To add, one of the "infringed" patents here:
1. A computer-readable medium having instructions, the instructions including instructions that cause a processor to:
detect a first pressure on a first input device;
provide a first tactile sensation to the first input device, the first tactile sensation based at least in part on the first pressure;
[...][0]
In general any patent that doesn't help the reader recreate the invention should not be valid. They should be more like instruction manuals "describing the said invention or discovery, clearly, truly and fully,"[1] rather than a list of vague ideas.
