Knowledge in Aiding to Design Tactile Communication System for Visually or Hearing Impaired

阐明了盲人或听障人士触觉交流系统的知识，为系统的设计提供了帮助。设计触觉显示的技术分为以下几类：(1)触觉接收的概念，(2)触觉显示的概念，(3)触觉显示的结构，(4)触觉显示的组件，(5)呈现替代信息的方式，(6)设计这些组件的技术信息，(7)组装这些组件的技术信息，(8)感觉替代系统，(9)用于触觉交流的心理物理知识，(10)用于触觉识别的认知知识。此外，还收集了该领域的506份研究报告并进行了分类。这些分类描述通过几个关键字相互链接，作为设计者在该领域的专家知识的观点。还考虑使用数据库系统将这些知识数字化，以便向每个人提供结果。采用超媒体系统描述所获得的知识。用来实现超链接的Html。因此，这项研究的结果可以作为WWW数据库从http：//www获得。筑波科技。交流电。JP/Treky：8080/kaken/home。HTML。

Knowledge of tactile communication system for the blind or hearing impaired are clarified for helping to design the system. The know-how in designing the tactile display is classified the following categories, (1) concept of tactile reception, (2) concept of tactile desplay, (3) structue of tactile display, (4) component of tactile display, (5) mode to present substitute information, (6) technical information to design these components, (7) technical information to assemble these components, (8) sensory substitution system, (9) psychophysical knowledge for tactile communication, (10) cognitive knowledge for tactile recognition. Furthermore, 506 research reports in this field were collected and categorized. These categorized descriptions are linked each other via several keywords as a view point of expert knowledge of designer in this field. Database system was also considered to digitize this knowledge for the purpose of providing the results to everyone. The hyper media system was adopted to describe the knowledge obtained. The HTML used to realize the hyper link. Thus the results of this research is available as the WWW database from http : //www. tsukuba-tech. ac. jp/treky : 8080/kaken/home. html.
