Generating haptic effects while minimizing cascading

摘要

A system that generates haptic effects using an actuator receives a haptic effect definition that defines a haptic effect. The system pre-processes the haptic effect definition by determining if the actuator is capable of playing the haptic effect. The system then post-processes the haptic effect definition by adjusting a force value based on an estimate or measurement of a state of the actuator during a playing of the haptic effect.

1. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to generate haptic effects using an actuator, the generating comprising:
receiving a haptic effect definition that defines a haptic effect; pre-processing the haptic effect definition comprising determining if the actuator is capable of playing the haptic effect, the determining comprising characterizing a rise time of the actuator and a fall time of the actuator; and post-processing the haptic effect definition comprising adjusting a force value based on an estimate or measurement of a state of the actuator, wherein the adjusting occurs during a playing of the haptic effect.
