Embodiment Construction

[0061] figure 1 is a flowchart exemplarily showing a control flow of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] Step 101 is the starting point. Step 102 includes determining a starting point, ie the surface location at which an input means (device), such as a stylus or a user's finger, is currently touching the user interface surface.

[0063] The information about the starting position obtained in step 102 is then compared in step 103 with the target position. The target location has been, for example, previously generated by a computer and is the most likely location to be targeted by the user in the current usage scenario. In this case, the target location is determined based on prior knowledge.

[0064] Step 104 consists in checking whether the input device has reached the target position, ie whether the starting position is the same as the target position. If so, the process terminates at step 105 . If not, the direction from the starting position to ...

Abstract

This invention relates to a method, apparatuses and a computer-readable medium having a computer program stored thereon, the method, apparatuses and computer program using a haptic signal perceptible by a user contacting a user interface surface with an input means (device) to indicate a predetermined direction on the user interface surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the generation of haptic signals for indicating to a user the direction of the location of a user interface surface. Background technique [0002] User interfaces are used in a variety of applications. It is used to provide user instructions to computers, mobile phones, TV set-top boxes or personal digital assistants etc. For example, in industrial applications, user interfaces are used to control manufacturing processes. [0003] Many user interface technologies rely on input devices that contact the user interface surface. Falling into this category are keyboards that have buttons that are intended to be pressed by a user in order to cause, for example, a computer processor to perform a specific action. In this case, the generated signal is an electrical signal. Typically, different buttons are associated with different actions performed by the processor. [0004] Other user interfaces are eg touch pads or touch ...
