Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide a device to adaptively generate a haptic effect. The device may include a controller to generate a haptic command associated with a haptic profile and a haptic driver to generate a drive signal based on the haptic command, wherein the drive signal causes an actuator to produce vibrations corresponding to a haptic effect. Further, the device may include a sensor, coupled mechanically to the actuator, to measure at least one property of the vibrations. The controller may adjust the haptic command according to the measured at least one property. Therefore, the device may continuously tune haptic effect generation according to vibration measurements.

Abstract: Techniques to provide a three-dimensional (“3D”) user interface (“UI”) processing system for a device that may include at least one sensor, a 3D display, and a controller. The controller may include a memory, which may store instructional information, and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive sensor data from the sensor(s) and to interpret sensor data according to the instructional information. The processor may generate a user interface command(s) and transmit the command(s) to the 3D display to control and/or manipulate the 3D display. The processor may also generate host commands to control and/or execute applications within a host system of the device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a user interface processing system for a device that may include at least one sensor, at least one output device, and a controller. The controller may include a memory, which may store instructional information, and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive sensor data from the at least one sensor and to interpret sensor data according to the instructional information. The processor may also generate a user interface feedback command and transmit the command to the at least one output device. Furthermore, the processor may report the sensor data to a host system of the device. By processing the sensor data and generating a corresponding feedback response, for example a haptic response, without the need for host system processing, the user interface controller may decrease latency in providing the feedback response to the user.
