Abstract

A control assembly provides haptic feedback to the user of a device such as a smartphone. The button includes a shape memory alloy actuator which moves the button laterally with respect to the finger press. The actuator can be programmed and controlled to provide a variety of haptic waveforms. The control assembly may be used in combination with a capacitive sensor provides a tactile feedback which is not otherwise present with a capacitive control. The control assembly used in combination with a mechanical control provides a range of haptic waveforms not otherwise possible with a mechanical control. The control assembly can be used in smartphones, wearables, keyboards and other portable electronic devices.
