Application: System and method to convert audio signals to haptic signals (Patent ID: US20240184369A1)

The patent filed by Microchip Technology Inc. describes a device that receives an input audio signal and converts it into a haptic signal for use by a haptic actuator. The device includes signal conversion circuitry that applies a frequency-dependent adjustment to the received audio signal to generate the haptic signal. This technology allows for the conversion of audio signals into tactile feedback for applications such as game controllers or virtual reality headsets.

The device's signal conversion circuitry includes equalizer circuitry to apply frequency-based gain adjustments and amplifier circuitry to amplify the equalized signal. Additionally, a controller dynamically adjusts the voltage applied to the haptic actuator based on the equalized signal. The method described in the patent involves receiving an audio signal, converting it to a haptic signal, and driving a haptic actuator. This process includes applying frequency-based gain adjustments, dynamically adjusting the voltage applied to the haptic actuator, and potentially disabling the power supply for low-amplitude signals. Overall, the technology outlined in the patent enables the conversion of audio signals into tactile feedback through precise frequency adjustments and dynamic voltage control.
