Input device and method for interacting with motion pictures incorporating content-based haptic feedback
First Claim
1. A system for interactively displaying a plurality of frames of prerecorded visual data, the system incorporating content-based haptic feedback, comprising:
- means for storing a plurality of frames of the prerecorded visual data;
means for generating content data corresponding to a characteristic of the prerecorded visual data;
means for storing the content data;
means for processing the content data to generate a haptic feedback control signal corresponding to the characteristic of the prerecorded visual data;
a viewer input device for manually controlling the display on a display device of frames of the prerecorded visual data;
means for producing a display control signal in response to operation of the viewer input device;
means for generating a haptic feedback force based on the haptic feedback control signal, the haptic feedback force being correlated to the prerecorded visual data being displayed; and
means for providing the haptic feedback force to the viewer input device.

Abstract
An input device and method for interacting with motion pictures incorporating content-based haptic response is provided. Content data relating to the motion picture is stored in a content data storage device while motion picture data is stored in a prerecorded image data storage device. A viewer input device is provided so that a viewer (end-user) can move forwards and backwards through the frames on a display screen while substantially simultaneously, the content data is accessed and braking commands are sent to the viewer input device. The result is that the viewer is provided with haptic responses to the viewer'"'"'s input through the viewer input device.

13. A method for interactively displaying a plurality of frames of prerecorded visual data, the method incorporating content-based haptic feedback, comprising the steps of:
-
storing a plurality of frames of the prerecorded visual data; generating content data corresponding to a characteristic of the prerecorded visual data; storing the content data; processing the content data to generate a haptic feedback control signal corresponding to the characteristic of the prerecorded visual data; manually controlling the display on a display device of frames of the prerecorded visual data with a viewer input device; producing a display control signal in response to operation of the viewer input device; generating a haptic feedback force based on the haptic feedback control signal, the haptic feedback force being correlated to the prerecorded visual data being displayed; and providing the haptic feedback force to the viewer input device.
