Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to mobile telephony and active implanted devices and more particularly to the provision of mobile services to a human or animal in an invisible, unobtrusive and more convenient way for speech, audio and vision.
  • BACKGROUND ART Telepathy is defined as 'the action of one mind on another without the aid of the senses', however, to most people, this means being able to communicate 'thoughts' or information between one person and another over a distance, without an apparent connection.
  • the aim of the present invention is to produce an effect which simulates some of the characteristics of telepathy.
  • This 'Artificial Telepathy' is limited to the ability to communicate audio and/or visual information between two or more people, animals or computers, with no obvious devices and in one embodiment, with no manual actions being required to initiate connection.
  • Figure 1 shows one possible embodiment of the invention. Background art which is used in the invention includes mobile telephony, implantable devices such as pacemakers and speech recognition technology such as IBM ViaVoice.
  • the means for mobile communication between individuals and computers virtually world-wide has been enabled by mobile network providers.
  • Mobile telephony is now commonplace in most developed countries and is providing a means of communication in underdeveloped countries where wired networks do not exist.
  • the first mobile phones weighed a number of kilograms and were about the size of a briefcase. Due to advances in computing, microelectronics and signal processing, the most modern mobile phones are based on circuitry which is no larger than a postage stamp and weighs less than thirty grams.
  • the level of integration is such that mobile phones will soon be available on one microchip, small enough to be implanted in a human being or animal.
  • This interconnectivity makes it possible to relay speech, video or data between users who are located within any one of these mobile networks across the world, using small hand-held devices called mobile stations.
  • These mobile stations may be capable of relaying speech only or speech and data, including video information, personal information and data obtained through measurement and/or calculation.
  • Speech recognition and speech synthesis are becoming relatively mature technologies, with commercial systems being available on standard desktop and even palm-held computers.
  • the accuracy of recognition can now be achieved above 98% under certain conditions and this is improving regularly.
  • the quality of speech synthesis is already extremely good, producing natural sounding speech from text or stored messages.
  • the operation of a mobile phone through speech commands is now feasible, allowing complete freedom of the hands while dialing or answering a call and the mobile phone is capable of delivering status messages in naturally sounding speech, such as reading menu items, phone numbers, short messages and call status.
  • a partial solution to these problems is the implementation of a device which is similar to the 'Bluetooth Headset' but hidden within the body. This would produce a system which could function in a way which appeared to be 'Artificial Telepathy'. The person in whom the system is implanted would have no visible sign that they were connected to the mobile system. At least in the early stages, the connection to the mobile network would be through a small box hidden in a pocket or briefcase or under clothing. This would provide the high power connection to the network and eliminate any radiation dangers which may arise from having a high powered transmitter close to or in the head. In future systems, when mobile networks become denser and lower powers can be implemented, the whole system may be implanted.
  • the implementation of the proposed invention presents certain challenges due to its implantation within the body:
  • Implanted audio transducers behave differently if they do not operate through the air using normal sound pressure waves. Examples of such devices are throat microphones used by divers and bone transducers, sometimes used by the deaf when there is a problem with the ear canal. These are not presently implanted but would function similarly if they were.
  • a further means of aural connection which is used for the profoundly deaf is through a Cochlear implant. Future research in this area may make this method available also for general users. These means of connection tend to produce signals which differ from the sound pressure signals we are used to hearing and would therefore need to be processed in a signal processing device to produce intelligible and natural sounding audio.
  • FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention for speech information
  • FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of this preferred embodiment
  • FIG. 3 shows a variation of this preferred embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 4 shows a further variation of this preferred embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 5 shows a block diagram of a fourth embodiment of the invention which also includes video information
  • FIG. 1 One embodiment of the invention is shown in Figure 1 with a corresponding block diagram of the system shown in Figure 2.
  • oral transducer 1 and aural transducer 2 are implanted in the head/neck 3, in such a position that oral transducer 1 can receive speech from the mouth or throat of the host and aural transducer 2 can send speech to at least one ear of the host.
  • Oral transducer 1 is directly coupled to a low-power radio transmitter 4 which sends speech information over radio link 5 to low-power transponder 6 mounted on or near the body 7.
  • Aural transducer 2 is directly coupled to low-power receiver 8 which receives speech information over radio link 5 from low-power transponder 6.
  • Low-power transponder 6 is connected to mobile phone engine 9 which is registered on mobile network 10.
  • Mobile network 10 is in turn connected to the world-wide telephone system 11 and thence to other users 12.
  • speech recogniser and synthesizer 13 interfaces to low-power transponder 6 and mobile phone engine 9 to translate oral signals into control signals and status signals into aural signals.
  • a charging circuit 14 provides energy over magnetic or electrostatic link 15 to one or more power supplies 16 which supply power to implanted components 1, 2, 4 and 8.
  • a second embodiment, shown in Figure 3, is to combine transmitter 4 and receiver 8 into one low-power transponder 17. This would require longer implanted connections to oral transducer 1 and aural transducer 2.
  • a third embodiment, shown in Figure 4 is the removal of transponders 4, 8 (or 17) and 6 by directly implanting mobile phone engine 9 and speech recogniser and synthesizer 13 into head 3.
  • a fourth embodiment, shown in Figure 5 is the addition of a video camera 18 and video display 19 connected to a low-power transponder 20 which communicates with mobile phone engine 9 through low-power transponder 6.
  • the video camera 18 and video display 19 may be monovision or stereovision and may be external to the body (mounted in a set of spectacles for example) or may, in future embodiments, be implanted and mioelectrically connected through tissue or nerve cells.
  • the invention is applicable to everyday communications between people.

Abstract

Dispositif destiné à fournir à son utilisateur une forme de télépathie artificielle, à savoir la capacité de communiquer avec d'autres sans signes évidents de connexion. Ledit système comporte un 'moteur' téléphone mobile qui sert d'interface avec un réseau de téléphonie mobile public existant ou futur. Ce dispositif contient également un transpondeur de très faible puissance qui est relié sans fil à un ou plusieurs transpondeurs correspondants implantés dans le corps. Ces transpondeurs implantés sont connectés à des transducteurs implantés dont l'un est placé dans une position telle qu'il intercepte les paroles prononcées par un utilisateur et dont l'autre est placé dans une position telle qu'il produit des signaux vocaux et d'état audibles par l'utilisateur. Les transducteurs peuvent être connectés acoustiquement, soit par contact osseux, soit par contact avec d'autres tissus, ou mioélectriquement, par des électrodes connectées à des tissus ou à des nerfs. Dans de futurs réseaux de télécommunication, lorsque les exigences de niveau de puissance seront beaucoup plus faibles, le dispositif dans son ensemble pourra être implanté et connecté directement à un réseau mobile public. Ledit système est en outre amélioré par l'utilisation de la technologie de reconnaissance vocale, qui rend possible le fonctionnement de ce dispositif via des instructions vocales ou sonores, sans utilisation d'actions manuelles. Une autre amélioration du système serait une capacité de transfert d'images via un dispositif connecté visuellement ou électriquement aux yeux et une petite caméra destinée à enregistrer ce que les yeux voient. Ce dispositif possède des caractéristiques qui imitent la télépathie en ce qu'il permet une communication vocale et d'images en apparence invisible avec d'autres utilisateurs connectés au réseau.
