  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING BOOST PROTECTION LOGIC
    Publication number: 20200043303
    Abstract: An apparatus, such as a haptic-enabled device, and a method for providing boost protection logic are presented. The method comprises receiving, by a control circuit of the apparatus, a nonzero drive signal to be used by the haptic actuator to generate a haptic effect. The control circuit causes a first portion of the nonzero drive signal to be applied to the haptic actuator in a boost mode. The control circuit detects a boost duration exceeding a first defined time threshold, such as a boost timeout threshold, or detects an accumulated boost time exceeding the first defined time threshold. In response, the control circuit causes a second portion of the nonzero drive signal to be applied to the haptic actuator in an amplitude-limited mode.

  • Systems and methods for providing haptic feedback via a case
    Patent number: 10444844
    Abstract: One illustrative system disclosed herein includes a case configured to mechanically couple with a mobile device and position the mobile device such that the mobile device serves as a display for the case. The system also includes a processor coupled to the case and configured to generate a haptic signal based at least in part on a characteristic of the case. The system also includes a haptic output device in communication with the processor and configured to receive the haptic signal and output a haptic effect in response to the haptic signal.
