Systems and methods for haptic remote control gaming

摘要

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.

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more software applications configured to be executed by a processor in a first portable multifunction device, the one or more software applications configured to:
receive, by the first portable multifunction device, information from a remotely device, the first portable multifunction device configured to remotely control a remotely controllable device; cede, by the first portable multifunction device, a control function to a second portable multifunction device based at least in part on the received information, wherein the control function is configured to control a function of the remotely controllable device, and wherein the remote device is at least one of the remotely controllable device or the second portable multifunction device; determine, by the first portable multifunction device, a first haptic effect configured to indicate that the control function has been ceded to the second portable multifunction device; generate, by the first portable multifunction device, a signal configured to cause a haptic output device to output the first haptic effect; and output, by the first portable multifunction device, the signal to the haptic output device.
