說明書
In the following description of embodiments, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide more thorough understanding. However, note that the embodiments may be practiced without one or more of these specific details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily complicating the description.
Embodiments are described herein with reference to the figures where like reference numbers indicate identical or functionally similar elements. Also in the figures, the left most digits of each reference number corresponds to the figure in which the reference number is first used.
Haptic Communication System Using Cutaneous Actuators
Embodiments relate to a mode of communication using the sense of touch to convey messages (including speech) to a user's body. A haptic output in the form of haptic outputs, for example, is generated by cutaneous actuators attached to the user's body. To generate the haptic output, a message is processed by an algorithm to generate a corresponding haptic illusion signal that is transmitted to a receiving device of the user to operate the actuators. The generated haptic illusion signals are processed into actuator signals for activating the cutaneous actuators. The cutaneous actuators receive the transmitted haptic illusion signals and transmit the haptic output corresponding to the received haptic illusion signals to a body of a receiving user.
