Abstract

A television system ("Smelly-Vision") broadcasts smells or odours 2, synchronised with images and sound. The system transmits odours 2 from the site 1 being televised to a viewer who has a smell generating terminal coupled to a television receiver. Odours may be recorded and pumped, via electrostatically enhanced capilliary action, along a tube 5 to the receiver destination 13. Alternatively, smells are recorded as a coded fingerprint on a film frame (11, Diagram B), the odour fingerprint being transmitted, and decoded by computer (14, Diagram B); after smell decoding, odorant cartridges (15, Diagram B) synthesis the recorded smells. Instead of smell cartridges, the use of particles, quanta or wave forms to stimulate a viewer's olfactory sense is also disclosed.

Description

DESCRIPTION
The smelly-vision is a broadcasting system that broadcasts smells in sync with sight and sound from the site televised to anywhere that has got a television with respective smell-monitoring terminal. I have suggested three means of effecting this: alternatives 1, 2 and 3.
In alternative 1, the objects being smellyvised give off their odourants, they reach an olfactory "cine-camera" that operates in sync and in conjunction with a TV-camera. Each frame ofmovie- film in the olfactory cine-camera simulates the complex of olfactory receptors that code for the odourants received. As this frame receives the odourants, it records say 50% of each odourant and pumps the rest of each odourant in the exact pattern as impressed on the "film" along a tubular cable to the terminal at the other end.
This transmission along the tube takes place by means of an electrostatically enhanced capillary action that enables the odourants to reach the terminal in sync with its related audio-visual frame.
In conjunction with the related sight and sound, the complex of odourants reaches the viewer's olfactory-buds in a manner that is topographically identical to that reaching the olfactory buds of those at the televised site and related camera-crew.
(Aside) Meanwhile, what has been recorded on the olfactory movie-frames can be fed into a computerised projector that has odourant cartridges to give a film-show of synchrony of colour, sight, sound and smell (end of Aside').
In alternative 2, the objects being smellyvised give off their odourants. They are transduced into a coded "fingerrint" that is picked up by a frame of "cine-film" in an olfactory "cine-camera".
This coded fingerprint can be transmitted through electric cables or on air to a computerised medium that decode the coded fingerprint into the odours it represents. This decoding monitors odourant cartridges to synthesize the odours represented by the frame.
A succession of * frames at the object-end monitors the change of odour in sync with the changing sight and sound being monitored at the viewer's end. Odourants can be composed from "Primary" odourants.
In alternative 3, the objects being smellyvised give off their odourants, they are transduced into a coded "fingerprint" that is picked up by a frame of"cine-film" in an olfactory "cine-camera".
This coded finger-print can be transmitted through electric cables or on air to a computerised medium that decodes the fingerprint into the odours it represents.
Instead of using odour-cartridges to monitor the emission of required odourants, it directs suitable particles, wave-form, or quanta to combine with the viewer's olfactory receptors in a manner that topographically represents the pattern in which the odourants at the site being televised combine with the olfactory receptors of those at that site.
* frames of olfactory "cine-frame".
So, a succession of * frames at the object-end monitors the change of odour in sync with the changing sight and sound being monitored at the viewer's end.
* frames of olfactory "cine-flim".

Claims (2)

1 In sync with a colour-television, a smelly-vision transmits odours of the site being televised to the viewer who has a smelly-vision terminal coupled with his television 2 A smelly-vision can transmit any given odours from the televised site to anywhere else in the world and perhaps to anywhere in outer-space that has a suitable terminal.
3 This transmission of odours enhances and facilitates communication, whereas until now only sight and sound could be transmitted for communication.
4 Atmospheres of places can be transmitted to anywhere.
It is original and not previously known.
Amended claims have been filed as follows I.) This is a television system which includes a means by which the actual smell being televased is piped along a tubular cable all the way to the set being viewed by the viewer so that the complex of odours can reach the viewer's olfactory receptors in its exact original state.
2) A television system as defined in claim 1 wherein electrostatically conducted capillary action within the tubular cable gives rise to prompt arrival at the terminal of the complex of odours being televised.
