Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
User input is accepted by a force sensing resistor (“FSR”) assembly, a force sensing capacitor (“FSC”) or both. The FSR or FSC assemblies may be located within an input device, such as behind a device exterior, display, and so forth. A force applied to the device exterior proximate to the assembly may result in activation of the assembly. The activation may be processed as input and used to determine and then perform a particular action. The particular action may be based at least in part on a particular portion of the assembly which has been activated, a magnitude of applied force, or both. A haptic output may be provided on activation to provide feedback to a user.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A device comprising: a bezel extending along at least a portion of a perimeter of the device, the bezel having an exterior surface and an interior surface; a force sensing resistor assembly comprising one or more touch zones configured to be responsive to an incident force, wherein the force sensing resistor assembly is proximate to at least a portion of the interior surface of the bezel; a haptic generator configured to generate a haptic output; and a…
