Definitions

  • the invention refers to a communication method, that is transmission and reception of information, between user and data processing and transferring device or between users, which is characterised by the use of the sense of touch only, in as much as the transmission and reception of information are concerned, and more specifically, for the transmission of information a particular device is utilised, which bears protruded guides, which guide the user's finger or another object in order to trace the alphanumeric characters or symbols to be transmitted, whilst for the reception of information a particular device is utilised, which is placed in contact with the user's skin and irritates the skin linearly, or at points or at surfaces, forming, thus, on the skin the alphanumeric characters or symbols to be transmitted.
  • the user For the reception of messages, the user, in most cases, makes use of the vision and hearing senses.
  • the user in order to conceive the information transmitted to him/her, needs to receive it on a display or elsewhere, or to hear it (e.g. from a receiver in case of a telephone).
  • the sense of touch is used.
  • a feature and disadvantage of this latter method of receiving information is the fact that the user has to actively participate in the reception procedure. That is, the user has to pass his/her fingers over the embossed text in order to "edit" the information and data.
  • a necessary preparation is, of course, required prior to providing the user with information in legible form.
  • the third system is an experimental arrangement, where the user, through special optical devices, views the characters he/she desires to write on the screen and the characters are automatically written and identified by the data processing unit. This device identifies the direction that the user's head and eyes move to and therefore the character aimed at.
  • the communication device used almost always, accompanies the respective system.
  • the user is always required to communicate through a specific unit corresponding to the particular system, that is, the keyboard, the mouse, the lightpen etc., which are continuously connected with a data processing system and they consist an integral part thereof.
  • the present invention aims at eliminating the abovementioned disadvantages providing a method of registration and transmission of characters or symbols and a method of reception of characters or symbols based on the sense of touch and, particularly, for the reception of information in the form of skin irritation linearly, at points or at surfaces, by means of skin pressure or heat, either positive or negative.
  • a device bearing a surface with protruded guides, that direct the finger or other objects is utilised.
  • These guides (in a first embodiment they are identations and in a second embodiment they are protrusions) form a simple arrangement as in Figure (1) .
  • the shape of the fingers allows the complete or partial formation of characters or symbols, which the user requires to transmit, by means of finger tracing. An example of such a character formation is shown in Figure (2).
  • On top of the guides there are sensors that mark and transmit the finger's passage over them, so that finally the activation sequence of the sensors marks and transmits the charactered traced by the finger of the user.
  • the device bears a memory unit for the temporary storage of the text, a special slot for the transmission of data which are registered in either directly or from the memory unit, and the special protection against mechanical, thermal or chemical wear.
  • the existence of guides for directing the finger or any other objects used guarantees the correct imprinting of characters since it does not allow the user to write UNCONSCIOUSLY and diminishes the possibility of the user's personal handwriting interference.
  • the inner parts of the grooves may be elastic, in one embodiment, or in a second embodiment the supporting base of the device may not be completely solid, so that the inner parts of the grooves or the device itself "follow", by guiding the finger or any other object of the user in short motions.
  • the use of the said device for the transmission of information does not require user's approach to the device he/she wants to communicate with, and which may be a device for reception of information by the sense of touch, a computer, facsimile, telex etc. It is possible to temporarily store the information in the memory unit, where the transfer to the subject device takes place from.
  • the device since the device does not require movement of its parts i.e. pressure on a keyboard or activation of a receiver or anything else, it is perfectly protected against mechanical. thermal or chemical wear. For this reason, it may be applied in any environment e.g. with noises, vibrations, humidity etc.
  • the said method may be standardised for the transmission of information to any device, so that the user who owns the subject transmission device may communicate with a variety of systems of the same group.
  • a device for the reception of information, one uses a device that consists of a board with internal grooves, where sliding guides that cause skin irritation lineraly or at points or at surfaces, by pressure and heat in order to transmit characters or figures ( Figure 4a) . Examples of character formation by the sensation of pressure, are shown in Figure (5).
  • the board comes into contact with a certain part of the user's skin (i.e. arm, thigh, inner palm etc.)
  • dots are arranged in a certain form (e.g. Figure 4b) , that become activated following a particular sequence and causing irritation at points of the skin, by means of pressure or heat, transmitting thus characters or symbols by the sense of touch, in proportion to the dot matrix printers technique.
  • the method and device may be used for the reception of signals that cannot be expressed by specific characters
  • the reception of messages is achieved in any position or movement of the body and under any environmental conditions, whatsoever, i.e. noise, vibration, swimming, insufficient lighting etc.
  • the device may be used by divers for the underwater communication between them or with the surface, by car or motorcycle drivers for the message reception, by battle units, by parachuters etc.
  • the information transmission device is used for word processing of texts that are later transmitted in a word processing unit or a conventional electronic typewriter.
  • the transmission device is combined with a word processing system which has a thesaurus and a spell-checker facility.
  • the thesaurus vocally and the software concerning the spelling check are installed in the transmission device.
  • the particulars are inserted as data in the microprocessor unit which is supplemented by a database.
  • the microprocessor identifies in the database the number to be called which is automatically dialed.
  • the user for the purpose of registration in the database, the user traces various particulars of the subscribers and registers them in the database, connecting them to the number to be called.
  • he/she possesses a personal list, from which the registered subscriber may be called by the name, address or other particulars.
  • the conventional devices bearing a memory unit simply substitute the telephone number of a subscriber by another number (easier to be memorised) .
  • the great advantage of this application is that it is much easier for someone to remember names and characters than sequences of numbers.
  • the data transmission unit and method are used as a stenography unit for special reasons and under special circumstances, such as for press coverage of events, court sessions, night operation, driving, registration in secrecy with the device in the pocket, in case of lack of lighting and in spaces where noises are forbidden, when discretion is necessary, when no paper or pencil are available, when other persons in the area should not be disturbed etc.
  • the device for reception of information is combined with a device of optical or wave-form area detection (e.g. video receiving device - video camera - microwave radar - supersonic beam - infrared radiation beam etc. ) .
  • the space detection device is connected with the information reception device, in such a way that the image of the environment is "converted" into skin irritations (through the pins).
  • the image of the surrounding area is transformed by known image processing techniques into a filtered black and white "image” or (0 - 1, ON-OFF) etc. These techniques are considered to be known and therefore they are not described in the present application.
  • the "filtered” image is transformed, through the device using the sense of touch (touch-device), into sensations e.g. pressure for the ON area and non-pressure for the OFF area.
  • the activation of keys is simultaneous in order to have the "image" of the surrounding area impressed on the skin. It is understood that the resolution of the so formed image on the skin becomes higher as the number of the available keys increases ( Figure 8).
  • the said device applies on the guidance of blind people or people moving in areas with complete obscurity.
  • the area is detected through wave-form (e.g. using microwave radar).
  • the device informs about the kind of street, the height of possible obstacles, the distance of obstacles, the motion of obstacles (e.g. of vehicles to enable safe crossing of the road), speed and direction of obstacle motion etc.
  • the device simply informs the user about the movements or the manoeuvres he/she has to perform without advice on the image appearing ahead.
  • a blind person for example, during his/her movement on a road network is informed of the direction he/she should move towards, if he/she should stop or cross a road, the position standing at within the town etc.
  • the device is especially useful in enclosed areas such as apartments or house, where the obstacles are big (walls, furniture) or are easily traced on the touch-device.
  • the said device for the purpose of receiving messages, is combined with a receiver and the device of message transmission is combined with a transmitter. It is thus allowed to communicate from a distance, using the sense of touch, with blind people that cannot receive visually the information or move in an environment unfit for visual or acoustic message transmission.
  • the receiver of the information receiving device by the sense of touch, receives messages from an outdoor transmitter network (e.g. location transmitter for a vehicle navigation system) . In this way, the reception of a transmitter signal by the receiver of the touch-device signifies that the bearer of the device is located in the transmitter area.
  • the receiver - touch-device system for the reception of information is combined with a processing unit and a database allowing the routing and navigation of the person within a certain area e.g. a rural centre ( Figure 9).
  • the database includes the time duration that the traffic lights remain green or red (WALK - NO WALK).
  • WALK time duration that the traffic lights remain green or red
  • the use of this system by persons with special needs is extremely useful.
  • the said persons by using the device of information transmission are able to transmit a variety of messages which, combined with the installed network, facilitate their movement in the rural centres e.g. calling a taxi, distress S.O.S. signal, communication with other bearing the same device etc.
  • Another application of the touch-device for information receiving is the multiple information transmission to the user from different accesses.
  • the method provides for many touch-devices installed on various spots of the body, each one inserting data for a different parameter.
  • This application serves people which are obliged to consider a lot of parameters in order to perform a certain work (such as pilots of modern military aircrafts during restraining manoeuvres, operators of offshore drilling platforms) . In these cases, only the use of vision and hearing senses is not sufficient to transmit all the various information or information distinguished from each other (on the screen all data is of equal importance.
  • the touch-devices connect each parameter with a certain spot of the body. Thus, the distinction of data and parameters is more intense, e.g. from the arm originates the indication on speed, from the thigh originates the indication on artificial horizon bank etc. )
  • the devices and the method are used in any environment and under any circumstances. They are of great importance to drivers who possess a navigation system as they may register or transmit data when the vehicle is in motion. Thus the driver communicates with the in-vehicle computer (or the laptop) and requests, using the sense of touch, information about pharmacies, petrol stations, hospitals, police stations etc., without his/her attention on the road being distracted, even in case of limited lighting or acoustic (e.g. during the passage of vehicles with siren or trucks).
  • the present method and the data transmission device are used for the storage and protection of information against any kind of wear, a kind of black box, aiming at safety and protection of user's valuable data, since, being a portable device, it replaces the use of a portable tape-recorder or note book.
  • the transmission and reception devices constitute units of communication between the user and every data transmission system. Thus, it may be connected with and transmit information by facsimile, telex, modem etc. as well as to receive similar messages and transmit them to the user in an audio, visual or using the sense of touch way.
  • the device consists of a small rectangular board on one side of which there are grooves wherein the finger or any other article of the user moves.
  • the grooves are arranged as shown in Figure 1, which is formed by the superposition of a cross, an X and a square.
  • transition detectors At the meeting points of the grooves, there are transition detectors.
  • these are touch switches and in a second one they are photocells.
  • sensors that are activated when a solid or visually non- transparent body passes over them.
  • these sensors may be piezoelectric cells or, in a second embodiment, photovoltaic cells, or, in a third embodiment, proximeters.
  • Each one of those sensors is connected with a memory unit and a microprocessing unit of low standards and small dimensions, that accepts the signals of the sensors and identifies the characters written ( Figure 3). This is accomplished as follows:
  • Each sensor activates an encoder that inserts a code number to the microprocessor.
  • This code number corresponds to the subject sensor, so that each sensor may insert a certain code number in the microprocessing unit.
  • the microprocessor identifies the character written by the sequence of code numbers. A slight strike on the point where the character ends, signifies the end of character transmission. Two slight strikes at the end of the character signify the end of word transmission. Thereafter, the said character is directly transferred to the device which the user wants to communicate with, through a special plug or it is temporarily stored in the memory unit.
  • the activation of the sensors, through which the finger passes results to the transmission towards the device or to the storage in the memory unit of the formed character.
  • an acoustic signal relevant to the character or number written, is transmitted.
  • the same character is visually verified (e.g. by a small light or an LCD of one-character) and by the sense of touch through a receiver for safer verification.
  • a distinctive signal e.g. a horizontal line from the right to the left.
  • This device is in a first embodiment relevant to the touch- device for the transmission of messages (Figure 4a) with the exception that the grooves or the solid protrusions consist of elastic protrusions on the inner surface where a guide slides electromagnetically activated.
  • the sense of guide movement on the skin corresponds to the finger passage in the first touch-device.
  • the function of the first embodiment is the same with the one for the transmission of information from the user, but instead of the finger passage sensors there are guide transfer coils ( Figure 4a) .
  • This device comes into contact with certain points of the arm or the thigh or other spots of the user's body.
  • the board includes a strip and is placed like a simple watch around the wrist or may be fixed around the thigh transmitting messages through the clothes.
