Embodiment Construction

[0013] One embodiment is a system capable of converting an input, such as an audio signal, into a haptic signal that can be used to generate a haptic effect. The system can filter an input into a plurality of frequency bands, each frequency band comprising a sub-signal of the input, and the system can further prioritize the plurality of frequency bands based on one or more analysis parameters. Generally, the system is able to create a prioritized list of these frequency bands. The system can further select one or more frequency bands from the priority list and generate the haptic signal using the selected frequency bands, wherein the haptic signal is based at least in part on a combination of the selected mid-frequency bands. For example, the system can band-pass filter an audio signal into four frequency bands, and can create a haptic signal based on the frequency band containing the highest amplitude audio sub-signal. The system's tactile conversion functionality can be imp...

Abstract

A system is provided that converts an input into one or more haptic effects using segmenting and combining. The system receives an input. The system further segments the input into a plurality of input sub-signals. The system further converts the plurality of input sub-signals into a haptic signal. The system further generates the one or more haptic effects based on the haptic signal.

Description

technical field [0001] One embodiment is directed generally to a device, and more specifically to a device that produces a haptic effect. Background technique [0002] Haptics is a haptic and force feedback technology that utilizes a user's sense of touch by applying tactile feedback effects (ie, "haptic effects") to the user, such as force, vibration, and motion. Various devices, such as mobile devices, touch screen devices, and personal computers, can be configured to produce haptic effects. In general, calls to embedded hardware (such as actuators) capable of producing haptic effects can be programmed within the device's operating system ("OS"). These calls specify which haptic effect to perform. For example, when a user interacts with the device using, for example, a button, touch screen, lever, joystick, steering wheel, or some other control, the device's OS can send execution commands to the embedded hardware through the control circuitry. Embedded hardware then gen...
