Software Framework of Providing Haptic Interface And Computer Games under Windows OS using thereof

摘要

PURPOSE: A software framework for supporting a haptic application programming interface and a computer game system using the same are provided to support the haptic interface on a Windows OS(Operating System) based computer game giving an experiencing effect by applying the haptic interface to the computer game without modifying a game engine. CONSTITUTION: A haptic game device class layer(41) represents a hierarchical framework of each target haptic game device generating a vibration effect according to the force-feedback by loading a preset haptic effect. A haptic effect class layer(42) generates/manages various haptic effect systematically and efficiently. A device COM(Component Object Module) object management class(43) manages the COM devices for collectively representing the device for the PC peripheral device.
