Abstract: A system may include an electromagnetic load capable of generating a haptic event and a haptic processor configured to receive at least one first parameter indicative of a desired perception of the haptic event to a user of a device comprising the electromagnetic load, receive at least one second parameter indicative of one or more characteristics of the device, and process the at least one first parameter and the at least one second parameter to generate a driving signal to the electromagnetic load in order to produce the desired perception to the user despite variances in the device that cause an actual perception of the haptic event to vary from the desired perception.

Abstract: A multi-path audio amplification system that provides an output drive signal to electromechanical output transducers provides improved undistorted headroom, reduced path switching noise, and/or improved frequency response performance. Multiple signal amplification paths receive an audio input signal and have corresponding multiple output stages that have differing output impedances. A mode selector selects an active one of the multiple signal amplification paths is selected to supply the output drive signal. Outputs of the multiple output stages are coupled to the electromechanical transducer to provide the output drive signal and at least one of the multiple signal amplification paths includes an equalization filter for filtering the audio input signal to compensate for phase or gain differences referenced from the input to the outputs of the multiple output stages due to interaction between the differing output impedances and an impedance of the electromechanical transducer.

Abstract: A method for identifying a mechanical impedance of an electromagnetic load may include generating a waveform signal for driving an electromagnetic load and, during driving of the electromagnetic load by the waveform signal or a signal derived therefrom, receiving a current signal representative of a current associated with the electromagnetic load and a back electromotive force signal representative of a back electromotive force associated with the electromagnetic load. The method may also include implementing an adaptive filter to identify parameters of the mechanical impedance of the electromagnetic load, wherein an input of a coefficient control for adapting coefficients of the adaptive filter is a first signal derived from the back electromotive force signal and a target of the coefficient control for adapting coefficients of the adaptive filter is a second signal derived from the current signal.

Abstract: A system includes a sequencer that divides a reference waveform into reference sequences, a sequence adjuster, and a model that models non-linearities of a haptic rendering signal chain that includes a haptic transducer load and a driver to the load. For each reference sequence: the sequence adjuster transforms the reference sequence into a test sequence using one or more parameters (e.g., changes reference sequence amplitude and/or period), the model generates an output in response to the test sequence, an error signal is generated that measures a difference between the output and the reference sequence, and if the error signal is above a threshold the parameters are adjusted based on the error signal. These operations are repeated until the error signal is below the threshold in which case the test sequence becomes a selected sequence, which is then sent to the haptic rendering signal chain.

Abstract: A system may include a vibrating surface, a first mechanical transducer mechanically coupled to the vibrating surface, a second mechanical transducer mechanically coupled to the vibrating surface at a location different than that of the first mechanical transducer, a first signal path for driving the first mechanical transducer, wherein the first signal path comprises a first amplifier and a first filter having a first frequency response, a second signal path for driving the second mechanical transducer, wherein the second signal path comprises a second amplifier and a second filter having a second frequency response, and a control subsystem. The control subsystem may include an analysis block configured to cross-correlate a first vibrational energy at a first location of the vibrating surface with a second vibrational energy at a second location of the vibrating surface and a coefficient control block configured to adaptively modify at least one of the first frequency response and the second frequency response responsive to cross-correlation of the first vibrational energy and the second vibrational energy in order to maximize differences between the first vibrational energy and the second vibrational energy.

Abstract: A bass enhancement may be applied to improve the perception of low-frequency sounds by a user of an electronic device. A distortion function may be applied to the audio signal that results in creation of higher frequency content related to the low-frequency sounds. This higher frequency content may be interpreted by a listener's ear in a similar manner as the low-frequency sounds. The distortion function may be a Sigmoid function. Bass enhancements may also include scaling of the audio signal prior to distortion, adaptation of the distortion, or gap band filtering prior to the distortion.

Abstract: A system may include a signal generator configured to generate a raw waveform signal and a modeling subsystem configured to implement a discrete time model of an electromagnetic load that emulates a virtual electromagnetic load and further configured to modify the raw waveform signal to generate a waveform signal for driving the electromagnetic load by modifying the virtual electromagnetic load to have a desired characteristic, applying the discrete time model to the raw waveform signal to generate the waveform signal for driving the electromagnetic load, and applying the waveform signal to the electromagnetic load.
