Abstract

Various technologies pertaining to provision of haptic feedback to users of computing devices with touch-sensitive displays are described. First haptic feedback is provided to assist a user in localizing a finger or thumb relative to a graphical object displayed on a touch-sensitive display, where no input data is provided to an application corresponding to the graphical object. A toggle command set forth by the user is subsequently identified; thereafter, an input gesture is received on the touch-sensitive display, and second haptic feedback is provided to aid the user in setting forth input data to the application.

Description

Background technique [0001] A mobile computing device has been configured to display a soft input panel where a user may generate text by selecting a button of the soft input panel. Typically, on a mobile computing device, each key on the soft input panel represents a single character. Thus, for a user to enter text into the mobile computing device using the soft input panel, the user can select (eg, by tapping) a discrete key representing the corresponding character desired to be included in this text. Since many mobile computing devices have relatively small screens, these computing devices have been configured to perform spelling corrections and / or correct for "fat finger complications" (where the user mistakenly taps a key near the key it expects to be tapped) software. [0002] Conventionally, when the user cannot continuously look at the screen displaying the soft input panel, it is very difficult for the user to accurately input text using the soft input panel. For m...
