Apparatus and method for touch screen interaction based on tactile feedback and pressure measurement

TLDR
In this article, a display section with a touch screen is adapted to display at least one graphical user interface object and detect a touch position on the touch screen, and a pressure sensing unit is used to detect pressure applied to the screen.
Abstract
An apparatus includes a display section with a touch screen, and the touch screen is adapted to display at least one graphical user interface object and detect a touch position on the touch screen. The apparatus has a haptic feedback generating unit attached to the touch screen and is adapted to generating haptic feedback. A pressure sensing unit is attached to the touch screen and adapted to detect pressure applied to the touch screen. A controller section is adapted to control and drive the display section. The graphical user interface object displayed on the touch screen has a plurality of logical states. The controller section determines a current logical state of the graphical user interface object and a form of the haptic feedback to be generated depending on the detected touch position.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

TL;DR: In this article, a method for modifying an image is presented, which consists of displaying an image, the image comprising a portion of an object; determining if an edge of the object is in a location within the portion; and detecting movement in a member direction, of an operating member with respect to the edge.

Display apparatus and method of driving the same

TL;DR: In this article, a compensator compensates for a gamma value of a 3D image to be increased in response to a first mode signal when the 2D mode is converted to the 3D mode and decreases an increased gamma value to a gamma values for a 2D image in reaction to a second mode signal.

Haptic feedback for touchpads and other touch control

TL;DR: A haptic feedback planar touch control used to provide input to a computer is described in this article, where the computer can position a cursor in a displayed graphical environment based at least in part on the position signal, or perform a different function.

Haptic feedback for button and scrolling action simulation in touch input devices

TL;DR: In this paper, a planar touch control is used to provide input to a computer and haptic feedback is provided by actuators coupled to the touch input device and outputs a force to provide a haptic sensation to the user via the touch surface.
Patent

Display unit with touch panel and information processing method

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show how to move a touch-driven member such as a functional button to a desired position through a touch operation by pushing the icon with the finger at a predetermined position and changing its size and color.
Patent

Pressure based selection

TL;DR: In this article, the use of pressure sensitive selection tools in a graphical user interface is disclosed in which the amount of pressure during a selection operation may modify selection behavior, and the selection behavior is modified upon receiving a selection input.
Patent

Pressure sensitive controls

TL;DR: In this article, the use of pressure-sensitive controls is described in which controls respond differently to different pressure applied by a stylus on a digitizer, and users interacting with displayed controls may modify the speed, increment, or other property of the control by pressing harder or softer.
