Abstract
In one example, a method includes receiving, by a computing device, an indication of a detected force applied to the computing device. The method further comprises determining, by the computing device, that the detected force matches a corresponding input that the computing device associates with a corresponding function that is executable by the computing device. The method further comprises generating, by the computing device and in response to determining that the detected force matches the corresponding input and, a non-visual output based on the corresponding function.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, an indication of a detected force applied to the computing device;
- determining, by the computing device, that the detected force matches a corresponding input that the computing device associates with a corresponding function that is executable by the computing device;
- and
- generating, by the computing device and in response to determining that the detected force matches the corresponding input, a non-visual output based on the corresponding function.
A computing device, comprising:
- at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- receive, by the at least one processor, an indication of a detected force applied to the computing device;
- determine, by the at least one processor, that the detected force matches a corresponding input that the at least one processor associates with a corresponding function that is executable by the at least one processor;
- and
- generate, in response to determining that the detected force matches the corresponding input and by the at least one processor, a non-visual output based on the corresponding function.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that are executable by at least one processor to:
- receive, by the at least one processor, an indication of a detected force applied to a computing device;
- determine, by the at least one processor, that the detected force matches a corresponding input that the at least one processor associates with a corresponding function that is executable by the at least one processor;
- and
- generate, in response to determining that the detected force matches the corresponding input and by the at least one processor, a non-visual output based on the corresponding function.
