Portable electronic device and method of providing haptic feedback

A method of providing haptic feedback at a portable electronic device including a display housing including a touch-sensitive display, and a keyboard housing moveably coupled to the display housing such that the keyboard is moveable relative to the touch-sensitive display, the keyboard housing including an actuator and a physical keyboard comprising mechanical keys depressible to enter characters associated with the mechanical keys, and touch sensors for detecting touches on the mechanical keys absent depression of the mechanical keys, the method comprising:

• detecting a first touch on the physical keyboard wherein the first touch is detected when the physical keyboard is in a first position in which the physical keyboard is exposed for use;
• in response to detecting the first touch on the physical keyboard, which physical keyboard is moveable relative to the touch-sensitive display, between the first position in which the physical keyboard is exposed for use and a second position in which the physical keyboard is not exposed, wherein a force of the first touch is insufficient to cause depression of any of the mechanical keys to enter any of the characters associated with the mechanical keys, and the first touch is associated with haptic feedback, providing first haptic feedback to the physical keyboard by actuating the actuator disposed in the keyboard housing, at a first intensity;
• in response to detecting that the physical keyboard is in the first position in which the physical keyboard is exposed for use, disabling haptic feedback in response to touches on the touch-sensitive display, and
• detecting a second touch on the touch-sensitive display wherein the second touch is detected when the physical keyboard is exposed for use, and wherein haptic feedback is not provided in response to detecting the second touch on the touch-sensitive display;
• detecting that the physical keyboard is in the second position in which the physical keyboard is not exposed;
• in response to detecting that the physical keyboard is in the second position in which the physical keyboard is not exposed, enabling haptic feedback in response to touches on the touch-sensitive display;
• detecting a third touch on the touch-sensitive display when the physical keyboard is in the second position in which the physical keyboard is not exposed;
• in response to detecting d the third touch on the touch-sensitive display when the physical keyboard is in the second position in which the physical keyboard is not exposed, wherein the third touch is associated with haptic feedback, providing second haptic feedback to the touch-sensitive display by actuating the actuator disposed in the keyboard housing at a second intensity, wherein the second intensity is greater than the first intensity, such that haptic feedback is provided to the touch- sensitive display disposed in the display housing, which is different than the keyboard housing in which the actuator is disposed.
