TERMINAL DEVICE FOR PROVIDING HAPTIC EFFECT USING HAPTIC ENGINE AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREFOR
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling a terminal device that provides a haptic effect using a haptic engine, the method comprising:
- sensing a haptic event;
executing a non-physical parameter-based haptic function in a haptic engine so as to determine a vibration pattern corresponding to the haptic event;
transferring the vibration pattern from the haptic engine to a device driver; and
driving, through the device driver, a vibrator based on the vibration pattern so as to embody the haptic effect.
