`
`ABSTRACT
`
`A system that produces a dynamic haptic effect and generates a drive signal
`
`that includes a gesture signal and a real or virtual device sensor signal. The haptic
`
`effect is modified dynamically based on both the gesture signal and the real or virtual
`
`device sensor signal such as from an accelerometer or gyroscope, or by a signal
`
`created from processing data such as still images, video or sound. The haptic effect
`
`may optionally be modified dynamically by using the gesture signal and the real or
`
`virtual device sensor signal and a physical model, or may optionally be, applied
`
`concurrently to multiple devices which are connected via a communication link. The
`
`haptic effect may optionally be encoded into a data file on a first device. The data file
`
`is then communicated to a second device and the haptic effect is read from the data
`
`file and applied to the second device.

`
`Statement under 37 CFR 1.55 or 1.78 for AlA (First Inventor to File) Transition Applications:
`
`PROTECTING YOUR INVENTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
`
`Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no
`effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in another country must apply for a patent
`in a specific country or in regional patent offices. Applicants may wish to consider the filing of an international
`application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). An international (PCT) application generally has the same
`effect as a regular national patent application in each PCT-member country. The PCT process simplifies the filing
`of patent applications on the same invention in member countries, but does not result in a grant of "an international
`patent" and does not eliminate the need of applicants to file additional documents and fees in countries where patent
`protection is desired.
`
`Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must make an
`application for patent in that country in accordance with its particular laws. Since the laws of many countries differ
`in various respects from the patent law of the United States, applicants are advised to seek guidance from specific
`foreign countries to ensure that patent rights are not lost prematurely.
`
`Applicants also are advised that in the case of inventions made in the United States, the Director of the USPTO must
`issue a license before applicants can apply for a patent in a foreign country. The filing of a U.S. patent application
`serves as a request for a foreign filing license. The application's filing receipt contains further information and
`guidance as to the status of applicant's license for foreign filing.
`
`Applicants may wish to consult the USPTO booklet, "General Information Concerning Patents" (specifically, the
`section entitled "Treaties and Foreign Patents") for more information on timeframes and deadlines for filing foreign
`patent applications. The guide is available either by contacting the USPTO Contact Center at 800-786-9199, or it
`can be viewed on tile USPTO website at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/general/index.htrnl.
`
`For information on preventing theft of your intellectual property (patents, trademarks and copyrights), you may wish
`to consult the U.S. Government website, http://www.stopfakes.gov. Part of a Department of Commerce initiative,
`this website includes self-help "toolkits" giving innovators guidance on how to protect intellectual property in specific
`countries such as China, Korea and Mexico. For questions regarding patent enforcement issues, applicants may
`call the U.S. Government hotline at 1-866-999-HALT (1-866-999-4258).

`LICENSE FOR FOREIGN FILING UNDER
`
`Title 35, United States Code, Section 184
`
`Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations, 5.11 & 5.15
`
`GRANTED
`
`The applicant has been granted a license under 35 U.S.C. 184, if the phrase "IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`LICENSE GRANTED" followed by a date appears on this form. Such licenses are issued in all applications where
`the conditions for issuance of a license have been met, regardless of whether or not a license may be required as
`set forth in 37 CFR 5.15. The scope and limitations of this license are set forth in 37 CFR 5.15(a) unless an earlier
`license has been issued under 37 CFR 5.15(b). The license is subject to revocation upon written notification. The
`date indicated is the effective date of the license, unless an earlier license of similar scope has been granted under
`37 CFR 5.13 or 5.14.
`
`This license is to be retained by the licensee and may be used at any time on or after the effective date thereof unless
`it is revoked. This license is automatically transferred to any related applications(s) filed under 37 CFR 1.53(d). This
`license is not retroactive.
`
`The grant of a license does not in any way lessen the responsibility of a licensee for the security of the subject matter
`as imposed by any Government contract or the provisions of existing laws relating to espionage and the national
`security or the export of technical data. Licensees should apprise themselves of current regulations especially with
`respect to certain countries, of other agencies, particularly the Office of Defense Trade Controls, Department of
`State (with respect to Arms, Munitions and Implements of War (22 CFR 121-128)); the Bureau of Industry and
`Security, Department of Commerce (15 CFR parts 730-774); the Office of Foreign AssetsControl, Department of
`Treasury (31 CFR Parts 500+) and the Department of Energy.
`
`NOT GRANTED
`
`No license under 35 U.S.C. 184 has been granted at this time, if the phrase "IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`LICENSE GRANTED" DOES NOT appear on this form. Applicant may still petition for a license under 37 CFR 5. 12,
`if a license is desired before the expiration of 6 months from the filing date of the application. If 6 months has lapsed
`from the filing date of this application and the licensee has not received any indication of a secrecy order under 35
`U.S.C. 181 , the licensee may foreign file the application pursuantto 37 CFR 5.15(b).

`NOTICE TO FILE CORRECTED APPLICATION PAPERS
`
`Filing Date Granted
`
`An application number and filing date have been accorded to this application. The application is informal since
`it does not comply with the regulations for the reason(s) indicated below. Applicant is given TWO MONTHS
`from the date of this Notice within which to correct the informalities indicated below. Extensions of time may be
`obtained by filing a petition accompanied by the extension fee under the provisions of 37 CFR 1.136(a).
`
`The required item(s) identified below must be timely submitted to avoid abandonment:
`
`• A substitute specification in compliance with 37 CFR 1.52, 1.121 (b)(3), and 1 .125, is required. The substitute
`specification must be submitted with markings and be accompanied by a clean version (without markings) as
`set forth in 37 CFR 1.125(c) and a statement that the substitute specification contains no new matter (see 37
`CFR 1.125(b)). The specification, claims, and/or abstract page(s) submitted is not acceptable and cannot be
`scanned or properly stored because:

`views of the drawings as required by 37 CFR 1.74 and 37 CFR 1.77(b)(7).
`
`Applicant is cautioned that correction of the above items may cause the specification and drawings page count to

`application size fee.
