Haptically enabled overlay for a pressure sensitive surface
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a processor;
a pressure sensitive touch surface comprising a sensor configured to detect a user touch; and
an overlay comprising a tactile user interface and a haptic output device, the overlay being configured to provide a haptic effect in response to the user touch, the haptic effect being spatially decoupled from the user touch such that the user touch is received in a first region of the overlay and the haptic effect is rendered at a second region of the overlay.

7. A method for rendering a haptic effect that is based on a user touch, the method comprising:
-
detecting the user touch on a pressure sensitive touch surface having a sensor; and providing the haptic effect in response to the user touch on an overlay comprising a tactile user interface and a haptic output device, the haptic effect being spatially decoupled from the user touch such that the user touch is received in a first region of the overlay and the haptic effect is rendered at a second region of the overlay. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by a processor, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
-
detecting a user touch on a pressure sensitive touch surface having a sensor; and providing a haptic effect in response to the user touch on an overlay comprising a tactile user interface and a haptic output device, the haptic effect being spatially decoupled from the user touch such that the user touch is received in a first region of the overlay and the haptic effect is rendered at a second region of the overlay. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
