Haptic effects conflict avoidance
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of automatically resolving haptic effect conflicts, the method comprising:
- using a haptic enabled device configured to generate a first haptic effect associated with a first signature;
detecting a source of second haptic effects;
determining a second signature associated with the second haptic effects produced by the source;
identifying the source of the second haptic effects as a second haptic enabled device; and
modifying either the first or second signature to reduce conflict between the first signature and the second signature.

Abstract
A method and system for avoiding haptic effects conflict is presented. A haptic enabled device configured to generate haptic effects associated with a first signature is used by a user. The system detects an additional source of haptic effects and determines a second signature associated with the haptic effects produced by the source. The system determines a preferred set of haptic configurations and modifies either the first or second signature based on the preferred set of haptic configurations to achieve a minimal conflict between the first and second signatures.

11. A haptic effects conflict resolution system comprising:
-
a haptic enabled device configured to generate a haptic effect associated with a first signature; wherein the haptic enabled device is configured to; detect a source of second haptic effects; determine a second signature associated with the second haptic effects produced by the source; identify the source of the second haptic effects as a second haptic enabled device; and modify either the first or second signature to reduce a conflict between the first signature and the second signature. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions for resolving conflicts between multiple haptic effect sources stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
use a haptic enabled device configured to generate a haptic effect associated with a first signature; detect a source of second haptic effects; determine a second signature associated with the second haptic effects produced by the source; identify the source of the second haptic effects as a second haptic enabled device; and modify either the first or second signature to reduce a conflict between the first signature and the second signature. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
