Abstract:
1. A method for controlling haptic feedback, the method comprising: receiving, by a data processing system, requested content and metadata including frequency patterns associated with one or more objects of a set of objects within the requested content from a server device via a network; parsing, by the data processing system, the metadata associated with the set of objects within the requested content to identify each object within the requested content having an associated frequency pattern included in the metadata received from the server device; displaying, by the data processing system, the requested content in a display device; receiving, by the data processing system, a touch input on the display device at a location of an identified object that has an associated frequency pattern within the requested content; and controlling, by the data processing system, a frequency and a duration of a vibration generated by a variable frequency vibration device simulating a tactile texture of the identified object touched within the requested content using the associated frequency pattern of the identified object.
