Abstract:
A haptic effect enabled device for producing a haptic effect. In some cases, the haptic effect may represent a component of a spatial pattern represented on a surface of the haptic effect enabled device. In some cases, the haptic effect enabled device may comprise a haptic output device, a drive module, and a drive circuit. The drive module may receive information indicative of a location of a touch input at the surface and determine whether the touch input's location corresponds with a location of one of multiple components of the spatial pattern. The drive module may generate a drive signal that the drive circuit then applies to the haptic output device to generate the haptic effect.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of producing a haptic effect, comprising:\n obtaining a spatial pattern defining a plurality of bounded spatial regions on a display, the spatial pattern comprising multiple spatial pattern components, each spatial pattern component defining a boundary of at least one bounded spatial region and at least one spatial pattern component defining a boundary between two bounded spatial regions; receiving information indicative of a location of a touch input at a surface; determining whether the location of the touch input corresponds with a location of one of the multiple spatial pattern components represented at multiple locations on the surface; in response to determining that the location of the touch input corresponds with the location of the one of the multiple spatial pattern components:\n generating a drive signal; and \n applying the drive signal to a haptic output device that is configured to produce a haptic effect at the surface.
