AUTOMATED HAPTIC EFFECT ACCOMPANIMENT

Abstract:

A method of playing media on a device includes initiating the playing of audio/video ("A/V") media on the device, and then identifying the A/V media. The method further includes selecting a pre-defined haptic track that corresponds to the identified A/V media, and playing the selected pre-defined haptic track in synchrony with the playing of the A/V, where the playing of the selected pre-defined haptic track generates haptic effects on the device.
