Haptic warping system that transforms a haptic signal into a collection of vibrotactile haptic effect patterns

摘要

A system is provided that transforms haptic signals into vibrotactile haptic effect patterns. The system receives a haptic signal that includes haptic effect patterns. The system further detects a start time and an end time for each haptic effect pattern. The system further detects haptic effect patterns based on a characteristic, and replaces the detected haptic effect patterns with substitute haptic effect patterns. The system further shifts the start time for each haptic effect pattern back by a shift duration. The system further assigns a vibrotactile haptic effect pattern to each haptic effect pattern. The system further sends the vibrotactile haptic effect patterns to a standard-definition haptic output device to generate vibrotactile haptic effects.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to transform haptic signals into collections of vibrotactile haptic effect patterns, the transforming comprising:
receiving a haptic signal comprising at least one haptic effect pattern, wherein each haptic effect pattern comprises data that causes a haptic output device to produce a haptic effect; detecting a start time and an end time for each haptic effect pattern; shifting the start time for each haptic effect pattern back by a shift duration; assigning a vibrotactile haptic effect pattern to each haptic effect pattern, wherein each vibrotactile haptic effect pattern comprises data that causes a standard-definition haptic output device to produce a vibrotactile haptic effect for an active duration and to cease producing the vibrotactile haptic effect for a silent duration; and sending the one or more vibrotactile haptic effect patterns to the standard-definition haptic output device to generate one or more vibrotactile haptic effects.
