METHOD FOR ACTUATING A TACTILE INTERFACE LAYER |
摘要 |
One variation of the method includes registering interaction with a dynamic tactile interface including a tactile layer and a substrate, the tactile layer defining a tactile surface, a deformable region, and a peripheral region adjacent the deformable region and coupled to the substrate opposite the tactile surface, the method including: detecting an orientation of the device; predicting a location of an upcoming input related to a native application executing on the device; selecting a particular deformable region from a set of deformable regions, the particular deformable region substantially coincident the input location; selectively transitioning the particular deformable region from a retracted setting into an expanded setting, the deformable region substantially flush with the peripheral region in the retracted setting and tactilely distinguishable from the peripheral region in the expanded setting; and detecting an input, corresponding to the upcoming input, on the particular deformable region. |

1. A method for registering interaction with a dynamic tactile interface comprising a tactile layer and a substrate, the tactile layer defining a tactile surface, a deformable region, and a peripheral region adjacent the deformable region and coupled to the substrate opposite the tactile surface, the method comprising:
predicting a location of an upcoming input related to a native application executing on the device; selecting a particular deformable region from a set of deformable regions, the particular deformable region substantially coincident the input location; selectively transitioning the particular deformable region from a retracted setting into an expanded setting, the deformable region substantially flush with the peripheral region in the retracted setting and tactilely distinguishable from the peripheral region in the expanded setting; and detecting an input, corresponding to the upcoming input, on the particular deformable region. |
