TACTILE STIMULUS CONTROL APPARATUS, TACTILE STIMULUS CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

To provide the user with the relationship between the scrolling speed in scroll-displaying and an operation performed on an input surface, a tactile stimulus control apparatus includes an intensity determination unit and a tactile stimulus control unit. In a case where an operation performed by a manipulator on the input surface provided corresponding to a display unit is detected while an image is scroll-displayed by the display unit, the intensity determination unit determines the intensity of a tactile stimulus to be provided to the manipulator based on the scrolling speed at the timing of detection of the operation. The tactile stimulus control unit controls a tactile stimulus generating unit, which is configured to generate the tactile stimulus to be provided to the manipulator, to generate the tactile stimulus with the intensity determined by the intensity determination unit.

1. A tactile stimulus control apparatus comprising:
an intensity determination unit configured to determine, in a case where an operation performed by a manipulator on an input surface provided corresponding to a display unit is detected while an image is scroll-displayed by the display unit, an intensity of a tactile stimulus to be provided to the manipulator based on a scrolling speed at timing of detection of the operation; a tactile stimulus control unit configured to control a tactile stimulus generating unit configured to generate a tactile stimulus to be provided to the manipulator to generate the tactile stimulus with the intensity determined by the intensity determination unit; and a scrolling speed control unit configured to decrease a scrolling speed in a case where the operation performed by the manipulator on the input surface is detected while the image is scroll-displayed, wherein the intensity determination unit changes the intensity of the tactile stimulus according to a change in the scrolling speed controlled by the scrolling speed control unit.
