektronische Vorrichtungen können Touchpads verwenden, welche Berührungssensorfelder, Kraftsensoren und Aktuatoren zum Bereitstellen von taktiler Rückmeldung haben. Ein Touchpad kann in einem Computergehäuse montiert sein. Das Touchpad kann ein rechteckiges, ebenes Touchpad-Teil haben, welches eine mit Tinte bedeckte Glasschicht hat und ein kapazitives Berührungssensorfeld enthält. Kraftsensoren können unter jeder der vier Ecken des rechteckigen, ebenen Touchpad-Teils montiert sein. Die Kraftsensoren können verwendet werden zum Messen, wie viel Kraft auf die Oberfläche des ebenen Touchpad-Teils durch einen Nutzer angewendet wird. Verarbeitete Kraftsensorsignale können die Gegenwart von Schalteraktivität, wie Drücken- und Loslassen-Ereignisse anzeigen. In Antwort auf detektierte Schalteraktivität oder andere Aktivität in der Vorrichtung können Aktuator-Stellsignale erzeugt werden zum Steuern des Aktuators. Der Nutzer kann Einstellungen eingeben, um die Signalverarbeitung und taktile Rückmeldungsparameter anzupassen.
