Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one implementation, the present disclosure provides a method for imparting motion to a magnetically movable object. The method includes disposing the magnetically movable object over a display of an electronic device. The method further includes imparting motion to the magnetically movable object by adjusting a magnetic field that is produced by a magnetic field source, the magnetic field being applied to the magnetically movable object through the display of the electronic device. The adjusting the magnetic field can be based on a location of the magnetically movable object over the display. Furthermore, the display can be a touch sensitive display and the adjusting the magnetic field can be based on touch input of the touch sensitive display. The imparting motion can include moving the magnetically movable object around the display.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of moving a magnetically movable object disposed over a touch sensitive display of an electronic device displaying an image on the touch sensitive display, the method comprising: detecting, using the touch sensitive display, the magnetically movable object is touching the image being displayed on the touch sensitive display; and in response to the detecting that the magnetically movable object is touching the image, imparting a repelling motion to…
