TACTILE SENSE PRESENTATION SYSTEM

To present a tactile sense of an object depending on a displacement amount of a displacement unit of a tactile sense presentation device without successively transmitting tactile sense presentation information from an information processing terminal to the tactile sense presentation device.SOLUTION: A tactile sense presentation system 1 comprises an information processing terminal 4 and a tactile sense presentation device 6. The tactile sense presentation device has a displacement unit 102, a magnetic viscosity fluid device 104, a device side control unit 202, a displacement amount detection unit 111, a device side radio communication unit 203 and a storage unit 204. The information processing terminal further has: an object designation reception unit 42; a tactile sense presentation information acquisition unit 43 which acquires tactile sense presentation information for each object, in which a current value, a frequency and/or a duty ratio are associated with a displacement amount of the displacement unit; a terminal side radio communication unit 46; and a terminal side control unit 47 which transmits the tactile sense presentation information to the tactile sense presentation device. The device side control unit inputs current consisting of the current value, the frequency and/or the duty ratio associated with the displacement amount on the tactile sense presentation information received from the information processing terminal into the magnetic viscosity fluid device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】触覚提示情報を情報処理端末から触覚提示装置へ逐次送信することなく触覚提示装置の変位部の変位量に応じた物体の触覚を提示する。【解決手段】触覚提示システム１は情報処理端末４と触覚提示装置６とを備える。触覚提示装置は、変位部１０２と磁気粘性流体装置１０４と装置側制御部２０２と変位量検知部１１１と装置側無線通信部２０３と記憶部２０４とを有する。情報処理端末は、物体指定受付部４２と、変位部の変位量に対して電流値、周波数及び／又はｄｕｔｙ比が対応付けられた、物体毎の触覚提示情報を取得する触覚提示情報取得部４３と、端末側無線通信部４６と、触覚提示情報を触覚提示装置へ送信する端末側制御部４７とを更に有する。装置側制御部は、情報処理端末から受信した触覚提示情報上で変位量に対応付けられた電流値、周波数及び／又はｄｕｔｙ比からなる電流を磁気粘性流体装置に入力する。【選択図】図５
