Abstract
Monitoring system electronic or computer. Device for monitoring an electronic or computer system with the aid of a fluid current, characterized in that it includes: means to apply the fluid current to at least one free segment and make said segment vibrate, at least one conversion device for converting the vibrations of the segment into an electric signal, means for processing the electric signal emitted by the conversion device, and interface means between the processing means and the electronic or computer system.
Claims15
A method to control an electronic or computer system, the method including:
- translating vibrations of at least one free segment, caused by a fluid current, to generate an electric signal utilizing at least one conversion device associated with the at least one free segment;
- processing the electric signal generated by the conversion device;
- and
- controlling an action of the system according to results of processing of the electric signal.
A device to convert an action of a fluid current on at least one free segment into an electric signal to control a computer system, the device including:
- means for converting vibrations of the at least one free segment, caused by the action of the fluid current, into an electric signal.
A device to control an electronic or computer system with the aid of a fluid current, the device including:
- means to apply the fluid current to a free segment and make the free segment vibrate;
- at least one conversion means for converting vibrations of the free segment into an electric signal;
- means for processing the electric signal generated by the conversion device;
- and
- interface means between the processing means and the electronic system.
A device to monitor breath to control movement of a cursor along two directions on a computer screen, the device including:
- for each movement direction, a conduit in which first and second segments are placed, each of the first and second segments being associated with a respective conversion device, the first segment being able to be stressed on vibration by an expiration flow of the breath and the second segment being able to be stressed on vibration by an inspiration flow of the breath, and
- a processor to process signals generated by the conversion devices so that, for each movement direction, the inspiration flow corresponds to a direction of movement of the cursor and the expiration flow corresponds to a direction of movement opposite the one corresponding to the inspiration flow, and so that the intensity of any one of the inspiration and expiration flows corresponds, at least in part, to a movement speed of the cursor.
