1. A computer-implemented user interface system in a computing device, the system comprising:
- a graphical user interface arranged to receive input that includes a term from a user, the interface having a display to present information responsive to the input from the user;
a computer processor connected to non-transitory memory storing instructions to implement a text corrector to identify likely errors in the term input from the user, and to suggest corrections to the term input from the user; and
a haptic feedback device and controller arranged to provide a movement of the device upon an identification by the processor of a likely error in the term input from the user,wherein the haptic feedback device is arranged to be energized by selecting from between a first mode of energizing the haptic feedback device when a replacement for the term is identified, and a second mode of energizing the haptic feedback device that provides different haptic feedback than does the first mode when a replacement for the term is not identified.

Abstract
A computer-implemented tactile feedback method includes receiving user input on a computing device, identifying a term input by the user that does not match a term known to the device, accessing an auto-correction service in order to provide a replacement for the term, and energizing a haptic feedback device in response to identifying the term input by the user that does not match a known term.

7. A computer-implemented user interface system in a computing device, the system comprising:
-
a graphical user interface arranged to receive input that includes a term from a user, the interface having a display to present information responsive to the input from the user; a computer processor connected to non-transitory memory storing instructions to implement a text corrector to identify likely errors in the term input from the user, and to suggest corrections to the term input from the user; a haptic feedback device; and means for energizing the haptic feedback device in coordination with identification of unrecognized information in the term input from the user, wherein the haptic feedback device is arranged to be energized by selecting from between a first mode of energizing the haptic feedback device when a replacement for the term is identified, and a second mode of energizing the haptic feedback device that provides different haptic feedback than does the first mode when a replacement for the term is not identified.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, by a computing device, first user input that specifies a first term; presenting, by the computing device with a graphical user interface, the first term responsive to the first user input; identifying, by the computing device, likely error in the first term specified by the first user input; determining, by the computing device, that a replacement term is identified for the first term; energizing, by the computing device, a haptic feedback device with a first mode of energizing the haptic feedback device responsive to having determined that a replacement term is identified for the first term; receiving, by the computing device, second user input that specifies a second term; presenting, by the computing device with the graphical user interface, the second term responsive to the second user input; identifying, by the computing device, likely error in the second term specified by the second user input; determining, by the computing device, that a replacement term is not identified for the second term; and energizing, by the computing device, the haptic feedback device with a second mode of energizing the haptic feedback device responsive to having determined that a replacement term is not identified for the second term. - View Dependent Claims (9)
