Systems and methods for haptically-enabled alarms

摘要

One illustrative computing device disclosed herein includes a processor configured to receive a signal from an alarm device, wherein the signal is associated with an event. The processor is also configured to determine a haptic effect associated with the signal and transmit a haptic signal associated with the haptic effect. The illustrative computing device also includes a haptic output device in communication with the processor. The haptic output device is configured to receive the haptic signal and output the haptic effect.

1. A computing device comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive a signal from a remote alarm-device, wherein the signal identifies a haptic effect to be output, the haptic effect configured to provide a notification of an event detected by the remote alarm-device; andin response to the signal received from the remote alarm-device:
determine the haptic effect based on the signal; andtransmit a haptic signal configured to cause the haptic effect to be output; and a haptic output device in communication with the processor, the haptic output device configured to receive the haptic signal and output the haptic effect.
