Haptic Feedback Vibration Motor for Touch Screen Copy Paste Operations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Portable devices lack effective methods for providing haptic and auditory feedback during touch interactions, particularly for copy and paste commands, which can enhance user experience but are not adequately addressed by existing technologies.
Innovation Solution
A portable apparatus and method that utilize a touch screen and input unit to provide haptic and auditory feedback through vibration motors and audio reproduction units, respectively, in response to copy and paste commands, including visual feedback on the touch screen to facilitate the interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If haptic and auditory feedback are provided during touch interactions, then user experience and interaction clarity are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements haptic feedback through vibration motors and auditory feedback through audio reproduction units in response to touch interactions. The controller detects touch inputs and triggers appropriate feedback mechanisms, creating a closed-loop system that enhances user awareness of copy and paste operations through multiple sensory channels
Solution Approach 2:
The vibration motor and audio reproduction unit serve multiple functions: they provide feedback for copy operations, paste operations, and potentially other touch interactions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each feedback type, thereby managing device complexity while maintaining comprehensive feedback capabilities
2Loss of information
If multiple feedback mechanisms (haptic, auditory, visual) are combined, then interaction clarity is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback through multiple channels (haptic, auditory, visual) but does so selectively based on the specific interaction context. Not all feedback types are activated simultaneously for every operation, allowing the system to maintain information completeness while managing energy consumption through partial activation of available feedback mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The feedback mechanisms are activated periodically or event-driven rather than continuously. The controller triggers haptic and auditory feedback only in response to specific touch interactions such as copy and paste commands, rather than maintaining constant operation, thereby reducing overall energy consumption while preserving feedback effectiveness when needed
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution enhances the user experience by providing clear and intuitive feedback during copy and paste operations, improving usability and interaction with portable devices by combining tactile and auditory cues with visual feedback.
Implementation Method 1
vibrations are generated through vibration elements in the portable apparatus so that a user is provided with a feeling as if a button is physically pressed
Implementation Method 2
auditory feedback from an input unit through a touch interaction generated between the input unit and a portable apparatus

AI summary
A method for controlling an electronic device and an electronic device are provided. The method includes displaying at least one object on a touch screen of the electronic device; identifying a first input at a position corresponding to the at least one object displayed on the touch screen; identifying the at least one object based on the first input; identifying a second input on the touch screen; displaying the identified at least one object at a location on the touch screen of the electronic device based on the identified second input; and providing feedback based on displaying the identified at least one object.
