Publication number: 20230343189Abstract: An electronic device displays a user interface that includes a first adjustable control and a second adjustable control and detects movement of a first contact across a touch-sensitive surface in a drag gesture. In accordance with a determination that the drag gesture is performed while a focus selector is at a location that corresponds to the first adjustable control: the device outputs a first plurality of tactile outputs that has a first distribution of tactile outputs. In accordance with a determination that the drag gesture is performed while the focus selector is at a location that corresponds to the second adjustable control, the device outputs a second plurality of tactile outputs. The second plurality of tactile outputs has a second distribution of tactile outputs that is different from the first distribution of tactile outputs.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Camille Moussette, Duncan R.

Patent number: 11735014Abstract: An electronic device displays a first user interface that includes a plurality of icons of a first type and at least one icon of a second type. While a focus selector is on a first icon of the first type, the device detects movement of a contact in a drag gesture, and, in response, moves the first icon across the display. In accordance with a determination that the first icon moves over one or more other icons of the first type during the drag gesture, the device outputs one or more tactile outputs of a first type. In accordance with a determination that the drag gesture moves the first icon over an icon of the second type at the end of the drag gesture, the device displays a second user interface that corresponds to the icon of the second type and outputs a tactile output of a second type.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Camille Moussette, Duncan R.

Patent number: 11635818Abstract: An electronic device, in response to an input directed to a first user interface displays a second user interface, and in response to continuously detecting a contact on a button while displaying the second user interface, including detecting an increase in a characteristic intensity of the contact above a first intensity threshold, displays a beginning of a transition from the second user interface back to the first user interface. If the contact on the button is part of an input sequence that meets first criteria, the device ceases to display the second user interface and redisplays the first user interface on the display; and if the input sequence meets second criteria, the device reverses the beginning of the transition from the second user interface back to the first user interface, and redisplays the second user interface on the display.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2022Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Camille Moussette, Jean-Pierre Mouilleseaux, Joshua B.

Patent number: 11320910Abstract: A device detects a first press input followed by a second press input on the button. The device provides a first non-visual output in response to the first press input and before the second press input. Depending on the amount of time lag between the first press input and the second press input, the device provides either a second non-visual output in conjunction with performing a first operation or a third non-visual output in conjunction with performing a second operation, where the second non-visual output and the third non-visual output have different output profiles.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2021Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Camille Moussette, Jean-Pierre M.

Patent number: 11086368Abstract: An electronic device detects an input sequence that includes an increase in intensity of an input that corresponds to a first input event. If the input sequence includes a second input event, including a decrease in intensity of the input after the first input event, a long press is not detected and a first operation is performed. If the second input event is not detected within a second time period that is longer than the first time period and the input had a characteristic intensity above a respective intensity threshold between when the first input event was detected and when the second time period elapsed, a long press is detected on an accelerated basis, and a second operation is performed. Finally, a long press is detected if the second input event is not detected within a longer, default time period, and the second operation is performed.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Nicole M.

Patent number: 10775915Abstract: An electronic device detects a change in intensity of an input on an input element that includes detecting an increase in intensity followed by a decrease in intensity, and determines whether the first decrease in intensity of the input meets up-click detection criteria, which require that the intensity of the input decrease below a first up-click intensity threshold in order for the up-click detection criteria to be met. The first up-click intensity threshold is time varying, in accordance with the detected intensity of the input during the first decrease in intensity of the input. If the first decrease in intensity of the input meets the up-click detection criteria, first feedback is provided, indicating that the first decrease in intensity of the input was recognized as an up-click, and if the first decrease in intensity of the input does not meet the up-click detection criteria, the first feedback is not provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Nicole M.

Patent number: 10712826Abstract: An electronic device: while displaying a user interface, detects an input sequence that includes detecting an increase in a characteristic intensity of a contact on a button. In response, the device determines whether the increase is above a first intensity threshold and whether a change in the characteristic intensity proximate to a time when the characteristic intensity increases above the first intensity threshold has a first or a second value for an intensity-change metric. If the increase is above the threshold and the change has the first value, the device performs a first operation that changes the user interface displayed on the display; and generates a first discrete tactile output that corresponds to the increase. If the increase is above the threshold and the change has the second value, the device performs the first operation and generates a second discrete tactile output that corresponds to the increase.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Imran A.

Patent number: 10692333Abstract: An electronic device receives an incoming communication and determines that the device is in a first use context. In response to receiving the incoming communication, the device provides first feedback that includes a first ongoing audio output that corresponds to the first use context and a first ongoing tactile output with a first tactile output profile that corresponds to the first use context. While providing the first ongoing audio output and the first ongoing tactile output, the device detects that the electronic device is in a second use context, different from the first use context. In response to detecting that the electronic device is in the second use context, the device provides second feedback that includes a second ongoing tactile output that has a second tactile output profile that corresponds to the second use context.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Camille Moussette, Duncan R.
