Audio and tactile feedback based on visual environment
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a housing section;
electronic circuitry mounted within the housing section;
a touch screen on the housing section, wherein the touch screen is configured to sense a touch at an area of the touch screen, and wherein the electronic circuitry is configured to analyze a feature displayed at the area of the touch screen; and
a user sensory feedback system proximate the housing section, wherein the user sensory feedback system is configured to perform an operation based, at least partially, upon the touch at the area of the touch screen and upon an image analysis of the feature at the area of the touch screen.

25. A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine for performing operations to provide feedback based on a feature displayed on a touch screen, the operations comprising:
-
sensing a touch at an area of the touch screen; analyzing a feature displayed at the area of the touch screen; and operating a user sensory feedback system based, at least partially, upon the sensed touch at the area of the touch screen and upon a determined texture direction and/or or a graphical change, at the analyzed feature displayed at the area of the touch screen.
