Abstract
The present invention discloses a device and method for use in tactile communications adaptable for use by anyone able to recognize messages written in a language known to them. The present invention uses a series of sequentially firing vibromechanical stimulators (46) vibrating against the skin or other suitably tactile sensitive area of the wearer. The vibromechanical stimulators (46) are arranged in a substantially two dimensional array (34) over the skin and are then triggered individually and in sequence, following a set of patterns representative of the symbols in the language recognizable to the wearer to tactually convey the message. The wearer cognitively perceives the tactual stimulation as a line or lines drawn on the skin or suitably tactile sensitive area that resemble the symbols used to communicate between the message sender and the wearer.
Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS
[ received by the International Bureau on 9 May 1997 (09.05.1997); new claims 20-27 added; remaining claims unchanged (2 pages) ] so that the wearer cognitively perceives a sequence of symbols representative of the received communications data stream and tactually conveyed to the wearer by vibromechanically stimulating the wearer's skin.
20. A tactile stimulating device suitable for use adjacent a suitably sensate surface of a human, the device comprising: a tactile stimulator array including a plurality of vibromechanical stimulators
positionable proximate the suitably sensate surface, the vibromechanical
stimulators having a tactile effector suitable for impinging the suitably sensate surface; and means for independently and sequentially controlling each vibromechanical
stimulator one at a time so as to only trigger one vibromechanical stimulator at
a time, sequentially following a pattern sequence of triggering one and then a
next vibromechanical stimulator in the pattern, tactually stimulating the
suitably sensate surface ofthe human.
21. The device of claim 20 further comprising means for suitably attaching
the array to an appendage ofthe human.
22. The device of claim 20 further comprising means for suitably attaching the array to a surface suitable for grasping by the human.
23. The device of claim 20 in which the suitably sensate surface includes a
suitably tactile sensitive mucus membrane ofthe human.
24. The device of claim 20 in which the plurality of vibromechanical
stimulators comprises a plurality of electromechanical solenoids.
25. The device of claim 20 in which the plurality of vibromechanical stimulators comprises a plurality of rods of piezoelectric material.
26. The device of claim 20 in which the plurality of vibromechanical stimulators comprises a plurality of rods of bimorphic ceramic material.
27. The device of claim 20 in which the plurality of vibromechanical stimulators comprises at least 18 vibromechanical stimulators.
