Abstract
A system for actively resisting touch-induced motion includes a touchscreen device and a processing circuit. The touchscreen device includes one or more sensors configured to generate motion data based on a motion of a touchscreen display of the touchscreen device, where the motion is induced by a touch on the display. The touchscreen device further includes one or more motion control devices configured to apply a force to the display. The processing circuit is configured to determine, based on the motion data, a force to counteract the motion. The processing circuit is further configured to cause the motion control devices to apply a force to the display to counteract the motion of the display.
Claims49
A system for actively resisting touch-induced motion, comprising:
- a touchscreen device, comprising:
- a sensor configured to generate motion data associated with motion of a touchscreen display of the touchscreen device, wherein the motion is induced by a touch on the display;
- and
- a motion control device configured to apply a force to the display;
- and
- a processing circuit configured to:
- determine, based on the motion data, a force to counteract the motion;
- and
- cause the motion control device to apply the force to the display to counteract the motion of the display.

A display system for actively resisting touch-induced motion, comprising:
- a touchscreen:
- a processing circuit configured to:
- predict a future touch location on the touchscreen corresponding to an expected touch;
- predict a future motion of the touchscreen based on the expected touch;
- determine, based on the future motion and the future touch location, a force to counteract the motion;
- and
- cause a motion control device to apply the force to the touchscreen.
