Abstract
A system provides haptic functionality over a networked system. The system receives information from a first device registered at the networked system and determines a notification to be provided to a user based on the information. The system then selects a second device registered at the networked system and provides the notification to the user by producing a haptic effect on the second device.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to provide haptic functionality over a networked system, the processor:
- receiving information from a first device registered at the networked system;
- determining a notification to be provided to a user based on the information;
- selecting a second device registered at the networked system, wherein the second device is selected based on a user interaction with the second device;
- and
- providing the notification to the user by causing the second device to produce a haptic effect.
A method of providing haptic functionality over a networked system, the method comprising:
- receiving information from a first device registered at the networked system;
- determining a notification to be provided to a user based on the information;
- selecting a second device registered at the networked system, wherein the second device is selected based on a user interaction with the second device;
- and
- providing the notification to the user by causing the second device to produce a haptic effect.
A system for providing haptic functionality over a networked system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- receive information from a first device registered at the networked system;
- determine a notification to be provided to a user based on the information;
- select a second device registered at the networked system, wherein the second device is selected based on a user interaction with the second device;
- and
- provide the notification to the user by causing the second device to produce a haptic effect.
