Abstract
Systems and methods for minimal haptic implementation are disclosed. For example, one disclosed system includes: an actuator; and a control-circuit in communication with the actuator, the control circuit configured to: receive a haptic signal including a first bit indicating a power state; and transmit a power signal based on the haptic signal, the power signal configured to cause the actuator to operate at an actuation state at a fixed power.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an actuator;
- and
- a control-circuit in communication with the actuator, the control circuit configured to:
- receive a 2-bit haptic signal comprising a first bit indicating a power state of the actuator and a second bit indicting an actuation state, wherein the power state includes an on state or an off state, and wherein the actuation state is a direction of acceleration;
- and
- transmit a power signal based on the haptic signal, the power signal configured to cause the actuator to operate in the actuation state.

A method comprising:
- receiving a 2-bit haptic signal comprising a first bit indicating a power state, and a second bit indicting an actuation state, wherein the power state includes an on state or an off state, and wherein the actuation state is a direction of acceleration;
- and
- transmitting a power signal based on the haptic signal to an actuator, the power signal configured to cause the actuator to operate at the actuation state.
