Appl.No PCT/US2022/021558 Applicant APPLE INC. Inventor HUANG, Yi-Pai
An electronic device may include a stereoscopic display with a plurality of lenticular lenses that extend across the length of the display. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. The display may have different viewing zones that account for horizontal parallax as a viewer moves horizontally relative to the display. The display may be dimmed globally based on the detected vertical position of the viewer. The magnitude of dimming applied to the display may increase with increasing deviation of the viewer from a baseline viewing angle. The display may render content that compensates for the real-time vertical position of the viewer. Another option for the stereoscopic display is to include a lens film that has an array of lenses. Each lens in the array of lenses spreads light in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

A system such as a vehicle may have control circuitry that controls a steering and propulsion system. The control circuitry may use the steering and propulsion system to park the vehicle in a parking space. Wireless power may be transferred from a wireless power transmitter in the parking space to a wireless power receiver coupled to a vehicle body in the vehicle. The control circuitry may use sensors to make sensor measurements during parking events. The control circuitry may also gather information on wireless power transfer efficiency. Historical vehicle-to-wireless-power-transmitter alignment information may be updated based on the sensor measurements and corresponding wireless power transfer efficiency measurements and may be used to park the vehicle in an optimal location during subsequent parking events. Vehicle parking position may be intentionally varied over a series of parking events to gather additional alignment information.

Apparatuses and methods for an electronic device to control the application of friction to a rotary input control with a shaft. In one example, the apparatus may include a spring bar member having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface positioned adjacent to the shaft; and a movable tension member positioned to engage the second surface of the spring bar; wherein as the tension member engages the spring bar, the spring bar engages the shaft and applies a frictional force to the shaft. In this manner, the apparatus can controllably apply a friction force of a desired amount to the rotary input control.

Embodiments may take the form of a system having a user input device and a first sensor coupled to the user input device. The first sensor is configured to sense touch on a surface of the user input device. The system may also include a second sensor in communication with the surface of the user device configured to sense wetting of a user's fingerprint on the surface. The system has a processor coupled to the first and second sensors and configured to estimate an amount of force applied by the user's fingerprint based at least in part upon the sensed wetting of the user's fingerprint.

This application relates generally to various embodiments of a magnetic wristband (252). More specifically the application describes a design for a magnetic wristband having a number of configurations. In one configuration the wristband is magnetically coupled around a user's wrist. In another configuration the magnetic wristband can be magnetically coupled around an electronic device (200) to which it is attached. In this second described configuration the magnetic wristband acts as a protective cover for the electronic device to which the wristband is attached. In this way a user can reduce the likelihood of damage being inflicted upon the electronic device while it is not being worn.

A haptic response element is contemplated. The haptic response element may generate a tactile feeling as an output and is associated with a computing device. The tactile feeling may be created by moving a part of the haptic response element. A gel may act to return the moving part of the haptic response element to a starting or zero point. Motion of the moving part may exert a shear force on the gel, rather than a compressive force.
