Abstract:
A system and method of generating a set of preferred haptic settings for a user based on haptic settings chosen by other similar users is presented. The method includes maintaining a database of haptic software applications with associated haptic configuration settings. When a user loads a haptic software application such as a computer game or video, a server receives a communication identifying the particular computer game or video and the identity of the user. The server searches the database for other users of the computer game or video where the other users have similar setting preferences as the user. The server calculates a preferred set of configuration settings and sends those settings to the user where a haptic output device produces haptic effects based on the preferred set of configuration settings. A system that generates haptic setting based on similar users is also presented.

Claim (Index 33):
A method performed by a computing device for automatically generating a recommended haptic setting, wherein the recommended haptic setting is a value of a haptic parameter used to generate a haptic effect, the method comprising:\n receiving, from a haptic enabled device, a first application identifier that identifies a first haptic enabled software application installed or being executed on the haptic enabled device, wherein the haptic enabled device is associated with a first user identifier; identifying, from a database stored on or in communication with the computing device, a second application identifier associated with the first user identifier; identifying a haptic setting associated with the first user identifier and the second application identifier in the database; identifying all user identifiers that are associated with both the second application identifier and the first user identifier in the database; identifying, from among all user identifiers that are associated with the second application identifier and the first application identifier, a subset of user identifiers having associated haptic settings for the second application identifier that are substantially the same as the haptic setting associated with the first user identifier and the second application identifier; identifying, from the database, a plurality of haptic settings that are associated with the subset of user identifiers and with the first application identifier, wherein the plurality of haptic settings are a plurality of respective values of the haptic parameter; determining a recommended haptic setting based on the plurality of haptic settings; and transmitting the recommended haptic setting to the haptic enabled device to cause the haptic enabled device to generate the haptic effect for the first haptic enabled software application based on the recommended haptic setting.
