Haptic effect generation system
First Claim
1. A haptic effect generation system comprising:
- a computing platform including a hardware processor, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and a memory storing a haptic software code; and
a haptic transformer coupled to the computing platform, the haptic transformer configured to receive a non-audio input signal having a non-zero frequency, and to transform the non-audio input signal to a first audio signal corresponding to the non-audio input signal;
the ADC configured to convert the first audio signal to a first audio data;
the hardware processor configured to execute the haptic software code to;
receive the first audio data from the ADC; and
generate a second audio data using the first audio data, wherein the second audio data corresponds to a desired haptic effect;
the DAC configured to convert the second audio data to a second audio signal; and
the haptic transformer further configured to transform the second audio signal to a haptic actuator signal for producing the desired haptic effect.

Abstract
A haptic effect generation system includes a computing platform including a hardware processor, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and a memory storing a haptic software code, as well as a haptic transformer coupled to the computing platform. The haptic transformer receives an input signal, and transforms the input signal to a first audio signal corresponding to the input signal. The ADC converts the first audio signal to a first audio data. The hardware processor executes the haptic software code to receive the first audio data from the ADC, and to generate a second audio data using the first audio data, the second audio data corresponding to a desired haptic effect. The DAC converts the second audio data to a second audio signal. The haptic transformer then transforms the second audio signal to a haptic actuator signal for producing the desired haptic effect.

11. A method for use by a haptic effect generation system including a haptic transformer coupled to a computing platform having a hardware processor, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and a memory storing a haptic software code, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by the haptic transformer, a non-audio input signal; transforming, by the haptic transformer, the non-audio input signal to a first audio signal corresponding to the non-audio input signal; converting, by the ADC, the first audio signal to a first audio data; receiving, by the hardware processor executing the haptic software code, the first audio data from the ADC; generating, by the hardware processor executing the haptic software code, a second audio data using the first audio data, the second audio data corresponding to a desired haptic effect; converting, by the DAC, the second audio data to a second audio signal; and transforming the second audio signal to a haptic actuator signal for producing the desired haptic effect. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
