THRESHOLDS FOR DETERMINING FEEDBACK IN COMPUTING DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for varying output of a computing device, comprising:
- receiving an input signal;
determining, by a processor, a down-stroke threshold for providing a first output;
determining, by the processor, an up-stroke threshold for providing a second output;
whereinat least one of the down-stroke threshold or the up-stroke threshold is determined based on the input signal; and
the up-stroke threshold is related to the down-stroke threshold.

Abstract
The present application is related to a computer for providing output to a user. The computer includes a processor and an input device in communication with the processor. The input device includes a feedback surface and at least one sensor in communication with the feedback surface, the at least one sensor configured to detect a user input to the feedback surface. The processor varies a down-stroke threshold based on a first factor and varies an up-stroke threshold based on a second factor. The down-stroke threshold determines a first output of the computing device, the up-stroke threshold determines a second output of the computing device, and at least one of the first factor or the second factor are determined based on the user input.
