WEARABLE DEVICE MANAGER

摘要

A system for managing a plurality of wearable devices on a user receives information to be conveyed using haptic effects and determines an intent of the information. The system then determines, for each of the plurality of wearable haptic devices, a location of the wearable haptic device on the user and a haptic capability. The system then maps the information as a haptic effect to one or more of the wearable haptic devices based at least on the determined locations on the user and the haptic capabilities.

1. A method of generating a haptic effect, the method comprising:
determining a first location on a user of a first haptically enabled wearable device; determining a second location on the user of a second haptically enabled wearable device; receiving a haptic event with an associated intended location on the user; and mapping a haptic signal that corresponds to the haptic event so that the haptic effect is generated by the first haptically enabled wearable device and not by the second haptically enabled wearable device based on the intended location.
