Abstract
A method and a communication device for changing the shape of a flexible communication device is suggested. The suggested method is initiated by recognizing a request for actuating a haptic effect on the communication device. At least one property associated with the requested haptic effect, and at least one property of the communication device, where the latter is being caused by the shape of the communication device, are determined. Based on the mentioned properties, a determination is made on whether conditions, specifying requirements for reproducing the haptic effect on the communication device, are met or not. In case the mentioned conditions are not met, a modification of the shape of the device is determined, such that after such a modification the conditions are met with respect to the mentioned properties.
