APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR HAPTIC COVERT COMMUNICATION

摘要

Embodiments described herein relate generally to providing information through tactility. A computer system may receive an input from a user. The computer system may identify one or more locations associated with haptic elements disposed on a wearable haptic apparatus. The computer system may generate a message that includes an indication of the one or more locations. The computer system may transmit this message to the wearable haptic apparatus. The wearable haptic apparatus may actuate one or more haptic elements disposed thereon based on the indication of the one or more locations included in the message. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

主权项

1. A wearable apparatus equipped to provide information through tactility, the apparatus comprising:
a wearable apparatus body; a plurality of haptic elements disposed on the wearable apparatus body; receiver circuitry disposed on the wearable apparatus body to wirelessly receive a message; and control circuitry, coupled with the receiver circuitry and the plurality of haptic elements, and disposed on the wearable apparatus body, to actuate at least one of the haptic elements based on the received message.
