First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling a terminal device that provides a haptic effect, the method comprising:
- sensing a haptic event;
determining a vibration pattern corresponding to the haptic event based on a combination of at least one of predetermined haptic patterns corresponding to at least one classification;
andcontrolling a vibrator to drive based on the vibration pattern so as to embody the haptic effect,wherein the at least one classification includes a classification for determining a type of the haptic event, a classification for determining a detailed category of the determined type of the haptic event, and a classification for determining a detailed feature of the haptic event.

Abstract
A terminal device controlling method that provides a haptic effect using a haptic engine is provided, which includes sensing a haptic event, executing a non-physical parameter-based haptic function in a haptic engine so as to determine a vibration pattern corresponding to the haptic event, transferring the vibration pattern from the haptic engine to a device driver, and driving, through the device driver, a vibrator based on the vibration pattern so as to embody a haptic effect.
