TACTILE FEEDBACK DEVICE, AND TACTILE FEEDBACK DEVICE CONTROL METHOD

摘要

Dual chips exchange a signal indicating a pressing load detected for providing the tactile sensation such that application process based on the pressing load is performed. A tactile sensation providing apparatus according to the present invention includes a touch sensor, a load detection unit configured to detect the pressing load on the touch sensor for providing the tactile sensation, a tactile sensation providing unit configured to vibrate a touch face of the touch sensor, a tactile sensation provision control unit configured to control drive of the tactile sensation providing unit, and a main control unit configured to control an application. The tactile sensation provision control unit transmits the pressing load to the main control unit. The main control unit, based on an output of the touch sensor and the pressing load received from the tactile sensation provision control unit, performs the application process.
