Abstract
The invention relates to a method and an electric device comprising a screen, cooperating with said screen a sensor for detecting a presence of an object on or close to said screen, a controller and a feedback element. The controller is configured to interpret said presence of the object and calculate a force value and control said feedback element to provide a feedback with respect to the force value.
Claims23
An electric device comprising:
- a force and touch sensitive screen configured to detect and output a detection signal representing a force generated by an object interacting with the force and touch sensitive screen;
- a haptic feedback element configured to generate a haptic feedback;
- a controller configured to control the haptic feedback element based on the force generated by the object interacting with the force and touch sensitive screen.
An electric device comprising:
- a force and touch sensitive screen configured to detect and output a detection signal representing a force generated by an object interacting with the force and touch sensitive screen;
- a haptic feedback element configured to generate a haptic feedback;
- a controller configured to control the haptic feedback element based on the force generated by the object interacting with the force and touch sensitive screen, wherein the amplitude of the haptic feedback is dependent on the force generated by the object interacting with the force and touch sensitive screen, wherein the detection signal is proportional to a magnitude of the force generated by the object interacting with the force and touch sensitive screen.
An electric device comprising:
- a force and touch sensitive screen configured to detect and output a detection signal representing a force generated by an object interacting with the force and touch sensitive screen;
- a haptic feedback element configured to generate a haptic feedback;
- a controller configured to control the haptic feedback element based on the force generated by the object interacting with the force and touch sensitive screen, wherein the frequency of the haptic feedback is dependent on the force generated by the object interacting with the force and touch sensitive screen;
- wherein the detection signal is proportional to the force generated by the object interacting with the force and touch sensitive screen.
A method for controlling haptic feedback for an electronic device, the method comprising:
- a controller for controlling a haptic feedback element based on a force generated by an object interacting with a force and touch sensitive screen, wherein the controller controls the haptic feedback element to produce an amplitude of haptic feedback that is proportional to the force generated by the object interacting with the force and touch sensitive screen.
