Abstract
Methods and apparatus of generating a haptic effect from an audio signal are disclosed. To reach that aim, classification information representative of a type of an audio content associated with the audio signal is obtained. Detection parameters are selected according to the classification information. One or more components of the audio signal are detected according to the detection parameters. One or more characteristics representative of the detected components are determined. The haptic effect is generated according to the characteristics.
Claims12
A method of generating a haptic effect, the method comprising:
- obtaining classification information representative of a type of an audio content associated with an audio signal;
- selecting a set of detection parameters among a plurality of sets of detection parameters according to said classification information using mapping information, said mapping information mapping each set of detection parameters of said plurality of sets of detection parameters with a determined type of audio content of a list of different types of audio content;
- detecting at least a component of said audio signal according to said set of detection parameters;
- determining at least a characteristic representative of said at least a component;
- and
- generating said haptic effect according to said at least a characteristic.
The method according to claim 1, further comprising obtaining a set of user-preference parameters representative of preference of a user, said haptic effect being further generated according to said set of user-preference parameters. 3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:
- receiving mode information representative of a rendering mode for rendering said haptic effect;
- selecting said set of user-preference parameters among a plurality of sets of user-preference parameters according to said mode information.
