1. A method comprising:
- receiving a sensor signal from a first sensor configured to sense a first physical interaction with a first messaging device;
transmitting a first signal associated with the first physical interaction to a second messaging device;
receiving a second signal associated with a second physical interaction with the second messaging device;
modifying an image on a display of the first messaging device based on the first physical interaction and the second physical interaction;
determining a haptic effect based at least in part on the first physical interaction and the second physical interaction; and
generating a haptic signal configured to cause an actuator to output the haptic effect.

Abstract
Systems and methods for transmitting haptic messages are disclosed. For example, one disclosed method includes the steps of: receiving at least one sensor signal from at least one sensor of a mobile device, the at least one sensor signal associated with a movement of the mobile device, determining a message to be displayed in a user interface based at least in part on the at least one sensor signal, and causing the message to be displayed.

15. A messaging device comprising:
-
first sensor configured to sense a first physical interaction; a display configured to receive a display signal and output an image; a processor coupled to the first sensor and the display, the processor configured to; transmit a first signal associated with the first physical interaction to a second messaging device; receive a second signal associated with a second physical interaction with the second messaging device; modify the image on the display based on the first physical interaction and the second physical interaction; determine a haptic effect based at least in part on the first physical interaction and the second physical interaction; and generate a haptic signal configured to cause an actuator to output the haptic effect. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
