  • Patent number: 11500469
    Abstract: An integrated haptic system may include a digital signal processor and an amplifier communicatively coupled to the digital signal processor and integrated with the digital signal processor into the integrated haptic system. The digital signal processor may be configured to receive a force sensor signal indicative of a force applied to a force sensor and generate a haptic playback signal responsive to the force. The amplifier may be configured to amplify the haptic playback signal and drive a vibrational actuator communicatively coupled to the amplifier with the haptic playback signal as amplified by the amplifier.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10248244
    Abstract: A device comprising a touch sensing element and a processing unit is provided. The device has one or more cover operation modes. The processing unit is adapted to activate one of the cover operation modes of the device when a non-conductive opaque cover element is applied to the device, and the device is adapted to be operated via the touch sensing element through the non-conductive opaque cover element when the cover operation mode of the device is active. A system comprising a device and a cover element is provided. A method for controlling a device comprising a touch sensing element is also provided.
