Input device with haptic effects

A method for providing haptic effects, the method comprising:

• detecting, by an input device, at least one object on a touch surface of the input device using a plurality of haptic elements of the input device, wherein the plurality of haptic elements comprise a plurality of haptic element groups, wherein each respective haptic element group of the plurality of haptic element groups is driven by a respective driving circuits of a plurality of driving circuits of the input device for providing a haptic effect via the touch surface;
• and
• providing, by the input device, a plurality of haptic effects using the plurality of driving circuits and the plurality of haptic element groups, wherein the plurality of haptic effects at least partially overlap in time.

(canceled)

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for providing haptic effects, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate performance of the following:

• detecting, by an input device, at least one object on a touch surface of the input device using a plurality of haptic elements of the input device, wherein the plurality of haptic elements comprise a plurality of haptic element groups, wherein each respective haptic element group of the plurality of haptic element groups is driven by a respective driving circuits of a plurality of driving circuits of the input device for providing a haptic effect via the touch surface;
• and
• providing, by the input device, a plurality of haptic effects using the plurality of driving circuits and the plurality of haptic element groups, wherein the plurality of haptic effects at least partially overlap in time.
