Haptic communication system using cutaneous actuators for simulation of continuous human touch
摘要
說明書
The haptic communication system 1700 receives 1780 speech sounds 1702 or a textual message 1710. The speech sounds 1702 may be received by the microphone 1704. The textual message 1710 may be received by the speech synthesizer 1712.
The haptic communication system 1700 generates 1782 speech signals (e.g., 1706 or 1714) corresponding to the speech sounds 1702 or the textual message 1710. The microphone 1704 may generate the speech signals 1706 by digitizing the speech sounds 1702. The speech synthesizer 1712 may generate the speech signals 1706 by mapping the textual message 1710 to stored sound signals.
The haptic communication system 1700 extracts 1784 a temporal envelope 1754 from the speech signals 1706. The temporal envelope 1754 represents changes in amplitude of the speech signals 1706.
The haptic communication system 1700 generates 1786 carrier signals 1774 having a periodic waveform. The carrier signal generator 1772 may generate periodic pulses or waveform carrier signals 1774 at a steady base frequency of alternation on which information from the temporal envelope 1754 can be imposed.
