System and Method for Feedforward and Feedback With Haptic Effects
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a processor configured to;
receive a sensor signal associate with a user interaction;
determine an operation available on a device based in part on the user interaction;
determine a haptic effect associated with the operation, wherein the haptic effect is configured to provide information associated with the operation prior to performance of the operation; and
output a haptic signal associated with the haptic effect to a haptic output device configured to output the haptic effect.

Abstract
Systems and methods for feedforward and feedback with haptic effects are disclosed. One such system may include a sensor configured to detect an interaction with a touch surface and transmit a sensor signal associated with the interaction; a processor in communication with the sensor, the processor configured to: determine an operation available on a device, the operation associated with a first user interaction; determine a simulated texture associated with the operation; output a haptic signal associated with the simulated texture; determine whether to perform the operation based on a second user interaction; and a haptic output device in communication with the processor and coupled to the touch surface, the haptic output device configured to receive a haptic signal and simulate a texture on the touch surface based in part on the haptic signal.
