Systems and methods for providing haptic feedback with position sensing
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a first brake surface;
a second brake surface configured to contact the first brake surface; and
an actuator comprising. an electromagnetic coil having a generally circular cross-section with a flattened portion; and
an actuator surface defining a cavity, the cavity configured to receive a sensing device, and the flattened portion positioned adjacent to the sensing device and where, the actuator is configured to exert a force on at least one of the first and second brake surfaces to produce a haptic effect.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing haptic feedback with position sensing are described. In one described system, a first and second brake surfaces are configured to contact each other. An actuator may be configured to exert a force on at least one of the first and second brake surfaces in order to produce a haptic effect. The actuator comprises an actuator surface. The actuator surface defines a cavity configured to receive a sensing device. The first brake surface may comprise a coding from which the sensing device can sense relative movement of the first brake surface with respect to the sensing device. The described system may comprise a processor in communication with the actuator and the sensing device to control the actuator in providing the haptic effects.
