TACTILE DISPLAY CONTROL
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a tactile display, comprising:
- receiving image information, with a receiver, related to a tactile image;
determining, with a processor, a top hierarchical area of the display corresponding to the image information;
determining, with the processor, a sub-hierarchical area of the display within the top hierarchical area corresponding to the image information; and
transmitting a signal, with a transmitter, to a tactile display based on the determined sub-hierarchical area, wherein the tactile display is adapted to activate a toxel in the sub-hierarchical area of the tactile display in response to the transmitted signal.

Abstract
Examples of methods, systems and computer accessible mediums related to tactile imaging are generally described herein. Some examples may comprise using a receiver to receive information related to a tactile image. Examples may also comprise using a processing arrangement to determine a top hierarchical area of the display corresponding to the image information and/or determining a sub-hierarchical area of the display within the top hierarchical area corresponding to the image information. Some Examples may further comprise using a transmitter to transmit a signal to a tactile display based on the determined sub-hierarchical area for activating a toxel in the determined sub-hierarchical area of the tactile display. Activation of the toxel may comprise activating a plurality of toxels in a determined sub-hierarchical area in response to the transmitted signal. The hierarchical area may include a plurality of sub-hierarchical areas within the top hierarchical area.

9. A system for tactile data conveyance of fractal hierarchy touch mapping information, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive image information related to a tactile image; a processor configured to; determine a top hierarchical area of the display corresponding to the image information, and determine a sub-hierarchical area of the display within the top hierarchical area corresponding to the image information; and a transmitter configured to transmit a signal to a tactile display based on the determined sub-hierarchical area to activate a toxel in the sub-hierarchical area of the tactile display. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-accessible medium containing executable instructions thereon, wherein when a processor executes the instructions, the processor is configured to:
-
receive image information related to a tactile image; determine a top hierarchical area of the display corresponding to the image information; determine a sub-hierarchical area of the display within the top hierarchical area corresponding to the image information; and transmit a signal to a tactile display based on the determined sub-hierarchical area, wherein the transmitted signal is arranged to activate a toxel in the sub-hierarchical area of the tactile display. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
