HAPTIC COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSMITTING HAPTIC INTERACTION

摘要

A haptic communication device and system of remote haptic communication is provided. The haptic communication device may be in the form of a plush toy. The haptic communication device contains a communication apparatus. The communication apparatus includes a pressure sensor potted within a mass of pressure transmitting material and electrically connected to a circuit board. The circuit board may also be electrically connected to other components, such as a microprocessor and a Wi-Fi component. The communication apparatus is capable of accurately detecting a compression force from a first user and is capable of transmitting signals indicating compression to a server over a communication network. A second haptic communication device may receive signals from the server indicating that a first haptic communication device was compressed. The second haptic communication device may then effectuate a haptic response, felt by a second user of the second haptic communication device.
