METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FRAME-ACCURATE HAPTICS INTERCHANGE FILE FORMAT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233498 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FRAME-ACCURATE HAPTICS INTERCHANGE FILE FORMAT

The patent application describes a method for signaling a haptic JSON interchange file format (HJIF) by processing it into a binary file format for distribution in a bitstream. The HJIF file contains multiple haptic channels, each defined by a channel description including relative position and haptic position parameters specified on a scale. The haptic effects and keyframes of each channel are synchronized with video or audio in the bitstream based on the scale.

  • Haptic JSON interchange file format (HJIF) processing into binary format
  • Multiple haptic channels with channel descriptions
  • Relative position and haptic position parameters specified on a scale
  • Synchronization of haptic effects and keyframes with video or audio in the bitstream
  • Innovation in haptic data distribution and synchronization

Potential Applications: - Virtual reality systems - Gaming consoles - Medical simulations - Training and education programs

Problems Solved: - Efficient distribution of haptic data - Synchronization of haptic effects with multimedia content

Benefits: - Enhanced user experience - Realistic haptic feedback - Improved immersion in virtual environments

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Haptic Data Distribution Technology for Virtual Reality Systems" This technology can be used in the development of virtual reality systems for gaming, medical simulations, training programs, and other applications. It can improve the user experience by providing realistic haptic feedback synchronized with multimedia content.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the synchronization of haptic effects with multimedia content? 2. What are the potential commercial uses of this innovation in virtual reality systems?


Original Abstract Submitted

a method of signaling a haptic java script object notation (json) interchange file format (hjif) file comprises processing the hjif file into a binary file format for distribution in a bitstream, in which the hjif file comprises a plurality of haptic channels, in which each haptic channel from the plurality of haptic channels is defined by a channel description that comprises a relative position parameter that specifies a relative position of a keyframe included in the data and a haptic position parameter of a haptic effect, in which the relative position parameter and the haptic position parameter are specified in accordance with a scale, and in which the haptic effect and keyframe of each channel are synchronized with video or audio included in the bitstream based on the scale.
