Chair and System for Transmitting Sound and Vibration
First Claim
1. A method of providing vibrational energy to a user comprising:
- regulating vibrations emanating from an electromagnetic driver connected to a seating configuration, wherein said regulating includes;
receiving an input signal having an input signal frequency spectrum;
correlating a plurality of frequency segments of said input signal frequency spectrum with a plurality of frequency segments of an output signal frequency spectrum;
generating an output signal based on said output signal frequency spectrum;
amplifying said output signal; and
transmitting an amplified output signal to the electromagnetic driver.

Abstract
The present invention is a chair or similar body-supporting apparatus for sitting on, reclining on or lying upon. The chair or similar apparatus is capable of transmitting sound and vibrations generated by a sound source and/or a vibration source to a user'"'"'s body. The sound and vibrations are transmitted through speakers, transducers, or a combination thereof which are connected to the chair or similar apparatus. The transmitted sound and vibrations may include translated frequencies that are generated by a translation of higher frequencies that can mainly be heard to lower frequencies that can mainly be felt. The present invention is also a method of providing vibrational energy to a user, including regulating sound and vibrations transmitted through speakers, transducers, or a combination thereof which are connected to a chair or similar body-supporting apparatus.

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
a seating configuration; an electromagnetic driver connected to said seating configuration; a signal processor adapted to receive a first spectrum audio signal, said signal processor translating said first spectrum audio signal into a second spectrum audio signal, with frequency components of said first spectrum audio signal being translated into frequency components of said second spectrum audio signal; and an amplifier which receives said second spectrum audio signal and provides an amplified output signal to said electromagnetic driver. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
