METHOD AND APPARATUS OF BODY-MEDIATED DIGITAL CONTENT TRANSFER AND HAPTIC FEEDBACK

摘要

The disclosure relates to systems and methods of transferring/storing digital content, and/or providing haptic feedback via wearable devices directly or indirectly responsive to an event such as a communication, an event occurring in an electronic environment and/or physical environment, the transfer of digital content, and/or other events. Wearable devices may be worn at various locations on a body of the user. Each location may be associated with a wearable device. Different haptic feedback may be provided at different locations based on the event such that the events may be distinguished or otherwise identified based on the location at which haptic feedback is provided. The locations may be stored in a configuration of wearable devices that act as a mapping of the wearable devices. The locations and/or haptic feedback itself may be varied based on the context and/or properties such as size of digital content or status of the transfer.

1. A system of providing haptic feedback, the system comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive information related to an event;generate a control signal based on the event, wherein the control signal is configured to cause a haptic feedback to be provided;identify a device that is to receive the control signal; andtransmit to the identified device the control signal.
