Patent ID: 7209117

Claim:
A method, comprising: sending a source wave; sending a set of values associated with control parameters, said control parameters including at least one of a steady-state magnitude value, a frequency value, and a duration value associated with the source wave, the steady-state magnitude value associated with a steady-state magnitude of the source wave, the frequency value associated with a frequency of the source wave, the duration value associated with a duration of output of haptic feedback; sending impulse parameters, including: an impulse value, the impulse value associated with an impulse force level of the source wave, the value of the impulse force level being different from the value of the steady-state magnitude; a settle time, the settle time associated with a time for a magnitude of the force signal to change from the impulse force level to the value of the steady-state magnitude; and sending a force signal, the force signal based on the source wave, the set of control parameters, and the set of impulse parameters, the haptic feedback being based on the force signal.
