First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile electronic device characterized in that:
- a multi-touch display, in communication with a controller component within the mobile electronic device, is configured to display an image;
the controller component is configured to substantially individually control tactile areas on the multi-touch display;
the mobile electronic device is configured to associate the image with a tactile area, wherein the tactile area has a substantially individually programmable tactile vibration pattern;
wherein the image is automatically placed in a new tactile area, by the mobile electronic device, in association with a sensor detected rotation of the mobile electronic device; and
wherein, subsequent to the rotation, the image is automatically associated by the mobile electronic device with the substantially individually programmable tactile vibration pattern.

Abstract
A mobile electronic device that substantially individually controls tactile areas on a multi-touch display is disclosed. An image is associated with a tactile area. The tactile area may have a substantially individually programmable tactile vibration pattern. Subsequent to a rotation, the image may be automatically associated by the mobile electronic device with the substantially individually programmable tactile vibration pattern in a new tactile area.
