Abstract

See full text

A method of operating a touch assembly having a touch surface, a haptic feedback device and a switch is provided. The method includes activating the haptic feedback device in response to the switch deactivating. The method also includes monitoring and adjusting the monitoring of the switch in response to the switch deactivating to prevent continued deactivation of the switch by the haptic feedback. A method of operating a touch assembly having a touch surface, a base, a haptic feedback device and a switch is also provided. The method includes sensing the location of a touch force on the touch surface and deactivating a switch in response to the touch force moving the touch surface relative to the base. The method proceeds with transmitting a signal only in response to the location of the touch force being sensed and the at least one switch being in the deactivated configuration.
