Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems fail to analyze or process user interactions with touch screens to generate meaningful responses, limiting the user experience.

Innovation Solution

A haptic system that determines haptic characteristics from user interactions, generates images depicting these characteristics, and modifies graphical elements on the user interface accordingly, reducing the need for multiple server requests.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the system processes user interactions with touch screens to generate meaningful responses, then user experience is enhanced, but computing resources and server interactions increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidcomputing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the interaction analysis into local processing (haptic characteristics extraction) and selective server communication. By dividing the processing tasks and handling only essential data transmission to the server, the system enhances user experience through responsive feedback while minimizing computing resource consumption and server interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the system generates dynamic haptic feedback responses, then user experience is enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by analyzing haptic characteristics from user interactions and generating appropriate visual responses. This feedback mechanism enhances user experience by providing meaningful responses to user actions while maintaining manageable system complexity through focused analysis of specific haptic parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

In various example embodiments, a system and method for generating a response that depicts haptic characteristics are presented. Haptic data is received from a client device and the haptic data indicates an interaction with a sensor included in the client device. Haptic characteristics are determined based on the haptic data. At least one image that depicts the determined haptic characteristics is generated. And the at least one image is caused to be displayed on the client device.
