CONTROLLER-LESS QUICK TACTILE FEEDBACK KEYBOARD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

• This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18209906 Titled 'CONTROLLER-LESS QUICK TACTILE FEEDBACK KEYBOARD'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes techniques for providing quick haptic feedback on individual keys of a thin keyboard or keypad, without the need for a controller. The haptic feedback is designed to simulate the tactile sensation of pressing a mechanical key, giving the user the perception that they have actuated a physically movable key. This feedback is intended to enhance the user experience and improve the overall feel of the keyboard or keypad.

Original Abstract Submitted

In some examples, techniques are provided for quick haptic feedback, without the use of a controller, which is local to individual, non-actuating keys, such as keys of a thin keyboard or keypad. The haptic feedback may be in the form of a simulated “key-click” feedback for an individual key that is pressed by a user such that the finger used to press the key feels the tactile sensation. The haptic feedback mimics the tactile sensation of a mechanical key (e.g., buckling spring, pop-dome key switch) to give a user the perception that they have actuated a mechanically movable key.
