Supported Patent Claims (No. 10,225,471)

Claim 1: The Foundational Architecture

"plurality of interconnected grids is configured to at least function as a single haptic zone or a multiple individual haptic zones; a touch controller, said touch controller comprising a touch controller interface that is configured to identify, at least one of, a haptic contact engagement, a haptic contact signal, and a haptic contact gesture detected on said single haptic zone or at least one of said multiple individual haptic zones"

Applications

Universal implementation across all interactive touch surfaces: Smartphones, Tablets, Automotive Dashboards, Medical Devices, and IoT Smart Screens.

Observed Behaviors
This is the foundational 'root' claim. If your device captures images/video and uses a touch screen with any form of zone-based interaction (grids, buttons, toggles), it fundamentally relies on this architecture. It is the inescapable baseline for modern interactive displays.

Claim 16: System for Toggling Haptic Zones

"A system comprising... means for toggling between said single haptic zone and multiple individual haptic zones..."

Applications

Damage Inspection, Check-Out.

Observed Behaviors
Your rental kiosks toggle from a vehicle summary zone to a detailed damage inspection grid. This functionality is protected by Claim 16.

Claim 17: Interconnected Grid Interaction

"A system comprising: a processor; a digital image sensor configured to capture a visual media; a screen display configured to present said captured visual media, comprising at least a plurality of interconnected grids configured to at least function as a single haptic zone and, alternatively, a multiple individual haptic zones; a touch controller interface configured to identify a haptic contact engagement, signal, or gesture detected on said single haptic zone or at least one of said multiple individual haptic zones; and a visual media capture controller configured to at least alternately capture said visual media as a photographic image or record said visual media as a video image based upon an identified number of times or a process with which said haptic contact is detected, wherein said single haptic zone is configured to toggle into said multiple individual haptic zones based on said activation of said photographic image capture or video image recording."

Applications

Grid-based touch layouts, Dynamic snapping/selection tools, and Reconfigurable control grids.

Observed Behaviors
Your devices treat the screen as an interconnected grid of touch cells that can act as one large zone or multiple smaller zones depending on interaction. Claim 17 explicitly covers this plurality of interconnected grids functioning as dynamic haptic zones.
