In one embodiment, the haptic illusion signals 202 generated by the social networking system 228 may be generated by combining generic haptic illusion signals with personalized haptic illusion signals customized to the sending user. The generic haptic illusion signals may correspond to predetermined the social touch lexicon such as “Greeting,” “Parting,” “Consoling,” etc. The haptic illusion signals 202 may include one or more of aggregate values based on the signals 256, a shape of a wave of the received sensor signals 207, a frequency-domain representation of the signals 256, and a time-domain sample of the received signals 256. The processor circuit 232 may convert the signals 256 from the time or space domain to the frequency domain, e.g., using a Fourier transform to create a frequency-domain representation. The processor circuit 232 may performing time-domain sampling of the signals 256. Time-domain sampling reduces the signals 256 to a set of discrete-time samples, such as a set of values at a point in time and/or space.
In one embodiment, the processor circuit 232 may include a feature extraction component 236 operatively communicate with the sensor interface circuit 220 and extract features 244 from the received signals 256, as illustrated and described in detail below with respect to
