APPARATUS

An apparatus may enhance a sound characteristic and/or a sound pressure level characteristic. An apparatus includes a vibration member, a vibration apparatus under the vibration member, a plurality of vibration portions overlapping one another, and a connection member connecting at least a portion of the plurality of vibration portions to the vibration member.

APPARATUS

An apparatus can include a display member configured to display an image, a vibration apparatus disposed at a rear surface of the display member, a supporting frame disposed at a rear surface of the vibration apparatus, and an adhesive member disposed between the supporting frame and the rear surface of the display member. In addition, the adhesive member and/or supporting frame is spaced apart from the vibration apparatus, and the vibration apparatus is configured to vibrate in a direction toward the display member.

Force-based control for a mobile device having a non-linear surface

A mobile computing device has a display with a curved (i.e. non-linear) surface along one or more edges. The curved surface is force (i.e. pressure) sensitive, such that an amount of pressure applied to the surface at a given point (or a region) of the surface is sensed and adapted to be converted into a control signal. One or more control signals generated by sensing a user's interaction with the curved surface are converted into user interface (UI) operations, such as the opening of one or more applications, application menus, or the like. Preferably, the amount of pressure applied by the user varies, and application of a first pressure generates a first control action, and application of a second pressure greater than the first pressure generates a second control action that is related to the first control action.
