Touch-sensitive user-interface including configurable virtual widgets

Abstract:

A touch-sensitive graphical user interface (GUI) may include a touch screen configured to display a graphical user interface including an arrangement of one or more virtual widgets, each virtual widget having a shape and including one or more user interface elements displayed via the graphical user interface. The arrangement of the one or more virtual widgets is configurable. A microcontroller may be configured to sense a touch at the touch screen, identify a virtual widget corresponding with the touch, and initiate an action including at least one of (a) controlling an actuator to provide haptic feedback at an area of the touch screen on which the identified virtual widget is displayed or (b) controlling an electronic device associated with the user interface system.
