Abstract:
A haptic-enabled user interface device comprising a user input component, an elastomer suspension, a signal generating circuit, a signal sensing circuit, one or more switches, and a control unit is presented. The elastomer suspension is formed by at least one stack that includes an elastomeric layer, wherein the at least one stack forms at least one capacitor. The control unit is configured, in an actuation mode, to cause the one or more switches to electrically connect the signal generating circuit to the at least one capacitor and to electrically disconnect the signal sensing circuit from at least one capacitor, and to cause the signal generating circuit to apply a drive signal to the at least one capacitor. The control unit is further configured, in a sensing mode, to cause the one or more switches to electrically connect the signal sensing circuit to the at least one capacitor.

Claim (Index 39):
The haptic-enabled user interface device of  claim 38 , further comprising one or more switches configured to electrically connect and disconnect the signal sensing circuit and the signal generating circuit from each electrode of the pair of electrodes, wherein the control unit is in communication with the one or more switches and is configured, in the actuation mode, to control the one or more switches to electrically connect the signal generating circuit to each electrode of the pair of electrodes and to electrically disconnect the signal sensing circuit from each electrode of the pair of electrodes, and wherein the control unit is further configured, in the sensing mode, to control the one or more switches to electrically connect the signal sensing circuit to each electrode of the pair of electrodes, and to control the one or more switches to electrically disconnect the signal generating circuit from each electrode of the pair of electrodes.
