Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same
TL;DR: In this article, a mobile terminal including a body; a touchscreen provided to a front and extending to side of the body and configured to display content; and a controller configured to detect one side of a body when it comes into contact with a side of an external terminal, display a first area on the touchscreen corresponding to a contact area of body and the external terminal and a second area including the content.
Patent
Multi Touch with Multi Haptics
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-touch gesture based on the data from a multisensors sensing device and an appropriate multi-haptic response is identified and the gesture is demonstrated.
Patent
User interface system
TL;DR: In this paper, the user interface system of the preferred embodiment includes a layer defining a surface, a substrate supporting the layer and at least partially defining a cavity, a displacement device coupled to the cavity and adapted to expand the cavity thereby deforming a particular region of the surface.
Patent
Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Manipulating User Interface Objects with Visual and/or Haptic Feedback
TL;DR: In this article, an electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, and one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts: displays a plurality of user interface objects in a first-user interface; detects a contact while a focus selector is at a location of a first user interface object; detects an increase in a characteristic intensity of the contact to a first intensity threshold.
Patent
Mobile terminal and method of controlling operation of the mobile terminal
TL;DR: In this article, a mobile terminal and a method of controlling the operation of the mobile terminal is presented, which includes displaying an electronic document on a display module; responsive to detecting a scroll command, scrolling the electronic document in a particular direction at a particular speed; and changing a speed of scrolling the Electronic Document upon encountering a scroll limit during the scrolling of the electronic Document.

Mode-based graphical user interfaces for touch sensitive input devices
Steve Hotelling,Joshua A. Strickon,Brian Q. Huppi,Duncan Robert Kerr,Imran Chaudhri,Greg Christie,Jonathan P. Ive,Bas Ording +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a user interface method for detecting a touch and then determining user interface mode when a touch is detected is presented. And the method further includes activating one or more GUI elements based on the user interface modes and in response to the detected touch.
Patent
Programmable tactile touch screen displays and man-machine interfaces for improved vehicle instrumentation and telematics
TL;DR: In this article, new programmable forms of tactile touch screens and displays employing tactile physical selection or adjustment means which utilize direct optical data input have been presented, which is stylistically attractive, lower in cost, customizable by the user, programmable in both the tactile and visual sense, and with the potential of enhancing interior safety and vehicle operation.
Patent
Portable electronic device with multi-touch input
TL;DR: In this article, a portable communication device with multi-touch input detects one or more multitouch contacts and motions and performs one-touch operations on an object based on the contacts and/or motions, such that the object has a resolution that is less than a pre-determined threshold when the operation is performed on the object, and the object's resolution is greater than the threshold at other times.
Patent
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.
