Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Providing Haptic Feedback - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18216546 Titled 'Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Providing Haptic Feedback'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes an electronic device with a user interface that has two adjustable controls. The device can detect when a user performs a drag gesture on a touch-sensitive surface. If the drag gesture is performed while the focus selector is on the first adjustable control, the device will provide a specific pattern of tactile feedback. If the drag gesture is performed while the focus selector is on the second adjustable control, the device will provide a different pattern of tactile feedback.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device displays a user interface that includes a first adjustable control and a second adjustable control and detects movement of a first contact across a touch-sensitive surface in a drag gesture. In accordance with a determination that the drag gesture is performed while a focus selector is at a location that corresponds to the first adjustable control: the device outputs a first plurality of tactile outputs that has a first distribution of tactile outputs. In accordance with a determination that the drag gesture is performed while the focus selector is at a location that corresponds to the second adjustable control, the device outputs a second plurality of tactile outputs. The second plurality of tactile outputs has a second distribution of tactile outputs that is different from the first distribution of tactile outputs.
