Force-Based Input Device Having a Dynamic User Interface

摘要

A touch-based input device is disclosed comprising a touch-sensing element configured to register a touch on said touch-sensing element and at least one sensor operably connected to the touch-sensing element and configured to measure said touch, wherein said sensor is further configured to generate a signal corresponding to the detection of said touch. The input device further comprises a dynamic component operably connected to the touch-sensing element, said dynamic component configured to apply a dynamic force to the touch-sensing element without registering a detectable touch on said touch-sensing element while concurrently allowing detection of an external stimulus on the touch-sensing element.
