Abstract:
A system includes a user interface configured to receive an input from a user of the system, a sensor configured to sense a position of a user input element relative to the user interface, and a processor configured to receive an input signal from the sensor based on the position of the user input element relative to the user interface, determine a haptic effect based on the input signal, and output a haptic effect generation signal based on the determined haptic effect. A haptic output device is configured to receive the haptic effect generation signal from the processor and generate the determined haptic effect to the user, the haptic output device being located separate from the user interface so that the determined haptic effect is generated away from the user interface.

Claim (Index 16):
A system for controlling functions in a vehicle, the system comprising:\n a user interface disposed in the vehicle and configured to receive an input at a zone of one or more zones of the user interface, wherein each zone of the one or more zones is configured to control parameters of a respective vehicle subsystem separate from and in communication with the user interface; a haptic output device disposed in the vehicle and located separate from the user interface; and a processor disposed in the vehicle and configured\n to determine that an input element is proximate to or located at a first zone of the one or more zones, \n to determine a haptic effect to generate to indicate that a set of functions of a respective vehicle subsystem controlled by the first zone is accessible due to the input element being proximate to or located at the first zone, wherein the haptic effect is based on which zone the input element is proximate to or located at, \n to generate a haptic effect generation signal based on the haptic effect that is determined, and \n to communicate the haptic effect generation signal to the haptic output device, \n wherein the haptic output device is configured to receive the haptic effect generation signal from the processor and generate the haptic effect that is determined, the haptic effect being generated away from the user interface.
