Patent ID: 8358279

Claim:
A sensation system comprising: a system housing; a haptic switching unit mounted at the system housing and having a haptic actuator for performing a haptic function in response to an electrical signal being inputted; a system control section electrically connected with the haptic switching unit for generating a control signal therefrom to control the haptic switching unit; and a light-emitting section electrically connected with the system control section for emitting light corresponding to each operation of the haptic switching unit in response to the control signal generated from the system control section in cooperation with the haptic switching unit, wherein the light-emitting section comprises: a light-emitting source for generating light in response to the control signal of the system control section; and a system optical unit mounted at a housing of the haptic switching unit in such a fashion as to be disposed adjacent to the light-emitting source for allowing light emitted from the light-emitting source to exit to the outside, wherein the system optical unit comprises a ring-type system optical unit having a through-hole formed therein for allowing the haptic actuator to penetrate therethrough, and wherein a side surface of the system optical unit forms a ring-shaped outer circumference of the system optical unit, and the light-emitting source is arranged to face the side surface of the system optical unit such that the light emitted from the light-emitting source is incident to the side surface of the system optical unit, and the system optical unit refracts and disperses the light from the light-emitting source to exit to the outside from an upper surface of the system optical unit.
