  • Publication number: 20190279472
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a reception apparatus and method, a transmission apparatus and method, and a program, capable of obtaining desired communication quality. Under the control of a central control unit, a tactile signal generation unit generates a tactile signal of a necessary number. Under the control of the central control unit, a header generation unit generates header information including the presence or absence of the tactile signal (that is, information indicating whether or not the tactile signal is to be used for each of vibration units as information associated with the vibration unit that uses the tactile signal), the delay amount, and the magnitude. A signal coupling unit adds header information to each of the tactile signals from the tactile signal generation unit, and performs time-division multiplexing on each of the tactile signals to which the header information has been added.

  • Publication number: 20190180578
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a receiving apparatus and method, a transmitting apparatus and method, and a program, which can vibrate a device in a specific area of a receiving area. An example, in which users wearing respective wearable receiving apparatuses are freely moving in the receiving area, is shown. A directional transmitting device unit transmits an area designation signal, and the reachable range of the signal is shown as a beam irradiation area. Only the user in the beam irradiation area receives the area designation signal transmitted by the directional transmitting device unit. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a video projection system that vibrates a receiving apparatus by transmission and reception of a directional wireless signal in the specific area where the video is projected.
