    摘要: A method, an application launcher, an operating system and a portable multifunction device, in which a long touch of a touch-sensitive display causes the portable multifunction device to (a) briefly vibrate, thereby signaling to the user that the continuous touch has been recognized by the portable multifunction device, and (b) perform an action in a GUI of the portable multifunction device, based on a location of the long touch.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system for simulating a reaction force from a virtual object. The system at least comprises an input force sensor, calculating means connected to the input force sensor, at least a first pair (201a, 201b) of linear resonant actuators (LRAs) and a driver for the LRAs connected to the calculating means. The input force sensor is to sense an input force applied to the virtual object by a user. The calculating means is to receive the input force from the input force sensor and to calculate the reaction force to apply to the user. The pair of LRAs (201a, 201b) are constrained to move along a first axis (Y). The driver is to receive from the calculating means drive signals to alternately drive each one of the pair of LRAs (201a, 201b) in a first direction along the first axis by an amount determined by the reaction force, whilst allowing the other one of the pair of LRAs to recover more gently in a direction opposite to the first direction. The invention also provides a corresponding method of simulating a reaction force from a virtual object and a mobile device (101) at least comprising such a system.

    摘要: An electronic device for providing tactile feedback is provided. The electronic device may provide tactile feedback using any suitable approach, including for example vibration, heat, electrical, visual, or any other type of feedback. The electronic device may provide tactile feedback in response to detecting any particular status of the electronic device, receiving any particular input, or detecting any suitable communication received by the electronic device. For example, the electronic device may provide tactile feedback in response to identifying the current network of the device, the status of a particular electronic device component, or any other electronic device status. As another example, the electronic device may provide tactile feedback in response to receiving a particular type of communication, or in response to receiving a communication from a particular contact. As still another example, the electronic device may provide tactile feedback in response to receiving a particular user input, or to detecting a user's finger on a particular portion of the electronic device.
