Systems and methods for providing remote touch

A method for providing remote touch of a first person to a second person, wherein the first person is associated with a first device and the second person is associated with a haptic terminal communicably coupled to the first device by a communication network, the method comprising:

• capturing data related to a sliding movement of a pointer along a first touch sensor of the first device;
• sending the captured data by communication means of the first device using the communication network;
• receiving the captured data by receiving means of the haptic terminal;
• forming a control signal, using the received captured data, by a processing unit of the haptic terminal;
• replicating touch based on the control signal by a touch replicator of the haptic terminal, wherein the replicated touch is a caress;
• learning a first touch pattern, emanating from the first person, using the received captured data by the processing unit;
• and
• controlling the touch replicator of the haptic terminal, when the communication network is unavailable, by using the learned first touch pattern, the first touch pattern comprising a start phase, an active phase and an end phase.
