Abstract

Methods and systems using a haptics library to determine whether to provide predefined haptic responses or parametrically-defined haptic responses are disclosed. A method includes receiving a desired semantic attribute for a haptic response to be provided while a user is using an application that is executing on an electronic device. In accordance with a determination, made by the haptics library that is distinct from the application and that is configured to provide data used to generate haptic responses to applications executing on the electronic device, that the electronic device should use a parametrically-defined haptic response to deliver a haptic response having the desired semantic attribute, selecting, by the haptics library, respective values for a set of haptic-response parameters; and providing instructions to cause haptic generators of the electronic device to deliver a parametrically-defined haptic response having the desired semantic attribute using the respective values for the set of haptic-response parameters.
