Systems and methods are provided that relate to vibrational input elements configured to provide inputs to control an application executed by a mobile computing device. The vibrational input elements may produce distinct vibration patterns that are detectable by a sensor of the mobile computing device. The respective vibration patterns may correspond to one or more actions that may be performed in relation to the application.

Vibrational input elements

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for performing operations comprising: detecting physical touch of a touch-sensitive component on a back portion of a client device, the client device displaying a graphical user interface on a touch-sensitive display screen of a front portion of the client device; in response to detecting the physical touch, transmitting an electrical signal representing the physical touch of the touch-sensitive component on the back portion of the client device to the touch-sensitive display screen of the front portion of the client device; and causing an operation associated with the graphical user interface to be executed in response to the touch-sensitive display screen receiving the electrical signal representing the physical touch of the touch-sensitive component on the back portion of the client device.

Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, apparatus, media, and other implementations, including a method that includes obtaining input visual data comprising a sequence of symbols, selected from a symbol set, with each of the symbols associated with a glyph representation. The method also includes obtaining a code message comprising code message symbols, and modifying at least one of the symbols of the input visual data to a different glyph representation associated with a respective at least one of the code message symbols to generate, at a first time instance, a resultant coded visual data.
