Abstract:
A method of generating haptic effects on a haptic-enabled device having a control unit and a haptic output device is provided. The method comprises receiving a haptic track that describes a time-varying magnitude envelope for driving the haptic output device to generate a haptic effect. The method further comprises generating a periodic drive signal with a time-varying frequency that is based on magnitude values of the time-varying magnitude envelope described in the haptic track. The method further comprises outputting the periodic drive signal to the haptic output device, to cause the haptic output device to generate the haptic effect based on the periodic drive signal.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of generating haptic effects on a haptic-enabled device having a control unit and a haptic output device, the method comprising:\n receiving, by the control unit, a haptic track that describes a time-varying magnitude envelope for driving the haptic output device to generate a haptic effect; generating, by the control unit, a drive signal that includes a series of pulses having respective pulse durations, wherein the series of pulses are separated by separation durations in which the drive signal has a voltage value or a current value of zero, wherein the respective pulse durations are based on magnitude values of the time-varying magnitude envelope described in the haptic track, and wherein at least two pulse durations of the respective pulse durations are different, and wherein all of the separation durations are the same; and outputting, by the control unit, the drive signal to the haptic output device, to cause the haptic output device to generate the haptic effect based on the drive signal.
