TOUCH SENSITIVE DEVICE FOR PROVIDING MINI-MAP OF TACTILE USER INTERFACE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

A touch sensitive device includes a touch sensitive panel for providing a tactile user interface including at least one tactile object, a sensor unit configured to detect contact with the touch sensitive panel and generate contact region information of a contact region in which the contact is detected, a tactile feedback unit configured to generate tactile feedback of a mini-map of the tactile user interface in the contact region indicated by the generated contact region information, and a controller configured to control the touch sensitive panel, the sensor unit, the tactile feedback unit and the tactile user interface. The mini-map of the tactile user interface includes a duplicate of the tactile object provided on the touch sensitive panel, and the duplicate of the tactile object indicates a direction from the contact region indicated by the contact region information to the tactile object.
