Patent number: 11340704Abstract: A system may include a tactile device configured to receive a tactile signal and generate vibrations corresponding to a tactile audio experience based on the tactile signal. The system may also include a computing device configured to perform operations that include receiving an audio signal, and decomposing the audio signal to identify one or more components of the audio signal. The operations may also include generating, by an artificial intelligence system of the computing device, a generated tactile signal based on the one or more components of the audio signal. The operations may also include providing the generated tactile signal to the tactile device.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: SUBPAC, INC.Inventors: Stuart Mansbridge, Noah Baxter, Louis-Piere Guidetti, Sarosh Khwaja, Todd Chernecki, Jérôme Lavoie

Publication number: 20210038435Abstract: A method may include receiving a reading from a pressure sensor disposed within an object in contact with a body of a user, where the pressure sensor includes a force sensitive resistor (FSR) in series with a constant resistor. The object may host a transducer that is configured to provide vibrotactile sensations to the body of the user. The method may also include, using the reading from the pressure sensor, computing an amount of pressure exerted on the object by the body of the user. The method may additionally include comparing the amount of pressure to a pressure threshold data structure to determine a transducer system state associated with the transducer. The method may also include performing equalization processing on an output signal used by the transducer, where the equalization processing is specific to the transducer system state.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2019Publication date: February 11, 2021Inventors: Louis-Pierre Guidetti, Sarosh Khwaja, Todd Chernecki

Patent number: 10812914Abstract: A tactile sound device in proximate contact with a user, comprising a multistage arrangement of vibrotactile materials to impart visceral sensations to a user. The device imparts a physical sensation via a multistage arrangement of vibrotactile materials embodied in a wearable or seated configuration, in response to a wired or wireless signal input.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: SUBPAC, INC.Inventors: John Alexiou, Todd Chernecki, Sarosh S. Khwaja

Patent number: 10674267Abstract: A method may include monitoring a sensor associated with a first location of an automobile seat, where the first location corresponds to a first transducer embedded within the automobile seat, and the automobile seat includes a second transducer at a second location within the automobile seat. The first and the second transducers may be configured to generate tactile feedback upon receiving an activating signal. The method may also include detecting an event triggering the activating signal to be sent to the first transducer, and based on a reading from the sensor indicating that an occupant of the automobile seat is not in contact with the first location, modifying the activating signal such that the first transducer primarily produces an audible sound rather than tactile feedback.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2019Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: SUBPAC, INC.Inventors: Louis-Pierre Guidetti, Sarosh Khwaja, Todd Chernecki

Patent number: 10390156Abstract: A tactile sound device includes a transducer to convert an electrical signal into motion. One or membranes are coupled to the transducer and are adapted to transfer vibrations from the transducer to a user's body. A first sensor monitors the vibrations of the transducer. One or more circuits generate the electrical signal based on a signal received from the first sensor that monitors the vibrations of the transducer.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: SUBPAC, INC.Inventors: Sarosh Khwaja, James A. Kimpel, John Alexiou, Todd Chernecki, Peter R. Williams
