Patent 9507423 was granted and assigned to Immersion Corporation on November, 2016 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A system that generates haptic effects using an actuator sends a haptic effect definition to the actuator to cause a haptic effect corresponding to the haptic effect definition to be played. While the haptic effect is playing, the system processes the haptic effect definition. The processing includes adjusting a force value of the haptic effect definition based on an estimate or measurement of a current state of the actuator.
