Patent number: 8717151Abstract: Methods and devices provide a tactile output surface that can communicate information to users via their sense of touch. The tactile output surface may include a plurality of tactile elements which may be activated to represent various information in a manner that can be understood by touching the device. A mobile device may present tactile output surfaces on one or multiple surfaces, and the user may touch the device after of tactile feedback functionality to obtain information from the one or more tactile output surfaces. In an embodiment, a mobile device may be configured to obtain information from an information source and present the information on a tactile output surface so that the user can perceive the information without having to look at the device. A variety of technologies may be used to create actuatable tactile elements.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2011Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Babak Forutanpour, David Bednar

Patent number: 8593418Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for detecting a grip event on a touchscreen display and adjusting the displayed content based on the location of the grip event. The content that is covered by a grip event is identified and moved out from under the grip event by adjusting the displayed content layout. The area of the grip event may be determined to allow for adjusting the layout of the displayed. Alerts may be implemented to alert a user when there is a change in a content that is covered by a grip event. The grip event outline may be estimated and menu icons or icons may be positioned and displayed in close contour profile to estimated outline of the grip event. A grip event location may be suggested based on a user's touch habits or display content layout.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2010Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Anthony T. Blow, Babak Forutanpour, Ted R. Gooding, David Bednar

Patent number: 8457651Abstract: Methods and devices provide a gesture activated file sharing functionality enabling users to share files with other nearby computing devices. The file sharing functionality may include establishing wireless links with nearby devices and determine their relative locations. The computing device may detect a file sharing motion of the computing device from accelerometers and transmit files to or request files from a nearby device in response. Base on motion parameters, e.g., direction, speed and/or shape, the computing device may identify a targeted device to which a file may be transmitted or from which a file may be requested. The computing device may request user verification of the identified device and send a request to transmit files to the targeted device. The computing devices may transmit files using networks and addresses provided over the device-to-device communication links.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2009Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Babak Forutanpour, Ted Gooding, David Bednar
