Abstract: Some implementations provide tactile interaction to a user during consumption of content. For instance, when a user accesses a content item on an electronic device having a display, the user may touch the display at a location corresponding to a first feature in a displayed image to generate a first type of tactile output. Moving the user's finger to a location of a second feature of the image may result in a second type of tactile output, different from the first. Additionally, in some implementations, a force of a touch input may be determined, and the tactile output may vary based on the amount of force of the touch input. Further, in some implementations, the tactile output may vary based on a time duration of a touch input.

Abstract: A method for defining effective pixels in an image sensing array of a light-shading optical touch system is proposed. First, light-shading objects are disposed at three end points of a touch panel, and a shaded image is generated by an image sensing array. Light-shading object pixels corresponding to the light-shading objects are obtained from the shaded image thereafter. Next, the light-shading objects are removed from the touch panel, and a non-shaded image is generated by the image sensing array. Three pixel columns corresponding to the end points are obtained from the non-shaded image, and a pixel with maximum intensity is obtained from each of the three pixel columns. Interpolated pixels between the three brightest pixels are obtained through interpolation from the non-shaded image. Image sensing pixels corresponding to the three brightest pixels and the interpolated pixels in the image sensing array are defined as effective pixels.
