Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device for delivering stimuli to a user of a vehicle includes a data generating device that generates signals regarding information regarding a vehicle or surroundings about the vehicle. A human interface device is provided for positioning in contact with a user of the vehicle. The human interface device receives the signals from the data generating device. A control is operable to select the signals from the data generating device for operating the human interface device to deliver stimuli to the user of the vehicle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A combined vehicle and device for delivering tactile stimuli to a user of the vehicle comprising: a vehicle; a data generating device that generates signals representative of information regarding the vehicle or surroundings about the vehicle; a human interface device having a first surface for positioning in contact with a tongue of a user of the vehicle and that receives the signals from the data generating device, the human interface device providing tactile stimuli to the tongue of the user of the vehicle from the first surface; and a control on the first surface of the human interface device operable by the tongue of the user of the vehicle to select the signals from the data generating device for operating the human interface device to deliver tactile stimuli to the tongue of the user of the vehicle. 2. A device as defined in claim 1 wherein a sensor activates the human interface device when a presence of the user of the vehicle is detected. 3. A device as defined in claim 1 wherein the control is speech-operable. 4. A device as defined in claim 1 wherein the control provides for movement of a cursor among a plurality of icons. 5. A device as defined in claim 1 wherein the control is a tongue-operable, four-corner control. 6.
