SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING TACTILE FEEDBACK TO A USER OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

A system for providing tactile feedback for an input device in an electronic device is provided. The system comprises: an input device having a first input region for receiving a user action from the user; a surface associated with the input device and covering at least a part of the first input region; an input signal generator associated with th e input device; and a physical feature associated with the input region. The physical feature is located on the surface, provides a second input region for receiving the user action and provides a tactile feedback sense to the user when the user contacts the second region. The inp ut signal generator generates a first input signal when the user touches the first inp ut region while not touching second input region and generates a second input signal when the us er touches simultaneously the first and the second input regions.
