Abstract
A computer-implemented method for audio to tactile enhancement comprising obtaining audio data comprising a sample of speech, generating at least one haptic cue definition by performing a first signal processing operation on at least one portion of the audio data, and actuating a haptic actuator comprised in a user device or a writing instrument according to the at least one haptic cue definition. Examples concern obtaining a pulse signal representing a pulse of a user of the user device or the writing instrument, wherein the pulse signal is obtained substantially simultaneously with obtaining the audio data and applying a second signal processing operation to the pulse signal, wherein the second signal processing operation calculates a heart rate variability signal of the user.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for audio to tactile enhancement comprising:
- obtaining audio data comprising a sample of speech;
- generating at least one haptic cue definition by performing a first signal processing operation on at least one portion of the audio data;
- and
- actuating a haptic actuator comprised in a user device or a writing instrument according to the at least one haptic cue definition.
A writing instrument for audio to tactile enhancement, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a haptic actuator,
- wherein the processor is configured to obtain audio data comprising a sample of speech, to generate at least one haptic cue definition by performing a first signal processing operation on at least one portion of audio data, and to actuate the haptic actuator according to the at least one haptic cue definition.
A system, comprising:
- a writing instrument, and
- a user device comprising a pulse sensor and a wireless communication interface,
- wherein the user device is configured to measure a pulse signal of a user of the user device using the pulse sensor, and to compute a heart rate variability signal of the user based on the pulse signal, and wherein the user device is configured to transmit the heart rate variability signal of the user to the writing instrument via the wireless communication interface of the user device.
