Abstract
A device is provided for generating sounds and/or pictures together with additional and correlated fragrance release for a more complete stimulation of the senses of an audience. The device includes a stimulus generator control providing signals having a low rate of change and a digital control signal memory addressed by a control unit which activates the control signal memory during a read-out operation by an addressing counter and during a reading-in operation in dependence on incoming control signals from a received utility signal source, e.g., a radio or television broadcast.
Claims30
A device for generating sounds and/or pictures, comprising a utility signal source for audio and/or video signals and, connected thereto, an output unit for outputting sounds and/or pictures, comprising a control signal source and at least one stimulus generator controlled by said control signal source, wherein the stimulus generator control signals have a low rate of variation in comparison with the utility signals, wherein the control signal source includes:
- a control signal generator and, connected thereto, a control signal memory, and also a control unit by means of which the control signal memory can be activated for the purpose of reading control signals in or out;
- and wherein the control signal memory is a digital memory and its memory cells are addressed during the read-out operation by an addressing counter whose counting terminal (c) is connected to the output of a slow free-running clock, whereas the addressing of the control signal memory during the reading-in of the control signals is effected by the control unit in dependence upon the incoming control signals.
An appliance for generating sounds and/or images, comprising:
- a light generator and a light control unit associated therewith to provide a light control signal, said light control unit comprising a light signal envelope generator;
- a sound generator and a sound control unit associated therewith to provide a sound control signal;
- means for providing a phase coupling of the light control signal and the sound control signal generating an output signal to activate at least one controllable source of fragrance.
