Low-Power Salient Haptics - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240310915 titled 'Low-Power Salient Haptics
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an electronic device that optimizes haptic and audio waveform components of a notification to maximize their amplitudes within low power constraints.
- The device provides a haptic waveform component at full low power headroom, followed by an audio waveform component at the same power level.
- By maximizing the amplitudes of both components, the notification becomes more salient to the user.
- The proximity of the waveform components in time allows them to be perceived as occurring simultaneously.
- This innovation ensures that the notification remains within the device's low power constraints while enhancing user experience.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Optimization of haptic and audio waveform components within low power constraints.
- Maximization of waveform amplitudes to increase notification salience.
- Simultaneous delivery of haptic and audio components for enhanced user experience.
Potential Applications:
- Mobile devices
- Wearable technology
- Gaming consoles
Problems Solved:
- Maximizing notification salience within low power constraints.
- Enhancing user experience with optimized waveform components.
Benefits:
- Improved user engagement
- Efficient power usage
- Enhanced notification delivery
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied to various consumer electronics to improve user experience and optimize power usage in devices.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the device ensure that both haptic and audio waveform components are perceived as occurring simultaneously? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different types of electronic devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device provides a haptic waveform component of a haptic notification at a full low power headroom followed by an audio waveform component of the haptic notification at the full low power headroom. in this way, the amplitude of each of the waveform components may be maximized as much as is allowed by the device's low power constraints while the proximity of the waveform components in time may still cause them to be perceived by people as provided at more or less the same time. as a result, the haptic notification may be more salient while staying within the device's low power constraints.
