Haptic effect control system
First Claim
1. A haptic effect control system comprising:
- a user interface to receive a user-provided input and transmit a control signal representing the user-provided input;
a controller in communication with the user interface and to receive the control signal, analyze the control signal, and generate and transmit a first haptic-audio signal in response to the analysis of the control signal, wherein the first haptic-audio signal represents a first audio output for creating a desired sound pressure deviation from an ambient pressure of an environment of the user; and
an audio system including a device capable of producing the first audio output having a desired sound pressure level, wherein the audio system is adapted to receive the first haptic-audio signal and transmit the first audio output in response to the first haptic-audio signal, the sound pressure level of the first audio output providing a perceived haptic sensation in the user.

9. A haptic effect control system comprising:
-
a user interface to receive a user-provided input and transmit a control signal representing the user-provided input; a controller to receive the control signal, analyze the control signal, and generate and transmit a first haptic-audio signal in response to the analysis of the control signal, wherein the first haptic-audio signal represents a first audio output having a frequency and a sound pressure level for creating a sound pressure deviation from an ambient pressure of an environment of the user; an audio system including a device capable of producing the first audio output, wherein the audio system receives the first haptic-audio signal and transmits the first audio output in response to the first haptic-audio signal, the frequency and the sound pressure level of the first audio output providing a perceived haptic sensation in the user without mechanical control surface actuation; and a programmable component to provide user-controlled management of at least one of the controller and the audio system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for providing a haptic sensation feedback to a user, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a user-provided input; generating a control signal, wherein the control signal represents the user-provided input; analyzing the control signal; and generating a first audio output in response to the analysis of the control signal, wherein the first audio output creates a desired sound pressure deviation from an ambient pressure of an environment of the user, thereby providing a perceived haptic sensation in the user. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
