    摘要: A human-machine interface device that includes a touch-sensitive device having a touch-sensitive surface, a rotatable control knob axially movable between a high position, an intermediate position, and a low position, the control knob being electrically connected with the touch-sensitive surface permanently via a first contact element. The control knob is electrically connected with the touch-sensitive surface via a second contact element in the high position and the intermediate position but not in the low position, and the control knob is electrically connected to the touch-sensitive surface via a third contact element in the upper position but not in the intermediate position and the low position.

    摘要: A foldable-display type portable terminal has a flexible display mounted thereon and can be folded and unfolded by an external force. The portable terminal includes a body having a first panel, an adjacent second panel, and a hinge part between and connecting the first and second panels, permitting the first and second panels to rotate with respect to each other. A flexible display on the upper surface of the body folds with the first and second panels when the first and second panels are folded about the hinge part. In one alternative, a support member beneath the flexible display covers the upper part of the hinge part and supports the lower part of the flexible display. In another alternative, a support rotatably installed at the body is arranged inside the body and folded at the upper part of the flexible display when the first and second panels are folded.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for ultrasonic haptic array devices. One embodiment of haptic array device includes a plurality of cells, each cell including a base and an array of ultrasonic transducer elements, and a support structure configured to independently position each cell. A controller of the haptic array can control a focus point and a direction of ultrasonic output for each of the plurality of cells. Another embodiment is directed to a vehicle user interface having a user interface surface and a haptic array device integrated with the user interface surface. Embodiments are also directed to methods for controlling a haptic array device. One method includes controlling output of at least one first cell of the plurality of cells to control a focus point and a direction of ultrasonic output of the at least one cell, and updating output of the plurality of cells.
