Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device provides a haptic waveform component of a haptic notification at a full low power headroom followed by an audio waveform component of the haptic notification at the full low power headroom. In this way, the amplitude of each of the waveform components may be maximized as much as is allowed by the device's low power constraints while the proximity of the waveform components in time may still cause them to be perceived by people as provided at more or less the same time. As a result, the haptic notification may be more salient while staying within the device's low power constraints.
