Abstract

A method includes determining an adjustable response setting for an electronic device, detecting a touch event on a touch-sensitive display of the electronic device, and imparting, by an actuator, a first force on the touch-sensitive display by increasing the first force over a ramp-up time period and reducing the first force over a depression time period, to simulate actuation of a switch based on the adjustable response setting.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to portable electronic devices that include touch-sensitive input devices and provide tactile feedback for such input devices. Background technique [0002] Electronic devices, including portable electronic devices, are in widespread use and are capable of providing a variety of functions including, for example, telephony, electronic messaging, and other personal information manager (PIM) application functions. Portable electronic devices can include several types of devices, including mobile stations, such as simple cellular phones, smart phones, wireless PDAs, and laptop computers with wireless 802.11 or Bluetooth capabilities. Touch-sensitive input devices can be used for input on portable electronic devices. [0003] Devices such as PDAs or smart phones are typically intended for handheld use and are portable. For portability, smaller devices are generally desired. Because such handheld devices are small, ...
