Method for Providing an Active Haptic Feedback Signal for an Operating Element - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18499321 titled 'Method for Providing an Active Haptic Feedback Signal for an Operating Element
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes methods, systems, and apparatuses for providing active haptic feedback signals to an operating element when it is actuated and a function is assigned to it.
- The system determines if the operating element is actuated.
- It also determines if a function is assigned to the operating element.
- The active haptic feedback signal is only output when both conditions are met.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Active haptic feedback provided upon actuation of the operating element.
- Determination of actuation of the operating element.
- Determination of function assignment to the operating element.
- Output of haptic feedback signal only when both conditions are met.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various devices such as smartphones, gaming controllers, and touch-sensitive interfaces.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for precise and timely haptic feedback in devices with operating elements.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user experience with tactile feedback.
- Improved interaction with devices.
- Increased efficiency in performing functions.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include consumer electronics, gaming devices, medical equipment, and industrial control systems.
Prior Art: No information provided on prior art related to this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: No information provided on frequently updated research relevant to this technology.
Questions about Active Haptic Feedback Technology: 1. How does active haptic feedback enhance user interaction with devices? 2. What are the key factors considered in determining when to output the haptic feedback signal?
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for providing an active haptic feedback signal for an operating element upon actuation of the operating element. Whether the operating element is actuated is determined. Whether a function is assigned to the operating element, if actuation of the operating element has been determined, is determined. The active haptic feedback signal is output to the operating element only in those cases in which actuation of the operating element has been determined and that a function is assigned to the operating element has been determined.
