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 14):
A method of delivering haptic effects to 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, the method comprising:\n selecting, by at least one processor, at least one haptic actuator from among a plurality of haptic actuators secured to the display screen in the non-viewing area; determining, by the at least one processor, a haptic control signal configured to activate the at least one haptic actuator to cause a localized haptic effect at a target location that is a discrete portion of the viewing area of the display screen and to cause only substantially tactilely imperceptible haptic effects at locations in the viewing area outside of the target location; transmitting the haptic control signal to the at least one haptic actuator; and causing, by the at least one haptic actuator, the localized haptic effect at the target location.
