Interactivity model for shared feedback on mobile devices
First Claim
1. A method of producing a haptic effect comprising:
- receiving a first gesture signal;
receiving a second gesture signal;
generating a dynamic interaction parameter using the first gesture signal and the second gesture signal;
using a method of synthesis to further generate the dynamic interaction parameter to give greater precision to the haptic effect; and
applying a drive signal to a haptic output device according to the dynamic interaction parameter.

Abstract
A system that produces a dynamic haptic effect and generates a drive signal that includes a gesture signal and a real or virtual device sensor signal. The haptic effect is modified dynamically based on both the gesture signal and the real or virtual device sensor signal such as from an accelerometer or gyroscope, or by a signal created from processing data such as still images, video or sound. The haptic effect may optionally be modified dynamically by using the gesture signal and the real or virtual device sensor signal and a physical model, or may optionally be applied concurrently to multiple devices which are connected via a communication link. The haptic effect may optionally be encoded into a data file on a first device. The data file is then communicated to a second device and the haptic effect is read from the data file and applied to the second device.
