Abstract
An electronic device receives, at an application-independent module, user interface information from an application. The user interface information corresponds to one or more displayed user interface elements with one or more dimensions defined by an application-specific module of the application. The electronic device receives an input directed toward one or more of the displayed user interface elements, and, at the application-independent module, determines one or more tactile outputs to be generated based on a magnitude of the input and the one or more dimensions defined by the applications-specific module. Using the one or more tactile output generators, the electronic device generates the determined one or more tactile outputs.
