Application: Systems and methods for arbitrary haptic waveform generation (Patent ID: US20240198216A1)
The patent filed by Microsoft describes a method for providing haptic feedback to a user by determining the dynamic resonant frequency of a haptic device, mapping haptic information to a resonant waveform with the dynamic resonant frequency, outputting a haptic waveform, and driving the haptic device accordingly. The method involves altering the amplitude of the resonant waveform based on the haptic information, setting a time step for amplitude changes based on the dynamic resonant frequency, and downsampling a high sample-rate haptic waveform based on the time step.
Additionally, the patent includes claims for an electronic device controller with a haptics controller, linear haptic device, and instructions stored on a hardware storage device to carry out the method. The controller can determine the dynamic resonant frequency of the haptic device, receive haptic information, map it to the dynamic resonant frequency, output a haptic waveform, and drive the haptic device accordingly. The controller can also select between different haptic devices based on the haptic information, conserve power during haptic feedback, and calculate haptic information from software audio information.
