Abstract

Systems and methods for providing a touch sensor include a dynamic suspension system to enable the touch sensor to emulate the tactile sensation that a user feels when using pushbutton switches, wherein a touch sensor is combined with at least one snap dome and a post inside the snap dome to keep the touch sensor rigid until the touch sensor is allowed to be displaced when a force is applied, andthen the post is retracted or released to enable movement of the touch sensor and the snap dome are disclosed. Also disclosed are systems and methods for a clickable touchpad that enables the clickable function to be selectively locked or unlocked in accordance with detected or sensed conditions are disclosed.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 614,115, filed January 5, 2018, and entitled "Dynamic Suspension Over a Touch Sensor," and Serial No. 62, filed August 2, 2018 / 713,754 and entitled "Passive Haptic Feedback," the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to clickable touchpads. In particular, the present disclosure relates to methods for simulating the feel of a button switch when using a touch sensor by providing a dynamic suspension system, and for providing a system that enables clickable functions to be selectively locked or unlocked based on detected or sensed conditions. Systems and methods for a clickable touchpad. Background technique [0004] When using a touch sensor, tactile button clicks can be an effective way to provide tactile feedback to the user when a button press is performed. H...
