ELECTRONIC DEVICE, DRIVE CONTROLLING METHOD, AND DRIVE CONTROLLING APPARATUS

摘要

An electronic device includes a display part; a top panel having a manipulation input surface; first vibrating elements configured to vibrate the manipulation input surface; second vibrating elements configured to vibrate the manipulation input surface; a memory configured to store section area data, in which coordinate points of section areas and identifiers of the first vibrating elements and the second vibrating elements are associated, the manipulation input surface being sectioned into the section areas; and a drive controlling part configured to drive at least one of the first vibrating elements and the second vibrating elements based on a position of a manipulation input performed on the manipulation input surface and the section area data by using a driving signal causing the at least one of the first vibrating elements and the second vibrating elements to generate a natural vibration in an ultrasound-frequency-band in the manipulation input surface.

主权项

1. An electronic device comprising:
a display part; a top panel disposed on a display surface side of the display part and having a manipulation input surface, the top panel having a rectangular shape in plan view; a position detector configured to detect a position of a manipulation input performed on the manipulation input surface; a plurality of first vibrating elements disposed along one side of the top panel, the plurality of first vibrating elements being configured to vibrate the manipulation input surface of the top panel; a plurality of second vibrating elements disposed along a side facing the one side of the top panel, the plurality of second vibrating elements being configured to vibrate the manipulation input surface of the top panel; a memory configured to store section area data, in which coordinate points of section areas and identifiers of the plurality of first vibrating elements and the plurality of second vibrating elements are associated, the manipulation input surface being sectioned into the section areas; and a drive controlling part configured to drive at least one of the plurality of first vibrating elements and the plurality of second vibrating elements based on the position of the manipulation input performed on the manipulation input surface and the section area data by using a driving signal causing the at least one of the plurality of first vibrating elements and the plurality of second vibrating elements to generate a natural vibration in an ultrasound-frequency-band in the manipulation input surface.
