Abstract:
Devices and methods for providing localized haptic effects are provided. The devices include a haptically enabled display device having one or more haptic actuators. The one or more haptic actuators are located in a non-viewing area of a display screen of a haptically enabled display device and cause localized haptic effects in a viewing area of the display screen. The haptically enabled display device includes a processor configured to determine haptic control signals for activating the haptic actuators. The haptic control signal activates the one or more haptic actuators to provide a localized haptic effect at a target location in the viewing area, remote from the non-viewing area location of the one or more haptic actuators.

Claim (Index 1):
A haptically enabled display device comprising:\n a display screen having a viewing area and a non-viewing area, the display screen comprising a plurality of display components configured for providing a visual display in the viewing area; a plurality of haptic actuators secured to the display screen in the non-viewing area; and at least one processor configured to\n select at least one haptic actuator from among the plurality of haptic actuators, \n determine a haptic control signal configured to activate the at least one haptic actuator in the non-viewing area of the display screen and thereby cause a localized haptic effect at a target location that is a discrete portion of the viewing area of the display screen and cause only substantially tactilely imperceptible haptic effects at locations in the viewing area outside of the target location, and \n transmit the haptic control signal to the at least one haptic actuator to cause the localized haptic effect at the target location.
