Simulating touch texture on the display of a mobile device using vibration

摘要

Controlling haptic feedback (216) in a mobile communication device (304) is provided. Metadata (320) associated with a set of objects (318) within requested content (316) is parsed (608) to identify each object within the requested content having an associated frequency pattern (322) included in the metadata (320). The requested content (316) is displayed (610) in a display device (214). A touch input is received (612) on the display device (214) at a location of an identified object (318) that has an associated frequency pattern (322) within the requested content (316). A frequency and a duration of a vibration generated (616) by a variable frequency vibration device (218) simulating a tactile texture (504) of the identified object (318) touched within the requested content (316) is controlled using the associated frequency pattern (322) of the identified object (318).
