Multimedia Tactile Feedback Control via Environmental Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current multimedia experiences are limited to visual and auditory dimensions, lacking tactile feedback, which restricts users' engagement to only two dimensions when consuming multimedia information.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method that integrates tactile feedback by obtaining multimedia and environmental information, determining tactile feedback parameters such as vibration frequency, intensity, and temperature, and outputting these feedbacks synchronously with multimedia content, enhancing the experience to three or more dimensions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If only visual and auditory information are provided, then the system complexity remains low, but the user experience dimension is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines visual, auditory, and tactile information channels into a unified multimedia output system. The terminal device integrates display module, audio output module, and vibration feedback module to provide multi-dimensional sensory experience simultaneously, resolving the contradiction by merging multiple information delivery pathways into a coordinated system.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device is designed with multi-functional capabilities to provide visual display, audio output, and tactile vibration feedback through a single integrated platform. This universal design allows one device to fulfill multiple sensory functions, improving experience dimension without requiring separate specialized devices for each sense.
2Adaptability or versatility
If tactile feedback is added to multimedia output, then user immersion is enhanced, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The vibration feedback is applied periodically or intermittently rather than continuously, synchronized with specific events or moments in the multimedia content. This periodic activation provides tactile enhancement only when needed for user immersion, while allowing the system to conserve energy during periods when vibration is not required.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts vibration parameters such as frequency, intensity, and duration based on the multimedia content being delivered. By changing these parameters adaptively rather than maintaining constant high-level vibration, the system achieves effective user immersion while optimizing energy consumption according to actual needs.
