MUMBAI, India, June 19 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617058451 A) filed by Socit Industrielle De Sonceboz S. A on May 07, 2026, for Motorized Haptic Peripheral.
Inventors include Alzingre, Jean-Daniel; and Vermot-Desroches, Martin.
The application for the patent was published on June 05, 2026, under issue no. 23/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a human-machine interface haptic peripheral comprising a rotary thumbwheel (250) comprising a human interaction element, directly driven by a rotary electromagnetic interaction means (10) comprising a stator assembly (100) having a plurality of coils (122, 123, 124) arranged on ferromagnetic teeth forming coil supports (132, 133, 134) and a rotor assembly (200) comprising a magnet (210) having a plurality of axially magnetized poles (211), the position of the rotor assembly being directly measured by an angular sensor (300), the peripheral further comprising an electronic control circuit (430) controlling the amplitude of the current energizing the coils depending on the angular signal delivered by the sensor, on the one hand, and on a haptic profile recorded in a memory (600) of the electronic control circuit, on the other hand, in order to deliver a torque adding to or subtracting from the torque applied to the thumbwheel by the user, characterized in that • - the stator is fixed and has at least two ferromagnetic teeth forming coil supports, and extending axially towards the magnet • - the disc magnet has an alternating axial magnetization, interacting with the ferromagnetic stator teeth.
