Vehicle computing system to provide a vehicle safety warning

Abstract

A flexible multi-touch display, proximate to an ultrasound transducer that generates touch sensations to a user over air, may display a pop-up window. The pop-up window may provide a vibration on touch that increases over time. The flexible multi-touch display may detect at least two touches simultaneously. The flexible multi-touch display may also display a detailed list to select an item based on a detected physical indentation of the flexible multi-touch display.

1 . A method performed by a vehicle computing system, the method comprising:
 displaying, by a flexible multi-touch display proximate to an ultrasound transducer that generates touch sensations to a user over air, a pop-up window, wherein the pop-up window provides a vibration on touch that increases over time and the flexible multi-touch display detects at least two touches substantially simultaneously;   controlling, by a controller in communication with the ultrasound transducer, ultrasound projected over air to the user to produce tactile virtual resistance using circular focal points in a zone for the pop-up window when a finger of the user is located at a boundary of the flexible multi-touch display, wherein predicted finger input is detected by a ultrasound detector electrically coupled to the controller; and   displaying, by the flexible multi-touch display, a detailed list to select an item based on a detected physical indentation of the flexible multi-touch display.   
     
     
         2 . A vehicle computing system comprising:
 a flexible multi-touch display, proximate to an ultrasound transducer that generates touch sensations to a user over air, configured to display a pop-up window, wherein the pop-up window provides a vibration on touch that increases over time and the flexible multi-touch display detects at least two touches substantially simultaneously;   a controller, in communication with the ultrasound transducer, configured to control ultrasound projected over air to the user to produce tactile virtual resistance using circular focal points in a zone for the pop-up window when a finger of the user is located at a boundary of the flexible multi-touch display, wherein predicted finger input is detected by a ultrasound detector electrically coupled to the controller; and   the flexible multi-touch display further configured to display a detailed list to select an item based on a detected physical indentation of the flexible multi-touch display.
