Encoding dynamic haptic effects
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to encode a haptic effect definition, the instructions comprising:
- receiving a first key frame;
receiving a second key frame;
generating a frame list block, wherein the frame list block is configured to store a first property of the first key frame and a second property of the second key frame; and
generating a haptic effect signal according to an order of key frames in the frame list block of the haptic effect definition, the haptic effect signal being configured to render one or more haptic effects.

Abstract
A system is provided that encodes one or more dynamic haptic effects. The system defines a dynamic haptic effect as including a plurality of key frames, where each key frame includes an interpolant value and a corresponding haptic effect. An interpolant value is a value that specifies where an interpolation occurs. The system generates a haptic effect file, and stores the dynamic haptic effect within the haptic effect file.
