Stylus haptic component

A stylus for use with a computing device comprising a first display and a second display that are separated by a gap, the stylus comprising:

• a haptic feedback component within the stylus;
• a logic processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to actuate the haptic feedback component while the stylus crosses the gap between the first display and the second display, the instructions executable to:
• detect one or more haptic triggering criteria;
• at least on condition of detecting the one or more haptic triggering criteria, actuate the haptic feedback component to produce haptic output;
• determine a width of the gap between the first display and the second display;
• using the width of the gap, a stylus velocity, and a stylus direction, calculate a crossing time for a tip of the stylus to cross the gap;
• at a first time after actuating the haptic feedback component, determine that the one or more haptic triggering criteria are not detected;
• at least on condition of determining that the one or more haptic triggering criteria are not detected, continue to actuate the haptic feedback component for the crossing time.

A method for actuating a haptic feedback component in a stylus while the stylus crosses a gap between a first display and a second display of a computing device, the method comprising:

• detecting one or more haptic triggering criteria, wherein the haptic triggering criteria comprise one or more criteria selected from a pressure signal, an electrostatic signal from the first display or the second display, and a hover indication;
• at least on condition of detecting the one or more haptic triggering criteria, actuating the haptic feedback component to produce haptic output;
• determining a width of the gap between the first display and the second display;
• using the width of the gap, a stylus velocity, and a stylus direction, calculating a crossing time for a tip of the stylus to cross the gap;
• at a first time after actuating the haptic feedback component, determining that the one or more haptic triggering criteria are not detected;
• at least on condition of determining that the one or more haptic triggering criteria are not detected, continuing to actuate the haptic feedback component for the crossing time;
• at the expiration of the crossing time, detecting the one or more haptic triggering criteria;
• and
• on condition of detecting the one or more haptic triggering criteria at the expiration of the crossing time, continuing to actuate the haptic feedback component.
