Systems and methods for providing enhanced feedback on a personal communication device used for vehicle maneuvering

A personal communication device comprising:

• a touchscreen;
• a vibration generator;
• an audio system;
• a memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to at least:
• detect a vehicle maneuvering action performed upon the touchscreen;
• determine that the vehicle maneuvering action is associated with moving a vehicle in a first direction;
• transmit a first command to move the vehicle in the first direction;
• receive from the vehicle, movement information that includes a first confirmation that the vehicle is moving in the first direction;
• and
• generate a feedback in the personal communication device, the feedback comprising operating the vibration generator to generate a directional haptic vibration that moves in the first direction and/or operating the audio system to generate a spatial audio signal in spatial correspondence with the first direction;
• determine, from the movement information received from the vehicle, a first speed of the vehicle at a first instant in time and a second speed of the vehicle at a second instant in time;
• and
• set an intensity of the directional haptic vibration to a first level at the first instant in time and to a second level at the second instant in time.
