Abstract: A haptic device is configured to obtain a predetermined distance and establish a contact position. The haptic device may monitor sensor data in order to determine an activity using a content module and access a lookup table to associate a contact position with the determined activity. A position module will monitor the position of the haptic device and detect when the haptic device is at the contact position. At the contact position, the haptic device will produce a haptic effect. In some embodiments, a display device may be in communication with the haptic device in order to transmit and receive data.

Abstract: A biometric device configured to perform operations associated with biometric characteristics. A non-volatile, non-transitory memory within the device will contain enrolled biometric templates related to a biometric measurable by a biometric sensor. The enrolled biometric templates are associated with at least one predetermined operation the device can perform. In some embodiments, a combination of two or more enrolled biometric templates may be associated with a predetermined activity different from predetermined activities associated with the each enrolled biometric template. One method includes extracting biometric features from biometric data and generating a biometric template. An output signal will be provided based on the predetermined operation associated with an enrolled biometric template matching a generated biometric template. The output signal may be sent to internal components of the biometric device or to a second device over a wired or wireless link.
