This patent application claims priority to and is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/502,758, filed on Jul. 14, 2009, and entitled “Systems and Methods for Shifting Haptic Feedback Function Between Passive and Active Modes,” which claims priority to: U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/080,978, entitled “Systems and Methods for Physics-Based Tactile Messaging” filed Jul. 15, 2008; U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/080,981, entitled “Systems and Methods for Mapping Message Contents to Virtual Physical Properties for Vibrotactile Messaging” filed Jul. 15, 2008; U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/080,985, entitled “Systems and Methods for Shifting Sensor Haptic Feedback Function Between Passive and Active Modes” filed Jul. 15, 2008; U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/080,987, entitled “Systems and Methods for Gesture Indication of Message Recipients” filed Jul. 15, 2008; U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/148,312, entitled “Systems and Methods for Pseudo-Telepresence in a Shared Space” filed Jan. 29, 2009; and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/181,280, entitled “Systems and Methods for Transmitting Haptic Messages” filed May 26, 2009, the entirety of each of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
receiving a first signal associated with a mode of interaction with a graphical user interface, the mode of interaction associated with one or more of active haptic feedback or passive haptic feedback;
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first signal is associated with changing from active haptic feedback to passive haptic feedback.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first signal is associated with changing from passive haptic feedback to active haptic feedback.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first signal is controlled to return to a default setting after a period of time.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first signal is received from a sensor configured to detect one or more of an orientation or movement of an electronic device.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interaction comprises an interaction with a touch surface.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the user interaction further comprises interaction with one or more objects displayed in the graphical user interface.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the mode of interaction a is associated with active haptic feedback, and wherein the haptic effect comprises an effect associated with a virtual weight of a virtual object.
9. The method of claim 7, wherein the mode of interaction a is associated with passive haptic feedback, and wherein the haptic effect comprises an effect associated with one or more surface features of a virtual object.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the second signal is received from a sensor configured to detect one or more of an orientation or movement of an electronic device.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein the user interaction comprises on or more of: tilting, shaking, rotating, or moving the electronic device.
12. A portable messaging device comprising:
a first sensor configured to output a first sensor signal associated with a mode of interaction with a graphical user interface, the mode of interaction associated with one or more of active haptic feedback or passive haptic feedback;
a second sensor configured to output a second sensor signal associated with a user interaction with the graphical user interface; and
13. The portable messaging device of claim 12, wherein the first sensor signal is associated with changing from active haptic feedback to passive haptic feedback.
14. The portable messaging device of claim 12, wherein the second sensor signal is associated with changing from passive haptic feedback to active haptic feedback.
15. The portable messaging device of claim 12, wherein the user interaction comprises interaction with one or more objects displayed in the graphical user interface.
16. The portable messaging device of claim 15, wherein the mode of interaction is associated with active haptic feedback, and wherein the haptic effect comprises an effect associated with a virtual weight of a virtual object.
17. The portable messaging device of claim 15, wherein the mode of interaction is associated with passive haptic feedback, and wherein the haptic effect comprises an effect associated with one or more surface features of a virtual object.
receive a first signal associated with a mode of interaction with a graphical user interface, the mode of interaction associated with one or more of active haptic feedback or passive haptic feedback;
receive a second signal associated with a user interaction with the graphical user interface;
generate a haptic signal associated with the haptic effect.
19. The non-transient computer readable medium of claim 18, wherein the first signal is associated with changing from active haptic feedback to passive haptic feedback.
20. The non-transient computer readable medium of claim 18, wherein the first signal is associated with changing from passive haptic feedback to active haptic feedback.
