Low-frequency effects haptic conversion system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• generate a low frequency information audio signal based on a multichannel audio signal;
• synthesize a haptic signal from the low frequency information audio signal;
• provide one or more haptic effect parameters of the haptic signal to a user for adjusting the one or more haptic effect parameters;
• receive one or more user adjustments to at least one of the one or more haptic effect parameters;
• adjust the haptic signal based on the one or more user adjustments to obtain an adjusted haptic signal;
• and
• embed the adjusted haptic signal in a data stream that encodes at least the multichannel audio signal, wherein the adjusted haptic signal is encoded within the low frequency information audio signal.

A method comprising:

• receiving a data stream that embeds both an adjusted haptic track and a multichannel audio signal, wherein the adjusted haptic track is generated based on a haptic track that is synthesized from a low frequency information audio signal of the multichannel audio signal and one or more user adjustments to at least one haptic effect parameter of the haptic track, wherein the adjusted haptic signal is encoded within the low frequency information audio signal;
• decoding the data stream to produce the multichannel audio signal;
• sending the multichannel audio signal to one or more audio output devices;
• decoding the adjusted haptic track to produce a haptic signal;
• and
• sending the third haptic signal to a haptic actuator.
