Abstract

See full text

Providing haptic communications includes attaching to skin of a user a haptic device that produces touch impulses, electronically transmitting a message to the haptic device, converting the message to touch impulses, and providing the touch impulses to the user. Messages may be converted to touch impulses using coding from the Braille system or Morse code. Messages may be converted to touch impulses using Braille coding where the touch impulses are provided by a positional matrix that is part of the device. Messages may be converted to touch impulses using Morse coding where a Morse code dot is provided by a brief touch and where a Morse code dash is provided by a longer touch. The haptic device may be a patch or a sticker attached to the user with a biocompatible adhesive. The haptic device may notify the user of receipt of a new message using special touch symbols.
