Abstract

Systems and methods for providing haptic effects are disclosed. For example, one disclosed system includes a computer-readable medium having program code, the program code including program code defining a haptic widget. The haptic widget includes program code defining a haptic effect; program code defining an interface for the haptic widget; program code for receiving, via the interface, a configuration of at least one parameter of the haptic widget; program code for receiving, via the interface, a play command for the haptic effect; and program code for outputting, via the interface, a signal configured to cause the haptic effect, the signal based on the at least one parameter and in response to the play command.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 327,450, filed April 23, 2010, entitled "Systems and Methods for Use of Haptic Effects in Promotional and Other Communications," which is hereby incorporated by reference overall content. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to providing haptic effects, and more particularly to providing haptic effects using haptic widgets or in association with branding or advertising. Background technique [0004] Haptic-enabled devices can be used to enhance the user experience on a variety of devices. However, there is still room for improvement in the use of haptics. For example, typical uses of haptics may include using haptic feedback to simulate the perception of objects or to allow realistic physical interaction with virtual environments. However, haptics can provide benefits unrelated to the accurate representation of...
