An electronic device may include an enclosure having an outer surface with a defined interaction zone, wherein a user interaction with the defined interaction zone causes a deflection of a mechanical member of the electronic device, a haptic actuator mechanically mounted to an inner surface of the enclosure at the defined interaction zone, and a sensor located proximately to the inner surface of the enclosure and configured to detect the deflection, wherein the haptic actuator is further configured to generate a haptic response responsive to the user interaction upon detection of the deflection by the sensor.
An electronic device comprising:
A method, in an electronic device comprising an enclosure having an outer surface with a defined interaction zone, wherein a user interaction with the defined interaction zone causes a deflection of a mechanical member of the electronic device and comprising a haptic actuator mechanically mounted to an inner surface of the enclosure at the defined interaction zone, the method comprising:
