Abstract:
1. A method for automatically generating haptic effects comprising: receiving a representationally structured file comprising a plurality of designated events, wherein the plurality of designated events are distributed within two or more channels; comparing the events between the two or more channels along a common timeline; choosing one or more events in one of the two or more channels when a correlation of the two or more channels is not within a threshold correlation between the two or more channels; assigning a score for the chosen one or more events in two or more channels of the representationally structured file; generating a plurality of haptic events by assigning a haptic effect to each of the designated events satisfying a score criteria; and outputting the haptic events to an actuator, wherein each outputted haptic event is associated with a corresponding event in the representationally structured file.
