<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique applicable for various uses, which is a technique of notifying a user of information based on a tactile stimulus. <P>SOLUTION: Contact detection units 101-1 to 101-M are attached to an information transfer device 100 in a predetermined arrangement pattern to detect direct/indirect contact. Stimulus presentation units 104-1 to 104-N are attached to the information transfer device 100 in a predetermined arrangement pattern to present a tactile stimulus. A contact pattern recognition unit 102 specifies a contact detection unit that has detected direct/indirect contact. A stimulus pattern generation unit 103 specifies, based on the arrangement distribution of the specified contact detection unit and the type of information to be presented via a tactile stimulus, a stimulus presentation unit to be driven, and drives and controls the specified stimulus presentation unit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
