Abstract: A method for transmitting information to a body includes providing a set of standardized codes. Each code of the standardized codes is associated with a predefined activation pattern for at least one actuator designed to transmit the information to the body using skin as an interface. A code or a combination of a plurality of codes is selected and transmitted to a wearable accessory having integrated therein the at least one actuator. The at least one actuator is outside a user's body. The at least one actuator is controlled according to the predefined activation pattern associated with the code or the combination of the plurality of codes transmitted. Features about emotional states or states of mind are extracted from biometric and/or environmental signals of biometric and/or environmental sensors. The features are mapped to stored meta information. The meta information is wirelessly transmitted to a receiver.

Abstract: A skin stimulation system (200) is integrated into a piece of clothing or any type of wearable accessory (101, 101?) which is connected to a controlling device (109). The system comprises a variety of sensing means (105a-c, 105?) for input information. Actuators (106a-p) placed on or close to body of a person wearing this piece of clothing or wearable accessory (101, 101?) are used for generating (S104?) visual, auditive, tactile, gustatoric and/or olfactoric stimuli (e.g. heat, pressure, vibrational and/or electric pulses, etc.). The invention further specifies a new method for transmitting tactile information between different wearable computing devices (100, 100?). According to one embodiment of the present invention, a number of different actuator elements (106a-p) which are used for generating vibro-tactile sensations are integrated into a piece of jewelry such as e.g. a necklace (304), a bracelet, rings (900b) with a single or variable number of beads (900a), gemstones, etc.
