The main contributions of this paper are:
* We propose a generation method of Mediated Social Touch (MST) signals on smartphones, involving frequency, duration, and compound waveform compositions.
* We introduce a mapping function that translates MST gesture pressure into MST signal intensity by linking pressure values to signal frequency.
* We present a set of MST signals specifically designed for smartphones.
* We provide design insights and recommendations for applying MST signals in future smartphone-based social communication scenarios.
