Publication number: 20140104165Abstract: A system that produces a haptic effect and generates a drive signal that includes at least two haptic effect signals each having a priority level. The haptic effect is a combination of the haptic effect signals and priority levels. The haptic effect may optionally be a combination of the two haptic effect signals if the priority levels are the same, otherwise only the haptic effect signal with the highest priority is used. The frequency of haptic notifications may also be used to generate a drive signal using foreground and background haptic effect channels depending on whether the frequency ratio exceeds a foreground haptic effect threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2013Publication date: April 17, 2014Applicant: IMMERSION CORPORATIONInventors: David Birnbaum, Chris Ullrich, Jason Short, Ryan Devenish

Patent number: 8659571Abstract: A system that produces a dynamic haptic effect and generates a drive signal that includes a gesture signal and a real or virtual device sensor signal. The haptic effect is modified dynamically based on both the gesture signal and the real or virtual device sensor signal such as from an accelerometer or gyroscope, or by a signal created from processing data such as still images, video or sound. The haptic effect may optionally be modified dynamically by using the gesture signal and the real or virtual device sensor signal and a physical model, or may optionally be applied concurrently to multiple devices which are connected via a communication link. The haptic effect may optionally be encoded into a data file on a first device. The data file is then communicated to a second device and the haptic effect is read from the data file and applied to the second device.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Immersion CorporationInventors: David Birnbaum, Chris Ullrich, Jason Short, Ryan Devenish

Publication number: 20130311881Abstract: Systems and methods for haptically enabled metadata are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment of a method comprises receiving, by an electronic device, an electronic list corresponding to a plurality of data items. The method further comprises analyzing, by the electronic device, metadata within the electronic list to determine a haptic effect associated with a first data item in the plurality of data items. The method further comprises generating a signal, the signal being generated when information corresponding to the first data item is initially displayed on a display associated with the electronic device, the signal configured to cause the haptic effect. The method further comprises outputting the signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2012Publication date: November 21, 2013Applicant: Immersion CorporationInventors: David Birnbaum, Marcus Aurelius Bothsa, Jason Short, Ryan Devenish, Chris Ullrich

Patent number: 8539353Abstract: A computer-implemented method for interacting with a file stored on a computing device that includes a display. The method includes causing a first user interface element to be displayed; receiving user input; determining that the user input is received for a duration of time greater than a threshold value; and, in response to determining, causing a first full tab to be displayed on a first side of the first user interface element, where the first full tab is associated with a first function for manipulating the file.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2010Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Michael Jones, Ryan Devenish, Jonathan Kaplan, John Furlan, Elizabeth A.

Patent number: 8516395Abstract: A method that includes causing at least a portion of a first representation of a first file and at least a portion of a second representation of a second file to be displayed in a user interface on a display associated with a computing device, where the first file is included in a first folder included in a folder structure stored in a memory included within the computing device, and the second file is included in a second folder included in the folder structure. The method further includes receiving user input to navigate content stored in the folder structure, and, in response to the user input, causing the at least a portion of the first representation and the at least a portion of the second representation to move in a first direction within the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2010Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Ariel Braunstein, Jonathan Kaplan, John Furlan, Richard Tobais Inman, Elizabeth A.
