Abstract:
A touch input system comprising a touch input device and an actuation and sensing system is presented. The actuation and sensing system has a transfer structure adjacent to a first surface of the touch input device, the transfer structure having a first portion and a beam extending from an edge of the first portion. The actuation and sensing system further has a transducer patch disposed on the beam. The transfer structure is configured to transfer forces between the touch input device and the transducer patch, such that movement of the touch input device by an external force causes deformation of the beam and of the transducer patch, and such that actuation output by the transducer patch causes movement of the touch input device. The transducer patch has a layer of transducer material that is configured to act as a sensor, and is configured to act as an actuator.

Claim (Index 14):
A touch input system, comprising:\n a touch input device having an input surface configured to receive a touch input and a rear surface that is an opposite surface to the input surface; and an actuation and sensing system having:\n a transfer layer disposed on the rear surface of the touch input device, the transfer layer having a first portion that is a central portion of the transfer layer, and having and a first beam and a second beam, wherein the first beam extends from a first edge of the central portion, and the second beam extends from a second and opposite edge of the central portion, \n a spacer layer disposed between the rear surface of the touch input device and each beam of the first beam and the second beam, \n a first transducer patch disposed on the first beam, and \n a second transducer patch disposed on the second beam, \n wherein the transfer layer is configured to transfer forces between the touch input device and both the first transducer patch and the second transducer patch, such that movement of the touch input device by an external force causes deformation of the first and second beams and of the first and second transducer patches, and such that actuation output by the first transducer patch or the second transducer patch causes movement of the touch input device, wherein each transducer patch of the first transducer patch and the second transducer patch has a layer of transducer material that is configured to act as a sensor by outputting a first electrical signal when the respective transducer patch and the respective beam are deformed by the external force, and is configured to act as an actuator by outputting movement that actuates the respective beam when a second electrical signal is applied to the transducer material of the respective transducer patch.
