Abstract
An information transmission device applied to an open moving machine driven by a driver who is exposed to an outside of the moving machine includes: a vibrator configured to vibrate a component of the moving machine, the driver in a driving posture being in contact with the component; and a controller communicably connected to an information providing device and configured to control the vibrator and a voice output device configured to output voice to the driver, the information providing device being configured to provide utterance information to the driver as information to be transmitted to the driver. The controller makes the vibrator operate when making the voice output device output the utterance information to the driver by the voice.
Claims16
An information transmission device applied to an open moving machine driven by a driver who is exposed to an outside of the moving machine,
- the information transmission device comprising:
- a vibrator configured to vibrate a component of the moving machine, the driver in a driving posture being in contact with the component;
- and
- a controller communicably connected to an information providing device and configured to control the vibrator and a voice output device configured to output voice to the driver, the information providing device being configured to provide utterance information to the driver as information to be transmitted to the driver, wherein
- the controller makes the vibrator operate when making the voice output device output the utterance information to the driver by the voice,
- the controller changes a vibration pattern of the vibrator in accordance with a category of the utterance information provided from the information providing device, and
- the controller changes the vibration pattern of the vibrator in accordance with whether the information to be transmitted to the driver is information indicating a state where the information transmission device is ready to receive utterance from the driver or information indicating a state where the information transmission device is about to output utterance to the driver.
An information transmission device applied to an open moving machine driven by a driver who is exposed to an outside of the moving machine,
- the information transmission device comprising:
- a vibrator configured to vibrate a component of the moving machine, the driver in a driving posture being in contact with the component;
- and
- a controller communicably connected to an information providing device and configured to control the vibrator and a voice output device configured to output voice to the driver, the information providing device being configured to provide utterance information to the driver as information to be transmitted to the driver, wherein
- the controller makes the vibrator operate in a state where processing of determining content of utterance from the voice output device to the driver is being performed.
An information transmission device applied to an open moving machine driven by a driver who is exposed to an outside of the moving machine,
- the information transmission device comprising:
- a vibrator configured to vibrate a component of the moving machine, the driver in a driving posture being in contact with the component;
- and
- a controller communicably connected to an information providing device and configured to control the vibrator and a voice output device configured to output voice to the driver, the information providing device being configured to provide utterance information to the driver as information to be transmitted to the driver, wherein
- the controller makes the vibrator operate at a state where preparation for the utterance from the voice output device to the driver has been completed and before making the voice output device output the utterance information to the driver by voice.
