Abstract:
In at least one embodiment, an apparatus for providing a tactile output associated with an audio output is provided. The apparatus includes an audio controller that is coupled to a plurality of tactile transducers with each tactile transducer being positioned in a seat of a vehicle. The audio controller is configured to receive a command indicative of a desired tactile feedback for a seat of the vehicle, the desired tactile feedback is associated with an audio output that is played back by one or more speakers in the vehicle. The audio controller is further configured to transmit a control signal indicative of the desired tactile feedback to be provided by a tactile transducer in the seat of the vehicle such that the tactile transducer generates the desired tactile feedback at the seat while the one or more speakers in the vehicle playback the audio output.

Claim (Index 14):
A computer-program product embodied in a non-transitory computer read-able medium that is programmed for providing a tactile output in a vehicle, the computer-program product comprising instructions for:\n receiving a first signal indicative of whether a first vehicle occupant is positioned on a first seat; transmitting a first control signal indicative of a first tactile feedback to be provided by a first tactile transducer in the first seat of the vehicle to generate the first tactile feedback at the first seat while one or more loudspeakers in the vehicle playback an audio output in response to the first signal indicating that the first vehicle occupant is positioned on the first seat; and one of activating or deactivating the first tactile transducer in response to the first signal.
