Systems and Methods For Haptic Remote Control Gaming
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium comprising program code for:
- receiving, by a portable multifunction device, information from a remotely controllable device, the portable multifunction device being operable as a remote control for the remotely controllable device;
determining, by the portable multifunction device, a haptic effect based at least in part on the received information;
generating, by the portable multifunction device, a signal configured to cause an actuator to output the first haptic effect; and
outputting, by the first portable multifunction device, the signal.

Abstract
Systems and methods for haptic remote control gaming are disclosed. In one embodiment a portable multifunction device receives information from a remotely controllable device. The portable multifunction device can be operable as a remote control for the remotely controllable device. The portable multifunction device may be a smartphone, a tablet computer, or another suitable electronic device. The portable multifunction device can determine a haptic effect based at least in part on the information received from the remotely controllable device. The portable multifunction device may generate a signal configured to cause an actuator to output the determined haptic effect. The portable multifunction device can output the signal.

20. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a portable multifunction device, first information from a remotely controllable device, the portable multifunction device being operable as a remote control for the remotely controllable device; determining, by the portable multifunction device, a first haptic effect based at least in part on the received first information; generating, by the portable multifunction device, a first signal configured to cause an actuator to output the first haptic effect; and outputting, by the first portable multifunction device, the first signal.
