Problems solved by technology

[0013] However, the inventors have found the following problem: the technology of Patent Document 1 guides the user's finger to the position of the button through a vibration pattern that displaces the user's finger in the vertical and / or horizontal direction of the display, The deformation direction of the skin of the finger when drawing and moving in the direction where the GUI exists on the panel is opposite to the deformation direction of the skin of the finger caused by the vibration for guiding to the position where the button exists. Input operation for smooth finger movement

Embodiment approach 1

[0083] The tactile input and output device of Embodiment 1 prompts vibration at the touch position closest to the target GUI (icon, button, etc.) among the multiple touch positions detected by the multi-touch panel, and does not prompt vibration at other simultaneously touched touch positions. Thereby, the direction in which the target GUI exists can be presented.

[0084] For example, in a display with a multi-touch panel, a function such as zooming in on a map is realized by moving to increase the distance between two touched positions, and conversely, by shortening the distance between the two touched positions. to move and zoom out to display the map. When the map is zoomed in, zoomed out, or scrolled in any direction, when referring to the information around the destination, the displayed object such as the destination (shown on the display with an icon or button) may deviate from the display range of the display, If the map is scrolled in a certain direction, it is unkn...

Embodiment approach 2

[0264] As described above, the user can grasp the direction of an object located outside the display area through vibration, and the user can scroll content 13 such as a map or a document with one or more fingers. At this time, in this modified embodiment, the magnitude or type of vibration is changed according to the distance between the object and the display area boundary (or touch position). Specifically, the closer the object is to the display area, the greater the vibration (or vice versa) or the greater the number of vibration stimuli (or vice versa), the user can grasp the distance between the object and the display area through tactile sense. In this way, the user can grasp not only the direction of the object but also the sense of distance from the display area through the sense of touch, so the user can prepare to stop the scrolling operation. As described above, according to the tactile input / output device of the first embodiment, the direction in which the target ...

Abstract

The tactile input and output device has: a panel (101); a plurality of actuators (102) for vibrating the panel (101); Time-series information of multiple touch positions of touch input, calculate the moving direction and moving distance of the touch position; display part (110), display content; direction determination part (104), determine the object on the content relative to the display part (110) The existence direction of the existing direction; the vibration prompt position determination unit (105) determines the first touch position with the shortest distance to the object and the second touch position detected at the same time; the prompt vibration determination unit (106) determines the position indicated in the first The tactile signal of the vibration prompted by the touch position; the multi-point simultaneous vibration control part (107), which performs the control of prompting a prescribed vibration at the first touch position and not prompting the vibration at the second touch position; and the content control part (109), According to the moving direction and moving distance of the touch position, the content is scrolled and displayed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to vibrating a touch panel to output to a user the direction in which an object such as a GUI operated by a touch input exists. In particular, it relates to a tactile input / output device that uses a multi-touch panel capable of simultaneously detecting multiple touch positions of multiple fingers, and presents different vibrations to multiple fingers at the same time, thereby presenting the direction of an object such as a GUI to the user. Background technique [0002] In recent years, various devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, car navigation equipment, personal computers, game machines, ATMs, and ticket vending machines have been equipped with touch panels or touch panels. In these devices equipped with a touch panel, an object such as a GUI to be operated is displayed on a display, and the user operates the object by visually confirming the position of the GUI and touching it. [0003] In addition, smartphones, ta...
