A TACTILE SENSATION GENERATOR

摘要

A control system (100) that is responsive to an audio signal (104) generated by audio source such as a computer (102), video game console (102), stereo system and the like. The control system (100) converts the audio signal (104) into a control signal for a vibrating seat pad (110), and the like. The control system contains an audio signal processor (112) and a control signal generator (114). The audio signal processor (112) produces a processed change of the audio signal. From the processed signal a control signal (108) is generated. The control signal causes the tactile sensation generator to produce tactile sensation corresponding to the present scene being displayed, for example, on a monitor of a computer executing a computer game.
