Providing a sense of touch in a mobile device using vibration
First Claim
1. A method for controlling haptic feedback, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a data processing system, requested content and metadata including frequency patterns associated with one or more objects of a set of objects within the requested content from a server device via a network;
parsing, by the data processing system, the metadata associated with the set of objects within the requested content to identify each object within the requested content having an associated frequency pattern included in the metadata received from the server device;
displaying, by the data processing system, the requested content in a display device;
receiving, by the data processing system, a touch input on the display device at a location of an identified object that has an associated frequency pattern within the requested content; and
controlling, by the data processing system, a frequency and a duration of a vibration generated by a variable frequency vibration device simulating a tactile texture of the identified object touched within the requested content using the associated frequency pattern of the identified object.

Abstract
Controlling haptic feedback in a mobile communication device is provided. Metadata associated with a set of objects within requested content is parsed to identify each object within the requested content having an associated frequency pattern included in the metadata. The requested content is displayed in a display device. A touch input is received on the display device at a location of an identified object that has an associated frequency pattern within the requested content. A frequency and a duration of a vibration generated by a variable frequency vibration device simulating a tactile texture of the identified object touched within the requested content is controlled using the associated frequency pattern of the identified object.

11. A data processing system for controlling haptic feedback, the data processing system comprising:
-
a bus system; a storage device connected to bus system, wherein the storage device stores a set of instructions; and a processor connected to the bus system, wherein the processor executes the set of instructions to receive requested content and metadata including frequency patterns associated with one or more objects of a set of objects within the requested content from a server device via a network;
parse the metadata associated with the set of objects within the requested content to identify each object within the requested content having an associated frequency pattern included in the metadata received from the server device;
display the requested content in a display device;
receive a touch input on the display device at a location of an identified object that has an associated frequency pattern within the requested content; and
control a frequency and a duration of a vibration generated by a variable frequency vibration device simulating a tactile texture of the identified object touched within the requested content using the associated frequency pattern of the identified object.

12. A computer program product stored on a computer readable storage device having computer usable program code embodied thereon that is executable by a data processing system for controlling haptic feedback, the computer program product comprising:
-
computer usable program code for receiving requested content and metadata including frequency patterns associated with one or more objects of a set of objects within the requested content from a server device via a network; computer usable program code for parsing the metadata associated with the set of objects within the requested content to identify each object within the requested content having an associated frequency pattern included in the metadata received from the server device; computer usable program code for displaying the requested content in a display device; computer usable program code for receiving a touch input on the display device at a location of an identified object that has an associated frequency pattern within the requested content; and computer usable program code for controlling a frequency and a duration of a vibration generated by a variable frequency vibration device simulating a tactile texture of the identified object touched within the requested content using the associated frequency pattern of the identified object. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
