A sound vibration actuator includes: a bracket and a casing for forming an internal space; a coil part coupled to the bracket in the internal space; a magnet part disposed around the coil part; an elastic member whose one surface coupled to the magnet part; a substrate fixed to the bracket and exposed outward from the internal space; and a substrate seating part disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the casing, wherein the substrate is disposed on top of the substrate seating part. The sound vibration actuator reduces the entire thickness thereof, while constantly maintaining an amount of vibration and generate vibrations in various frequency bands because the coil and the magnet are not fixed in the process where the vibrations are generated.

An electronic device may include a linear haptic actuator that may include a housing, coils carried by the housing, and a field member linearly movable within the housing and that may include at least one permanent magnet cooperating with the coils. The electronic device may also include a controller configured to drive the coils in a multi-phase arrangement so that at least one coil is driven while at least one other coil is used to sense a position of the field member.

A vibration actuator includes: a fixing part including one of a coil and a magnet; a movable part including the other one of the coil and the magnet; and an elastic supporting part configured to support the movable part movably with respect to the fixing part. The movable part is configured to reciprocate with respect to the fixing part in a vibration direction through cooperation between the powered coil and the magnet. The magnet is disposed away from and radially inside the coil. The elastic supporting part has a plate-like shape in which one end of the elastic supporting part is fixed to the fixing part at the side of the movable part and the other end is fixed to the movable part, and cantilevers the movable part in such a manner that the movable part can reciprocate in the vibration direction.

A method includes: executing an application prepared by an application programming interface (API) of a platform; and providing a network setting information to be used in the executed application to a display. A network connection is performed by the platform based on the network setting information.

A portable electronic device provides adaptive vibration noise reduction by generating a user alert vibration that is one of a first magnitude and a second magnitude, with the first magnitude being greater than the second magnitude. The portable device is configured to alert the user by providing a first magnitude alert vibration except when the device is lying flat and ambient noise at the device is low, and to provide a second magnitude alert vibration when the device is lying flat and ambient noise at the device is low.

An electronic apparatus is configured to generate a variety of vibrations corresponding to a variety of different situations without excessively high power consumption. The electronic apparatus has first and second vibration motors having respective eccentric weights different in weight from each other for generating different first and second vibrations. An input/output section enables a user to select from a list of events stored in a storage section first events and second events. A controller drives the first vibration motor having a heavier weight with a strong vibration upon occurrence of the user-selected first events and drives the second vibration motor having a lighter weight with a weak vibration upon occurrence of the user-selected second events. The first events include an incoming phone call or email, a present alarm time, and a dynamic or important action, motion, and so on in a computer game. The second events include confirming input operations by the user, and a minute action, motion, and so on occurring in a computer game. The correspondence between the vibration motors and the events is selectable by the user.

Disclosed is an electronic device including: a communication interface; at least one first vibration device; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to determine vibration information including a first time for vibrating the at least one first vibration device and a second time for vibrating at least one second vibration device included in an external device to which the electronic device is mounted, based at least partially on information included in content to be outputted by the electronic device, transmit, through the communication interface, at least part of the vibration information to the external device such that the external device vibrates the at least one second vibration device based at least partially on the second time, and control the at least one first vibration device to vibrate based at least partially on the first time while the content is outputted.

A vibrator assembly includes a housing defining a longitudinal central axis and a rotor in the housing and spaced apart from the central axis. The rotor defines a longitudinal rotational axis that is parallel to the central axis. The rotor is configured to rotate about the rotational axis and, in response, to rotate about the central axis.

A system for ring suppression facilitates notification and handling of unwanted calls as desired by a recipient, and in particular without disturbing the recipient. A new social dimension of call presentation logic is now available to callers. A telephony device is configured to receive an incoming call. The incoming call includes a calling line identity (CLI). On the telephony device, individual contacts in an address book are searched for a match to the CLI. If a match is found, a first phone action is activated (such as ringing the phone). If a match is not found in the address book for the incoming CLI, a second phone action is activated (such as not ringing the phone, and displaying the CLI). In other words, a call that is not in the address book of the recipient (B party) is silenced.

An electronic device, while displaying representations of a plurality of collections of media items, detects a swipe input that starts at a location corresponding to a first representation of a first collection of media items in the plurality of collections of media items. In response to detecting the swipe input: in accordance with a determination that the swipe input is in a first direction, the device scrolls the representations of the plurality of collections of media items in the first direction; and, in accordance with a determination that the swipe input is in a different, second direction, the device: ceases to display a representation of a first item in the first collection of media items, and displays a representation of a second item in the first collection of media items, without scrolling; and generates a tactile output corresponding to displaying the representation of the second item.
