Using the sense of touch to enhance and enhance such interactions has been limited
Most interactions involving flexible displays are characterized by continuous input on the display in the form of morphing gestures, but such interactions provide only passive tactile sensations to the user, which do not necessarily correspond to or correlate to UI events in a digital environment. couplet

Abstract

One illustrative system disclosed herein includes a touch-sensitive surface (116, Fig. 1 ), which includes: a first surface 202; and a second surface 206 adjacent to the first surface, wherein the second surface is or can be arranged to be non-coplanar with the first surface. The illustrative system also includes a haptic output device (118, Fig. 1 ) configured to receive a haptic signal and output a haptic effect. Further, the illustrative system includes a processor (102, Fig. 1 ) coupled to the haptic output device and the touch-sensitive surface, the processor configured to: determine an event; determine the haptic effect based at least in part on the event; determine the haptic signal based at least in part on the haptic effect; and transmit the haptic signal associated with the haptic effect to the haptic output device.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 816,605, filed April 26, 2013, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to passive stiffness and active deformation haptic output devices for flexible displays. Background technique [0004] Flexible displays (including digital displays that can bend, fold, and / or roll) are being developed and may enable more intuitive and lifelike digital user interface interactions, just like those that occur in the real world. The use of haptics to enhance and enhance such interactions has been limited. Most interactions involving flexible displays are characterized by continuous input on the display in the form of morphing gestures, but such interactions provide only passive tactile sensations to the user, which do not necessarily correspond to or correlate to UI event...
