Haptic throttle devices and methods
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a sensor signal associated with a state of a throttle interface;
receiving an input signal at a processor, the input signal being associated with information independent of an operation of the throttle interface; and
outputting via an actuator haptic feedback associated with the input signal.

Abstract
An apparatus includes a sensor configured to be coupled to a throttle interface. The sensor is configured to output a sensor signal associated with a condition of the throttle interface. A first brake element has a first friction surface and a second brake element has a second friction surface. The second brake element is configured to be coupled to the throttle interface. The friction surface associated with the first brake element is positioned opposite the friction surface associated with the second brake element. The first brake element is configured to move relative to the second brake element. An actuator is coupled to the first brake element and is configured to output haptic feedback to the throttle interface via the first brake element based on the sensor signal.
