IT Home reported on May 12th that according to the latest list published by the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO),Apple has applied for a MacBook laptop with touch control.
According to the patent description, this laptop not only has a touch screen, but also achieves tactile feedback in the palm rest area and touchpad position.
Apple has officially opposed the integration of touch elements in MacBook laptops, but this does not prevent the company from applying for relevant technology patents. It is unclear whether Apple will launch touch laptops in the future.
IT Home learned from patents that Apple believes that current electronic devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones typically notify users of different events in different ways.
This includes playing sound, providing tactile output (such as vibration), and displaying visual notifications. Tactile output can be provided by actuators using vibration motors or vibration motors.
But these vibrating motors typically vibrate the entire electronic device and cannot provide local tactile output. In addition, traditional vibration motors often have a large volume and occupy a large amount of space.
Apple hopes to set up small-scale touch modules, distributed in areas such as screen substrates, touchpads, and palm rest, to achieve flexible touch control based on the touch of different areas.
