Patent number: 11797110Abstract: In an embodiment, a system implements detent operation using tactile and audio effects that give the user the effect of a detent without including the mechanical devices that detents would normally imply. The detent operation may be implemented in software and may be synchronized to events on the display of the system (e.g. animation events), which may provide a convincing user experience. A low latency path from the applications and user interface program of the system to the hardware that implements the detent operation may be provided to help ensure that the synchronization of animation events and detent operations is maintained.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Hernan R. Eguiluz, Michael J. Lamb, Kevin Tyler McAtee, Dylan R. Edwards

Publication number: 20220004312Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device in communication with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a user interface, and while displaying the user interface, the electronic device receives touch input comprising a contact detected on the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the touch input, and in accordance with a determination that the touch input satisfies first criteria, wherein the first criteria include a requirement that the contact continues to be detected in a predefined region of the touch-sensitive surface for longer than a time threshold, the electronic device displays a first indication that further input of a first type detected at the touch sensitive surface will cause the device to display a first system user interface. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the touch input does not satisfy the first criteria, the electronic device forgoes displaying the first indication.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2021Publication date: January 6, 2022Inventors: Jonathan P. IVE, Ari Y. BENBASAT, Daniel Max STRONGWATER, Marco TRIVERIO, Matthew SUNDSTROM, Todd J. LITTLEJOHN, Taylor G. CARRIGAN, Kevin Tyler MCATEE
