Patent ID: 10545576

Abstract:
An electronic device can provide a satisfactory tactile sensation by Fourier-transforming a first image including brightness information, to obtain a first spatial-frequency distribution of the brightness, obtaining a second spatial-frequency distribution by multiplying the first spatial-frequency distribution by a coefficient depending on the first image size, obtaining a first time-frequency distribution based on the second spatial-frequency distribution and an input operation speed, filtering the first time-frequency distribution through a filter in which the transmittance for a frequency band detectable by Pacini's corpuscles is reduced, to obtain a second time-frequency distribution, converting the second time-frequency distribution into a third spatial-frequency distribution, based on the coefficient and the predetermined speed, inverse-Fourier-transforming the third spatial-frequency distribution, to obtain a second image, and driving a vibration element by a drive signal that has an amplitude according to brightness of the second image at the input position.
