Abstract

An apparatus for providing feedback on a user input and a method of providing the same are provided. The apparatus includes: a user input receiver which receives a user input; a signal generator which generates a composite signal including at least one of a sound signal and a vibration signal; a thin film speaker which is attached under the user input receiver and generates a feedback signal on the user input according to the composite signal generated by the signal generator; and a controller which controls the signal generator to compose the sound signal and the vibration signal.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2010-0073422 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jul. 29, 2010, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] Apparatus and methods consistent with the exemplary embodiments relate to an apparatus and method for providing feedback on user input, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for providing feedback on user input using a vibration signal. Background technique [0003] In devices where user input is possible through a touch screen, there is no physical feedback from the device that occurs when the user presses a switch or button. Therefore, it is inconvenient to use the touch screen because it is difficult for the user to determine whether the input has been made accurately. [0004] Therefore, in order to solve these problems, touch screen feedback devices have been developed to provide appropriate feedback for user ...
