RENDERING METHOD OF OFF-LINE FORCE EFFECT AND ITS DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To schedule a sequencial effect, a continuous effect or a overlapping effect by executing a scheduler by means of a processor and scheduling a force effect which is requested by means of a host computer. SOLUTION: A command from the host computer 33 or response from the processor 35 are transmitted by way of a communication link 41 in a force feed-back system 31 including a joy stick. The host computer 33 transmits a parameter concerning the force effect and the effect to be rendered is indicated by the processor 35. A driving signal generated from the processor 35 which renders the force effect is supplied to an actuator 39 where touch sensing force for executing transmission to a user is generated. A position detector 37 is connected to the processor 35 and an output signal indicating the position of a joy stick control handle is supplied to the processor 35 or transmitted to the host computer 33.
