Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a haptics controller to generate a drive current; an actuator, the actuator including a coil and a magnet, one of the coil and the magnet being movable relative to the other one of the coil and the magnet, the coil including one or more loops of a conductor to receive the drive current to oscillate the one of the magnet and the coil relative to the other one to provide a haptic output; a connection circuit to conduct the drive current generated by the haptics controller to the coil; a transceiver electrically coupled with the coil through the connection circuit, the coil serving as an antenna for the transceiver to at least one of send or receive a radio frequency (RF) communication through the coil; and wherein the drive current and the RF communication operate at different frequencies to enable concurrent operation of the actuator and the transceiver.
