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.

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. \ 0 CY)

Abstract: Un dispositivo portátil de computación incluye por lo menos una porción base de un material de peso ligero que incluye una cubierta superior en forma de cuña acoplada a una cubierta inferior. El dispositivo portátil de computación también incluye una porción de tapa conectada de manera pivotante a la porción base por un ensamble de bisagra. La porción de tapa tiene una pantalla en comunicación con uno o más componentes en la porción base mediante uno o más conductores eléctricos. Un panel sensible al tacto situado en la porción base incluye una capa de vidrio unida encima de una capa estética, una capa sensorial para detectar entradas de datos mediante una superficie superior de la capa de vidrio, circuitos electrónicos para procesar señales, y una interfaz de conexión para conectar los circuitos electrónicos a una tarjeta madre. La capa de vidrio proporciona una rigidez estructural principal para el panel sensible al tacto.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure 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 5 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 10 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 15 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: 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.
