Synchronization of haptic effect data in a media transport stream

摘要

A method for synchronizing haptic effects with at least one media component in a media transport stream includes identifying a series of video frames containing imaging information and/or a series of audio frames containing sound information in the media transport stream; identifying a series of haptic frames containing force feedback information in the media transport stream; and synchronizing the force feedback information in response to the imaging information and/or sound information.

1. A method for synchronizing haptic effects, the method comprising:
identifying by a media player, a series of video frames containing imaging information or a series of audio frames containing sound information, in a media transport stream; identifying by the media player, a series of haptic frames containing force feedback information, in the media transport stream; and synchronizing the force feedback information with the imaging information or the sound information, wherein the synchronizing is performed by a media synchronization layer and based on a plurality of predetermined time stamps specified within a master timing table in the media transport stream, wherein, when a time stamp is assigned to a haptic frame, the haptic frame is executed at a time indicated by the time stamp.
