Abstract:
Provided is a vibrator controlling method and apparatus. The vibrator controlling apparatus may control a vibrator to generate a vibration of a magnitude not to be sensed by a user. A stimulus of at least a threshold of nerves may be generated when a vibration of the vibrator resonates with a vibration resulting from another stimulus. The nerves may sense the generated stimulus so that the user senses a presence of the other stimulus.

Claim (Index 1):
A vibrator controlling method comprising:\n determining a vibration amplitude of a vibrator; determining a vibration direction for a single sample period by,\n generating a random number, and \n determining the vibration direction within the single sample period as one of a positive direction and a negative direction based on the random number; \n generating an initial vibration signal based on the vibration amplitude and the vibration direction such that the initial vibration signal cyclically increases or decreases in frequency based on the vibration direction; generating a final vibration signal by filtering out a component of the initial vibration signal exceeding a set frequency; and controlling the vibrator based on the final vibration signal such that, as the frequency of vibration generated by the vibrator cyclically increases or decreases, at least a portion of the vibration has a same resonate frequency as an external stimulus.
