AI discreetly communicates message count through haptics.
Once AI determines that phone is in pocket or bag, haptics can signal the message count through touch.
Check messages without pulling out the phone. By combining AI and haptics, the device’s knowledge of its own state can be communicated through haptic feedback. AI tells the phone that it is in the user’s pocket or bag, and gets the lock screen ready for Message Count gestures. When the user rubs the screen, haptics indicate whether there are any new messages, and how many.
