Publication number: 20250251799Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, and tactile output generator(s) displays a user interface including an adjustable control. The device detects a contact on the adjustable control, where movement of the contact away from the adjustable control changes an adjustment rate for adjusting the adjustable control based on movement of the contact. While continuously detecting the contact, the device detects a movement of the contact. In accordance with a determination that the movement moves more than a threshold amount away from the adjustable control, where the first threshold amount of movement triggers a transition from a first adjustment rate to a second adjustment rate, the device generates a tactile output when reaching the threshold amount and adjusts the adjustable control at the second adjustment rate. Otherwise, the device adjusts the adjustable control at the first adjustment rate without generating any tactile output.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2025Publication date: August 7, 2025Inventors: Imran A. Chaudhri, Sebastian J. Bauer, Gary I. Butcher, Camille Moussette, Jean-Pierre M. Mouilleseaux, Madeleine S. Cordier, Joshua B. Kopin, Miao He

Patent number: 12099672Abstract: An electronic device with a first off-display input region detects a first portion of an input on the input region. In response to the first portion of the input: when the first portion of the input meets first criteria without a characteristic intensity of the first input increasing above a first intensity threshold, the electronic device provides a first output that indicates a current state of a first attribute of the electronic device without altering the first attribute. The electronic device detects a second portion of the input. In response to the second portion of the input: if the second portion of the first input meets second criteria that require the characteristic intensity of the input increases above the first intensity threshold, the electronic device performs a first operation that alters the first attribute of the electronic device; and otherwise, the electronic device forgoes performing the first operation.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Brian T.
