Semantic Framework for Variable Haptic Output - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18219625 titled 'Semantic Framework for Variable Haptic Output

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a computing device that receives inputs for a multi-part operation performed by an application.

  • The computing device initiates a haptic output sequence when it receives the input for the first part of the operation.
  • The haptic output sequence continues until the device receives the input for the second part of the operation.
  • Upon receiving the input for the second part, the computing device terminates the ongoing haptic output sequence.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computing device receives an input that corresponds to a first part of a multi-part operation performed by an application executing on the computing device. In response to receiving the input corresponding to the first part of the multi-part operation, the computing device initiates an ongoing haptic output sequence. After initiating the ongoing haptic output sequence, the computing device receives an input that corresponds to a second part of the multi-part operation. In response to receiving the input corresponding to the second part of the multi-part operation, the computing device terminates the ongoing haptic output sequence.
