The use of discrete component circuits, ASICs or microcontrollers with A / D and PWM functions can achieve the conversion of signals into PWM. The power n-bridge power amplifier will amplify the PWM pulse and then input it to the resonant circuit 352, The output of the resonance circuit 352 will drive the piezoelectric ceramic crystals 314α and 314B. The motion generated in the crystal causes the surface of the crystal to perform clockwise or counterclockwise circular motion, and the rods 310 are moved forward or backward in turn, causing the movable mechanism 206 to X-axis motion and vibration output. Alternatively, a piezoelectric ceramic actuator can create a circular movement or vibration output when driving a circular plate or disc. This configuration can use an opposing piezoelectric ceramic motor or a motor and use linear Or rotating devices (such as linear or rotary ball bearings) to reduce friction to achieve.

Description of the invention (24 The vibration command of the motion sensor will be output to the vibration output device 16. 2. For example, the vibration command specifies the period, amplitude, and frequency to be transmitted to the vibration output device 1602. Please note that the vibration sensation also includes friction. This vibration command vibration data processor 1622 accesses the vibration database 1624 and obtains The vibration data corresponding to the vibration command. The vibration data contains all the necessary information required by the actuator 1610 to drive the movable mechanism 1612 to execute the vibration command. For example, when using When the user moves the pointer from the non-action part of the display screen to the currently active window, it is regarded as part of the operation in the vibration data system 1604 (or other computers connected to the vibration data system 1604 through the network connection 1626). The application software of the system will generate an "active window", a vibration command to move the movable part at a frequency of 3 Hz and an amplitude of 2.5 mm from the current position for 1 second. This vibration prompt is used to warn the user of the position of the pointer. The vibration data processor 1622 interprets the vibration command, and the vibration data used to generate this vibration sensation in the vibration output device 1602 is taken from the vibration database 1624 'and transmitted to the vibration output device 1602. In another example, when The vibration output device 1602 outputs this vibration prompt, indicating that the email received by the vibration data system 1604 to the user via the network connection 1626 has received the 'vibration data processor 1022 will map this prompt to' email arrival 11 vibration instructions In this example, the "email arrival" vibration command is a short pulse of 3 Hz and 2 seconds with a vibration of 1 Hz and an amplitude of 1 mm. The dynamic data processor 1622 obtains the vibration data of the vibration profile from the vibration database 1624, and the vibration data processor 1622 combines the "email arrival" vibration feeling and "active window" vibration feeling vibration data and sends it to Vibration wheel output device 1602.

Description of Invention (25) Send these prompts one after another, instead of grouping them together, so the user can tell the difference between hiding one. Still other examples, the present invention has a specific embodiment in which the vibration output device 1602 is a mouse 'trackball or other pointing device. In this specific embodiment, when a user selects an object connected to the vibration data system 1604 on a display screen (not shown), the resistance is output to the pointing device and is proportional to the memory occupied by the selected object. For example, if the user selects a folder on the display screen and drags it to another position on the display screen, the resistance will be output to the mouse, trackball, or other indicator device that provides resistance to the user's movement. The resistance and the folder Content occupies a proportion of memory capacity. In other examples, when the user places the pointing device on the folder or file displayed on the display screen, the characteristic vibration sensation will be output to the pointing device, indicating the user's information about the folder or file. In a specific embodiment, the Wenzi processing building case will generate a vibration sensation of 1 mm amplitude during a period of 2 Hz and 0.5 seconds on a movable mechanism connected to the pointing device, and 5 Hz X seconds when connected to a commercial website. .5 mm amplitude vibration feel. The standard of vibration feeling " language " can be developed to indicate or warn the user to determine the occurrence of data or events. Other vibration output devices used in the embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, a vibration plate and a fan for vibration. The output is changed to air that the user can feel, or a device used to generate an odor. In this embodiment, the vibration data signal is an odor. The vibration signal is output to a sprayer, and the sprayer sprays a specific mixed odor from a set of basic odors, and then the odor is activated by other ionizers, Smell-neutralizer, air cleaner • 28- This paper size is applicable to the national standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) of the paper (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)-Packing iUl 45 58〇3 A7 B7 V.

Please note that the artificial olfactory device can be used to input odor data into the vibration data system 1600, so that the odor detected in one place can be sensed, stored and transmitted to other locations for output to the user, just as the vibration data system can receive data from other The vibration sense input of the place is stored and output to a vibration output device at another place. FIG. 17 still illustrates another specific embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the vehicle tick-made vibration output system 1700 includes a vibration output device 1702 fixed to a steering wheel, and the vibration output device 1702 passes through a wire (not shown). 7F) is connected to a processor (not shown) and a memory (not shown), and the vibration output device 1702 includes a trackball 1706. 1 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs This specific embodiment of the present invention allows a user to use trackball 7706 to control many systems of a car. During operation, the user uses his thumb to roll the trackball horizontally to select the system he wants to control.畲 When the trackball rolls and the user has scrolled through different systems, the processor will output the characteristics of the vibration output profile of each system to the trackball. For example, when the radio is selected, the actuator in the vibration output device 1702 will transmit The vibration data signal causes the actuator to vibrate at the first frequency, and then when the user continues to move the trackball and select another system, the vibration output device 1702 will vibrate at the second frequency.畲 The user feels the characteristics of the vibration profile of the expected function, and the user rolls the trackball in the vertical direction to operate the system. For example: when selecting the radio system, the user rolls the trackball in the vertical direction to adjust the radio channel. When the radio station is selected, the processor will generate friction in the vertical direction of the trackball. Here, the friction is related to the receiving strength of the radio station. When the user turns to -29- Public 7 9 2 X ο ^ /% 45 580 3 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (27) The closer the radio is, the stronger the friction is, and then when the user turns away from the radio, the friction is weaker. Then the user can move the trackball horizontally to select the next system-windshield wiper. At this time, the user moves the trackball horizontally. When the speed of the selected windshield wiper increases, the resistance increases. In other embodiments of the present invention, the vibration output device is integrated into the driver's seat of a car. Many places around the car are equipped with motion sensors and short-range radar, ultrasound, or other detectors, and the output from these detectors is input to the processor. When an object approaching the vehicle is detected, for example, in the visual dead corner of the driver, a characteristic vibration signal will be output to the vibration output device in the driver's seat to warn the driver that there are objects in the visual dead corner. Other detectors and systems include a collision avoidance system integrated into the Automotive Controlled Vibration System 1700.
