VIBRATION DEVICE CONTROL APPARATUS, VIBRATION DEVICE CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

To provide a vibration device control apparatus capable of allowing a vibration device to vibrate in a favorable manner which meets a user's needs.SOLUTION: A vibration device control apparatus comprises; a vibration drive section for supplying a drive signal to a vibration device for giving a vibration to a user via a support member which supports the user; and an information acquisition section for acquiring information including a value related to a load on the support member. The vibration drive section performs: supplying, to the vibration device, a signal indicating a reference vibration intensity as the drive signal when the value related to the load on the support member is within the range of a reference value; supplying, to the vibration device, a signal indicating a vibration intensity weaker than the reference vibration intensity as the drive signal when the value related to the load on the support member is larger than the reference value; and supplying, to the vibration device, a signal indicating a vibration intensity stronger than the reference vibration intensity as the drive signal when the value related to the load on the support member is smaller than the reference value.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】ユーザに合わせた好ましい態様で振動装置を振動させることが可能な振動装置の制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】ユーザを支持する支持部材を介してユーザに振動を伝える振動装置に駆動信号を供給する振動駆動部と、支持部材にかかる荷重に関する値を含む情報を取得する情報取得部と、を有し、振動駆動部は、支持部材にかかる荷重に関する値が基準値の範囲内の場合には駆動信号として基準の振動強度を示す信号を振動装置に供給し、支持部材にかかる荷重に関する値が基準値よりも大きい場合には駆動信号として基準の振動強度よりも弱い振動強度を示す信号を振動装置に供給し、支持部材にかかる荷重に関する値が基準値よりも小さい場合には駆動信号として基準の振動強度よりも強い振動強度を示す信号を振動装置に供給する。【選択図】図１
