  • Publication number: 20240111365
    Abstract: Delivering a haptic feedback using a capacitance module may include obtaining a location of user input using a capacitive sensor in the capacitance module, determining when to activate a first haptic motor in the capacitance module based on the location of the user input, determining when the activate a second haptic motor in the capacitance module based on the location of the user input, generating a first haptic signal with the first haptic motor at the first determined time, and generating a second haptic signal with the second haptic motor at the second determined time, where the haptic feedback includes the first haptic signal and the second haptic signal.

  • Publication number: 20230185424
    Abstract: Adjusting a cursor speed may include a sensor with at least one capacitance sense electrode, a controller in communication with the sensor, memory in communication with the controller, and programmed instructions stored in the memory and configured, when executed, to cause the capacitance controller to detect movement of an object moving proximate the sensor at an object speed, apply a cursor speed to a cursor depicted in a display based at least in part on a cursor-to-object speed relationship, detect a trigger event in the detected object movement, and change the cursor-to-object speed relationship in response to detecting the trigger event.
