Original Abstract Submitted
method for generating haptic feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface and on a second user interface. processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface. processor monitors location of the first touch input on the first user interface and location of the second touch input on the second user interface. processor determines distance between location of first touch input on first user interface and location on first user interface corresponding to location of second touch input on second user interface. processor causes the first user interface and the second user interface to generate a haptic feedback response based on the distance. the haptic feedback response increases in intensity or speed as the distance decreases and decreases in intensity or speed as the distance increases. other embodiments are described herein.
