ACTUATING HAPTIC ELEMENT ON A TOUCH-SENSITIVE DEVICE

摘要

In one aspect, an apparatus includes a housing, a haptic element on at least a portion of the housing that has a non-discrete configuration and at least a first discrete configuration, a processor, a touch-enabled display operatively coupled to the processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to initiate a function at the apparatus, and at least in part in response to initiation of the function, actuate a portion of the haptic element.

主权项

1. A device, comprising:
a processor; a haptic component which changes between a non-discrete configuration and at least a first discrete configuration, the haptic component being accessible to the processor; and storage accessible to the processor and bearing instructions executable by the processor to: execute a function at a device; in response to execution of the function, determine that the function is a function for which the haptic component is manipulable to provide input associated with the function; and in response to the determination that the function is a function for which the haptic component is manipulable to provide input associated with the function, command the haptic component to assume the first discrete configuration.
