Sensory control method for converting sensitivity parameter to physical parameter
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240036652A1) describes a sensory control method that involves receiving a sensitivity parameter, converting it into a physical parameter related to sensory presentation, and outputting a sensory presentation signal based on this converted parameter. The method includes using a conversion model to perform this conversion, which is obtained by storing correspondence information between sensory presentations and sensitivity parameters, extracting physical parameters correlated with sensitivity parameters, and generating the conversion model based on this information. The physical parameters include variables related to operation reaction force, displacement, curvature, and acceleration, among others, in response to operations performed on an operation tool.
Furthermore, the patent application details additional steps in the sensory control method, such as obtaining a sensory stimulation signal to specify a sensitivity parameter, presenting sensations based on the sensory presentation signal, and generating a conversion model by storing correspondence information and extracting physical parameters. The method also includes presenting tactile, auditory, or visual sensations, and simulating operation reaction forces through vibration and sliding on an operation surface. The application also covers methods for generating conversion models and converting relational expressions related to sensitivity parameters and physical parameters. Additionally, the patent application includes claims for a program that causes a computer to perform the method, a sensory control system with an input unit and processor, and a conversion model generation system with a storage unit and processor.
