Description

  The present invention relates to a sensation vibration cushion and a method of using the same.

The conventional sensation vibration cushion was depicted in FIG. In FIG. 4, 1 is a cushion, 2 is a vibrating body, 4 is a drive signal transmission cable, 100 is a drive circuit / controller, and 101 is an AC 100V outlet. Reference numeral 102 denotes an audio device, 103 denotes a speaker, and 104 denotes an audio signal cable. Thus, two cables, a drive signal transmission cable and an audio signal cable, are necessary. In the past, several devices have been devised that apply vibrations to the body in conjunction with music. In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-17513, an invention relating to a sound sheet is proposed by Beat Sonic. This is mainly related to crosstalk countermeasures between speakers and vibrators for the purpose of theater installation. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-44768 proposes an invention relating to a chair for a body sensation acoustic device from Aque Lab. The present invention relates to efficiently vibrating a lightweight chair. In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-111177, an invention relating to a music viewing chair is proposed by Denon Co., Ltd. This relates to signal delay countermeasures. In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-305409, Tokyo Parts Industry Co., Ltd. proposes an invention relating to a thin electromagnetic acoustic transducer for a mobile communication device and a method for using the same. This invention is aimed at silent calls of mobile phones. In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-202464, Mr. Hirano proposed an invention related to a vibration device. The idea is to apply it to massage equipment by adding an air pump function. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-66585 also proposes an invention relating to a multi-function vibration device from Mr. Hirano. This is also an idea to apply to massage equipment by adding an air pump function.

The conventional technology presupposes a sensation vibration device in which a vibrator is embedded in a fixed chair at a theater or the like. Actually, no particular ingenuity has been made for cable wiring. Most of the conventional technologies listed above are premised on embedding a vibrator in a fixed chair. However, there is a growing demand for more easily experiencing vibrations when listening to music. When enjoying the sensation vibration with the vibrator embedded in the cushion, the cable between the controller and the sound source feels in the way. The conventional technology has not devised this point. In this invention, it is going to solve the subject for enjoying a sensation vibration easily with a sensation vibration cushion.

First, in addition to the feature of a sensible vibration cushion in which a vibration body is embedded, the vibration body is embedded in the cushion and a drive circuit for driving the vibration body is embedded in the cushion. As a feature,
Second, in addition to the first feature, the embedded drive circuit has a wireless function,
Third, in addition to the second feature, in addition to the vibrator embedded in the cushion and the drive circuit with wireless function, a remote controller with wireless function is provided outside the cushion,
Fourth, as a method of using the sensation cushion having the second or third feature, a music signal is transmitted as a radio signal to the drive circuit, and the vibrating body vibrates according to the music signal. To do.

  By using the body sensation vibration cushion of the present invention, audio can be directly applied to the body, not just the sound from the ear. In recent years, audio devices have become smaller and more mobile, and more and more people enjoy moving to various places, such as sofas in the room and chairs at the table, instead of listening to music with a living reception set. ing. The present invention can further increase the chance of enjoying the sensation vibration by enhancing the mobility of the sensation vibration cushion.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, a vibration body 2 that can oscillate a low frequency is embedded in a cushion 1. The embedding position is a position facing the vicinity of the spine around the waist of a person leaning on this cushion. The drive circuit 3 for vibrating the vibrating body is embedded in the side part of the cushion. The vibrating body and the drive circuit are connected by a drive signal transmission cable 4. 101 is an AC100V outlet. Electric power required by the drive circuit can be obtained from a wall outlet, and high-power vibration can be oscillated. A controller 5 for adjusting the vibration intensity and vibration frequency characteristics of the vibrating body controls the drive circuit wirelessly. For this reason, the drive circuit is provided with a drive circuit radio device 6. The controller is provided with a controller radio device 7, and communication between the two radio devices, that is, between the drive circuit radio device and the controller radio device, is performed using a controller drive circuit radio signal 8. Similarly, the audio device 102 and the previous drive circuit are exchanged between the drive circuit radio device and the audio device radio device 9 by radio. The signal is illustrated as a radio signal 10 between audio device drive circuits in the figure. The audio device is provided with a speaker 103.

A first embodiment of the present invention is depicted in FIG. This is the content described above as the best mode for carrying out the invention. More specifically, the radio between the devices may be manufactured at low cost by using a commercial short-range radio such as Bluetooth. The vibration body and the drive circuit each have low power consumption, thereby suppressing the heat generation of the cushion and making the wiring connected to the AC 100V outlet thin. If the power consumed by the drive circuit is small, the wiring can be made thin.

A second embodiment of the present invention is depicted in FIG. 1 is the same as FIG. 1 but does not include the AC 100V outlet provided in the first embodiment. This is an example in which driving by a battery is made possible by making the power saving of the vibrator 2 and the drive circuit 3 lower than that of the first embodiment. In Example 2, there is no cable outside.

A third embodiment of the present invention is depicted in FIG. The embodiment is similar to that of FIG. 1, but is characterized in that a wireless terminal box 11 is provided outside the cushion. The terminal box is provided with a terminal box radio device 12. The terminal box has a conversion function for matching the audio signals of various audio devices with the driving circuit 3 of the vibrator. Further, the terminal box itself is provided with an AC 100V outlet 101, and also has a function of supplying electric power to the drive circuit 3 from the terminal box by a radio signal. That is, the terminal box radio device 12 is used for supplying power from the terminal box to the drive circuit in addition to the exchange of signals. A power supply radio 13 and an audio signal radio 14 are shown.
