摘要： Described embodiments include an apparatus and a method. In an apparatus, a tracking circuit detects a segment of a path defined by a user contact point moving across a touch sensitive display. A filter predicts a next contiguous segment of the path defined by the user contact point in response to an adaptively learned motion parameter. The adaptively learned motion parameter is based on at least two previous instances of the determined motion parameters respectively descriptive of a motion of a user contact point during its movement across the touch sensitive display. A compensation circuit initiates a display by the touch sensitive display of the detected segment of the path and the predicted next contiguous segment of the path. An updating circuit updates the detected segment of the path and the predicted next contiguous segment of the path as the user contact point moves across the touch sensitive display.

摘要： Described embodiments include a system and a method. A system includes an ultrasound locator transmitter acoustically coupled with an ultrasound-conducting layer of a display surface and configured to broadcast a detection ultrasound wave across at least a portion the ultrasound-conducting layer. An ultrasound receiver is acoustically coupled with the ultrasound-conducting layer and configured to receive a portion of the detection ultrasound wave scattered from a touch by the human appendage to a location on the display surface. A steered-beam ultrasound transmitter is acoustically coupled with the ultrasound-conducting layer and configured to deliver a focused ultrasound wave to the touch location. The focused ultrasound wave has a power density producing a stress pattern directly perceivable or discernible by the human appendage at the touch location. A stimulation controller is configured to initiate a delivery of the focused ultrasound wave to the touch location by the steered-beam ultrasound transmitter.
