AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Interaction on touchscreen handhelds is typically limited to x and y coordinates on the touchscreen display
Although additional interactions can be added in the z-plane to measure touch force, due to the usual two-handed operation (i.e., holding the device with one hand and interacting with the other hand), interactions with the handheld device There are still large limitations in
As a result, it can be difficult to perform two-handed manipulation, which is often required when a user is trying to select a small target or when manipulating an on-screen target requires fine dynamic motion

Embodiment Construction

[0026] The detailed description set forth below in connection with the accompanying figures is intended as a description of various configurations and is not intended to represent the only configurations in which the concepts described herein may be practiced. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of various concepts. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that these concepts may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and components are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the concepts.

[0027] Before the advent of touch screens, handheld devices (e.g., mobile devices) were often designed for one-handed operation because during many usage scenarios and environments (e.g., carrying groceries, holding a child's hand, etc.), moving Users often do not have two hands available.

[0028] Although some users can interact with touchsc...

Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to handheld devices equipped with force sensor arrays arranged along two sides of the device that can provide novel user interfaces for operating the device. The sensor may be configured to: recognize various grip patterns, gestures, and biometric information of a user operating the device. Using force sensor arrays in addition to touch screens provides a new paradigm for operating handheld devices.

Description

[0001] priority statement [0002] This application for patent claims priority to non-provisional application No. 13 / 866,502, entitled "Grip Force Sensor Array for One-Handed and Multimodal Interaction on Handheld Devices and Methods," filed April 19, 2013, and said application is assigned to the assignee herein, and as if fully set forth hereinafter in its entirety and for all applicable purposes, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to user interfaces for handheld devices, and more particularly, to user interfaces for handheld devices utilizing force sensors. Background technique [0004] Touch screen displays are a ubiquitous user interface in recent handheld devices (eg, cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), smart phones, portable multimedia players (PMPs), tablet computers, digital video cameras, etc.). Interaction on touch screen handheld devices is typically li...
