Personal media playing system
An apparatus for personal media playing, the apparatus comprising: a signal receiver, configured to receive a media signal, a signal generator, in communication with the signal receiver, configured to derive a plurality of signals from the received media signal, and tailor each of the derived signals for a respective one of a plurality of body areas of a user, and a plurality of vibration devices, in communication with the signal generator, each vibration device being deployable on a respective one of the body areas of the user and configured to vibrate on the body area, according to the signal tailored for the body area.
1. A vibration transducer comprising:
A coil and an array of magnets arranged around an axis of the coil, and distanced from the coil,
a frame comprising a flat strip of metal formed into a symmetrical trapezoidal shaped closed metal loop having rounded corners,
the coil fixed to a first parallel side of the frame, and the array of magnets coupled to an opposite parallel side of the frame,
wherein an alternating current in the coil causes the array of magnets to wiggle in a plane about the axis, substantially perpendicular to the axis of the coil causing the frame to vibrate within the plane of the frame.
2. The vibration transducer of claim 1 , wherein the array of magnets comprises a plurality of magnets in zero-cross configuration.
3. The vibration transducer of claim 1 , further comprising a housing covering the coil and array of magnets.
4. The vibration transducer of claim 1 , wherein the coil and array of magnets are mounted on opposite sides of the frame, and part of the frame comprises at least one springy section.
5. The vibration transducer of claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises a metal.
6. The vibration transducer of claim 1 , configured to vibrate at a frequency in the range of 0-250 Hz.
7. The vibration transducer of claim 1 , configured to vibrate at an infrasonic frequency in the range of 0-20 Hz.
8. The vibration transducer of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless signal receiver for receiving a signal coupled to a signal generator for creating signals for the vibration transducers.
9. The vibration transducer of claim 1 , comprising a wire for coupling to an external power supply.
10. The vibration transducer of claim 1 comprising a wire for coupling to an external signal generator.
11. The vibration transducer of claim 1 further comprising at least one of a clip for attachment to a garment and a strap for attaching to a part of a human anatomy.
12. A system comprising at least a first and second vibration device of claim 1 , for attaching to a body of a person for receiving a signal from a signal generator and for providing said human with an emersion experience of bass notes.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein a first vibration device is attached to the body near a spine.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first vibration device is attached to the body of a person at a lower back.
15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the first vibration device further comprises a strap around the body.
16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first vibration device is attached to at least one of a waist band of a skirt or trouser, a belt around the body and a dedicated strap.
17. The system of claim 12 , wherein a second vibration device is a chest vibration device for deploying near a sternum.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the second vibration device is clipped onto a garment selected from the group comprising under-vests, bras, shirts, blouses, sweaters, tea shirts and over garments.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the second vibration device is worn on a strap around a neck.
20. The system of claim 12 , wherein at least one vibration device is attached to the body near at least one of the group comprising femur top, pelvis, radius, ulna, hand, tibia and an ankle.
