In the drawings, thicknesses may be exaggerated for clarity of presentation of layers and regions.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a view for explaining an upper surface of a first layer member of a tactile stimulus providing apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention; FIG.

Referring to Fig. 1, the tactile stimulus providing apparatus 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention includes a first layer member BP1, a main band MB1, and a subband SB1.

The wearer is a portion to be worn on the first body part of the user who wants to provide tactile stimulation. The wearing portion of the present embodiment may have a three-layer structure. In FIG. 1, the first layer member BP1 will be described first.

The first layer member BP1 may be made of a flexible material such as cloth, rubber, or plastic. The shape and size of the first layer member BP1 may be determined suitably for the first body part of the user. The first layer member BP1, while supporting the actuators, is used to bring these actuators into close contact with the first body part of the user. In the first embodiment, the first body part may be the user's foot.

The actuators may be disposed between the first layer member BP1, i.e., the first side SE11 of the wear portion and the second side SE12 opposite the first side SE11. The actuators are obscured by the top cases tc1, so they are not shown in Fig. The top cases tc1 are in close contact with the upper surface of the first layer member BP1 and are engaged with the corresponding bottom cases to fix corresponding actuators.

The first main band MB1 may be made of a stretchable material such as cloth, rubber, plastic or the like. One end of the first main band MB1 is located near the first side SE11 of the wearing portion and the other end is fastening near the second side SE12 of the wearing portion. The engagement of the other end of the first main band MB1 will be described later with reference to Fig. When the first main band MB1 is fastened, the first main band MB1 and the actuators can be ring-shaped and brought into close contact with the first body part of the user.

The sub-band SB1 may be made of a stretchable material such as cloth, rubber, or plastic. One end of the sub band SB1 is located near the third side SE13 of the wearing portion and the other end is fastening near the third side SE13 of the wearing portion. Clamping of the other end of the sub band SB1 will be described later with reference to Fig. When the sub-band SB1 is engaged, the sub-band SB1 itself can be ring-shaped and can be brought into close contact with the second body part of the user. The first body part and the second body part may be adjacent body parts connected through a joint. As described above, if the first body part is the user's foot, the second body part may correspond to the user's ankle. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the sub-band SB1 may be fixed at the second body part so that the ring-shaped wear part surrounding the first body part does not rotate in an undesirable direction (i.e., does not slip).

The second B-type removable member Vb12 may be positioned on the upper surface of the other end of the first main band MB1.

Hereinafter, an A-type detachment member and a B-type detachment member will be described. The attaching / detaching members are detachable from each other when they are of different types. The attachment / detachment members can not be detachably attached to each other when they are of the same type. The attachment / detachment member can be configured in various ways such as bolt / nut, button / button hole, female / male buckle, and the like. Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the attaching / detaching member is a Velcro material.

Also, according to the above description, the terms "near the first side SE11", "near the second side SE12", and "near the third side SE13" are used. This is an expression used when the band is connected to the wearer, it is not necessarily sewn to the edge of the wearer but can be sewn to an area in the vicinity of the edge and can be detached and attached to an arbitrary area. The range of "near" may mean up to an area where the effect according to the structure of the present embodiment can appear in a similar manner. For example, when one end of the first main band MB1 is excessively deviated from the vicinity of the first side SE11 and is connected between arbitrary actuator cases tc1, the other end of the first main band MB1 is connected to the second side (SE12), an actuator case which is excluded from the formed ring shape is generated. Such an actuator case can not be brought into close contact with the first body part of the user, so that the tactile stimulus can not be transmitted properly. Therefore, in this case, it can not be considered that one end of the first main band MB1 is connected to the vicinity of the first side SE11.

2 is a view for explaining a bottom surface of the first layer member of the tactile-sense pole providing apparatus of the first embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, the bottom case bc1 is disposed in close contact with the bottom surface of the first layer member BP1. As described above, the bottom cases bc1 are engaged with the corresponding top cases tc1 to fix the actuators. The relationship between the actuator and the actuator case will be described later in more detail with reference to Figs. 3 and 4.

A third A-type attachable / detachable member Va13 may be positioned on the lower surface of the other end of the first main band MB1.

The first A-type attachable member Va11 may be positioned on the lower surface of the other end of the subband SB1.

3 and 4 are views for explaining an actuator assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention at different points in time.

3 and 4, an actuator assembly AA1 according to an embodiment includes an actuator ac1, a top case tc1, a cover case mc1, and a bottom case bc1.

The actuator ac1 may include a driving unit mb1 and an eccentric mass em1. The driving unit mb1 and the eccentric mass body em1 may be rotatably connected through a shaft. For example, the actuator ac1 may be an ERM motor. The actuator ac1 can generate vibration while the eccentric mass body em1 rotated by the driving unit mb1 functions as an unbalanced oscillator. For example, the actuator ac1 may be a cylindrical vibration motor having a cylindrical diameter of about 6 mm and an overall height of about 17 mm. In the coin type motor, the vibrator rotates horizontally to produce a vibration in the horizontal direction, but the actuator ac1 of this embodiment can generate vibration in the vertical direction.

The top case tc1 includes a receiving portion tha1 for receiving the driving portion mb1 and a receiving portion thb1 for receiving the eccentric mass em1. That is, the top case tc1 can accommodate all or a part of the actuator ac1 except the wiring. According to the embodiment, if the top case tc1 accommodates only a part of the actuator ac1, the remaining part of the actuator ac1 can be accommodated by the cover case mc1.

The cover case mc1 is coupled to the top case tc1 so as to bring the driving unit mb1 into close contact with the receiving unit mha1. The cover case mc1 can be engaged with the top case tc1 while covering the actuator ac1. The cover case mc1 can be firmly fixed to the top case tc1 while the male coupling portion mm1 of the cover case mc1 is fitted to the arm body coupling portion tsf1 of the top case tc1. In particular, the receiving portion tha1 and the receiving portion mha1 may be formed such that the driving portion mb1 of the actuator ac1 is firmly fixed. The water tightening portion mm1 of the cover case mc1 can protrude so that the cover case mc1 is parallel to the surface abutting against the first layer member BP1. In this embodiment, the number of the male fastening portion mm1 and the female body fastening portion tsf1 are four pairs, but the number may vary according to the embodiment.

The cover case mc1 is engaged with the top case tc1 to isolate the eccentric mass element em1 from the upper surface of the first layer member BP1 while allowing the free rotation space of the eccentric mass element em1 together with the accommodating portion mhb1 . That is, the accommodating portion mhb1 of the cover case mc1 is matched with the accommodating portion thb1, thereby forming a free rotation space that does not interfere with the rotation of the eccentric mass body em1. The accommodating portion mhb1 of the cover case mc1 also serves to isolate the eccentric mass body em1 from the upper surface of the first layer member BP1. Therefore, even when the first layer member BP1 is made of a flexible cloth or rubber material, the eccentric mass body em1 can be reliably rotated without fear of hitting the first layer member BP1.

The bottom case bc1 is located on the bottom surface of the first layer member BP1 and fixes the top case tc1 to the top surface of the first layer member BP1.

The water tightening portion bm1 of the bottom case bc1 is coupled to the arm body tf1 of the top case through the first layer member BP1 so that the actuator ac1 and its cases bc1, mc1, tc1 And can be fixed to the first layer member BP1. At this time, the first layer member BP1 may include an opening having a shape through which the male fastening portion bm1 can pass.

The top case tc1 may include the projection tm1 and the bottom case bc1 may include the depression bf1. The actuator ac1 and its cases bc1, mc1 and tc1 are fitted into the depression bf1 by pressing the first layer member BP1 against the first layer member BP1, (BP1).

5 is a view for explaining the top surface of the second layer member of the tactile prompting device of the first embodiment.

Referring to Fig. 5, a second layer member MP1 is shown on which a first layer member BP1 and at least a part of an edge are joined on a first layer member BP1. The first layer member BP1 is covered by the second layer member MP1 and is not shown in Fig.

The second layer member MP1 may be made of a flexible material such as cloth, rubber, or plastic. The shape and size of the second layer member MP1 may correspond to the shape and size of the first layer member BP1.

The second layer member MP1 functions to cover the top cases tc1 and the wirings extending therefrom from the user's line of sight. The second layer member MP1 includes a first wiring opening portion WH11, through which wiring lines can be gathered and neatly taken out. The second layer member MP1 may further include a zipper member ZP1 as a passage for servicing the actuators and the wirings.

The first B-type removable member Vb11 may be disposed on the upper surface of the second layered member MP1. The size and shape of the first B type removable member Vb11 may correspond to the size and shape of the second layer member MP1. In another embodiment, the first B-type removable member Vb11 may be formed to have a minimum area only in the vicinity of the second side SE12 and in the vicinity of the third side SE13.

6 is a view for explaining the top surface of the third layer member of the tactile prompting device of the first embodiment.

Referring to Fig. 6, on the second layer member MP1, a third layer member TP1 whose one end is connected to the second layer member MP1 is shown.

The third layer member TP1 may be made of a flexible material such as cloth, rubber, or plastic. The third layer member TP1 may be different from the first layer member BP1 in shape and size, unlike the second layer member MP1.

The third layer member TP1 may include a second wiring opening portion WH12. The third layer member TP1 may be configured to draw out the wirings taken out from the first wiring opening portion WH11 from the user's view and again to the second wiring opening portion WH12.

7 is a view for explaining a controller case of the tactile-sense-pole providing apparatus of the first embodiment.

Referring to Fig. 7, a controller case CC1 fitted to the third layer member TP1 is shown. 8, the width of the third layer member TP1 is narrower than the width of the lower end opening of the controller case CC1 so that the controller case CC1 is fitted in the third layer member TP1 in the longitudinal direction Can be adjusted.

The controller case CC1 may further include a bolt insertion opening VH1 at the upper end thereof, according to the embodiment.

8 is a view for explaining the bottom surface of the third layer member of the tactile prompting device of the first embodiment.

Referring to Fig. 8, it is shown that the wiring W1 passes through the first wiring opening portion WH11 and the second wiring opening portion WH12 and faces the controller case CC1. Although not shown, the controller case CC1 may further include a third wiring opening on its bottom surface. Accordingly, the controller in the actuators ac1 and the controller case CC1 can be electrically connected through the first wiring opening portion WH11, the second wiring opening portion WH12, and the third wiring opening portion.

A controller is located inside the controller case cc1 and can generate a driving signal corresponding to the actuators ac1. The controller may be configured to include a microcontroller, a motor driver, and a power management module. In the controller case (cc1), a separate battery for driving the controller may be located. The controller may be configured in the form of a PCB, an FPCB, or an IC. The controller can also receive tactile stimulation patterns through existing wireless communication technologies such as bluetooth, WiFi, or through wired communication technology. The tactile stimulation pattern may be a multi-directional tactile stimulation pattern. A separate memory element may be located inside the controller case cc1.

The wiring W1 can transmit the driving signal from the controller to the actuators ac1. The wiring W1 may be made of a material such as FPCB or wire.

Referring to FIG. 8, a second A-type attachable / detachable member Va12 may be disposed on the lower surface of the third layer member TP1 near the other end.

9 to 12 are views for explaining the wearing process of the tactile stimulus providing apparatus of the first embodiment.

9, the user can attach the third A type detachable member Va13 of the first main band MB1 to the first B type detachable member Vb11 on the upper surface of the second layered member MP1 have. Thus, the first main band MB1 and the actuators ac1 can be ring-shaped.

At this time, the second B-type removable member Vb12 of the first main band MB1 is exposed in the top surface direction together with the first B-type removable member Vb11 of the second layer member MP1.

9 and 10, the user appropriately attaches the second A type detachable member Va12 of the third layer member TP1 to the first B type detachment member Vb11 or the second B type detachment member Vb12 can do. For example, the second A type detachable member Va12 may be attached simultaneously with the first B type detachable member Vb11 and the second B type detachable member Vb12. Thereby, the controller case CC1 of the hard material can be fixed to the wearer regardless of the size of the user's first body part.

Referring to Fig. 11, a ring-shaped wearing portion formed through the process of Figs. 9 and 10 is fitted to a first body part (here, a foot) of the user. At this time, the angle of the bottom surface of the first layer member (BP1) where the bottom cases (bc1) are located can be adjusted so as to be in close contact with the first body part of the user.

12, the user rotates the second body part (here, an ankle) so that the sub band SB1 itself forms a ring shape, and the first A type removable member Va11 to the third side SE13 Type attachment / detachment member Vb11 in the vicinity of the first B-type removable member Vb11. Accordingly, the sub-band SB1 can be fixed to the second body part so that the ring-shaped wearing part surrounding the first body part does not rotate in the undesirable direction (does not slip).

FIGS. 13 and 14 are views for explaining a modification of the tactile stimulus providing apparatus of the first embodiment. In Figs. 13 and 14, similar reference numerals have been given to configurations similar to Figs. 7 and 8. Hereinafter, the difference between the tactile stimulation providing device 1 'and the tactile stimulation providing device 1 will be mainly described for convenience of explanation.

When Fig. 13 is compared with Fig. 7, the tactile stimulus providing apparatus 1 'further includes the third B type removable member Vb13'. The third B type detachable member Vb13 'may be located on the upper surface of the third layer member TP1' in the vicinity of the other end.

Thus, the wearer can wear the tactile stimulus providing apparatus 1 'in a different manner from those of FIGS. 9 to 11. In FIGS. 9 to 11, the user first makes the first main band MB1, the wearing portion, and the third layer member TP1 ring-shaped, and by fitting the ring shape to the first body portion, 1) was worn on the first body part.

However, according to the structure of Fig. 13, the user can fix the controller case CC1 'to the wearer portion first by attaching the second A type detachable member Va12' to the first B type detachable member Vb11 '. When Fig. 14 is compared with Fig. 8, the shape and area of the second A type detachable member Va12 'are extended to correspond to the shape and area of the third layer member TP1'. According to this embodiment, since the attachment force between the second A type detachable member Va12 'and the first B type detachable member Vb11' increases, the motion tracker is coupled to the top of the controller case CC1 ' It is possible to prevent the second A type detachable member Va12 'from being easily detached.

Next, the user attaches the third A type detachable member to the third B type detachable member Vb13 'by winding the first main body MB1' around the first body part while supporting the wear part to the first body part The first main band MB1 'and the actuators can be formed into a ring shape. According to the present embodiment, there is an advantage that the first main band MB1 'and the actuators can be closely contacted to exactly match the size of the user's first body part.

Referring to FIGS. 13 and 14, the connecting portion CM1 'of the second layer member MP1' and the subband SB1 'is changed as compared with FIGS. In FIGS. 7 and 8, the connecting portion CM1 between the second layer member MP1 and the subband SB1 is eccentric to fit the desired body part of the right foot and the left foot. However, in the embodiment shown in Figs. 13 and 14, the connection part between the second layer member MP1 'and the sub-band SB1' may be formed so as not to be inconvenient when the tactile stimulation providing apparatus 1 ' (CM1 ') is positioned at the center of the wearing portion.

13 and 14, the extending direction of the subband SB1 'may be parallel to the first main band MB1'. In addition, the connection portion CM1 'can be formed long enough to cover the joints between the first body portion and the second body portion (so that it can be raised to the bottom of the calf). Thus, even if the tactile stimulation providing device 1 'is worn on any of the right and left foot parts, there is an advantage that the angle or position of the ring shape itself formed by the sub band SB1' does not inconvenience to the user.

15 and 16 are views for explaining a structure in which a motion tracker is coupled to a controller case.

15 and 16, the bolt V1 protrudes in the vertical direction through the bolt insertion opening VH1 of the controller case CC1. The angle adjusting nut N1 and the motion tracker MT1 may be sequentially fitted to the bolt V1.

The motion tracker MT1 may be a device that receives an infrared signal emitted from an external base station and can confirm the position of the motion tracker MT1 in three-dimensional space. In another embodiment, the motion tracker MT1 may be designed in such a manner that an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, or the like is incorporated therein to calculate an amount of change based on a specific absolute value set at the beginning. The user can use his / her motion as an input means by moving the motion tracker MT1.

First, the user can position the motion tracker MT1 at a desired height and angle by rotating it in the direction of the angle adjusting nut N1 (downward) after fitting the motion tracker MT1 to the bolt V1. Next, the user can rotate the angle adjusting nut N1 in the direction of the motion tracker MT1 (upwards) to fix the motion tracker MT1 to the bolt V1. The user can rotate or rotate the angle adjusting nut N1 by holding or pushing the rotation supporting rods WW1 and WW2 of the angle adjusting nut N1 with fingers.

17 is a view for explaining a structure in which a motion tracker is coupled to a controller case differently.

17, in combination of the motion tracker MT1 and the tactile stimulus providing apparatus 1, a washer assembly WS1 is used instead of the angle adjusting nut N1.

The washer assembly WS1 may include at least one metal washer MW1, MW2 positioned between the rubber washers RW1, RW2, RW3 and the rubber washers RW1, RW2, RW3. 17, the rubber washer RW1, the metal washer MW1, the rubber washer RW2, the metal washer MW2, and the rubber washer RW3 are sequentially laminated to constitute the washer assembly WS1. However, The number of each constitution can be different.
