FEEDBACK DEVICE, CONTENT REPRODUCTION DEVICE, SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING THERMAL EXPERIENCE, AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING THERMAL EXPERIENCE

摘要

The present invention relates to a feedback device, a content reproduction device, a system for providing thermal experience, and a method for providing thermal experience. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for providing thermal experience performed by a content reproduction device associated with a feedback device that outputs a thermal feedback by using a thermoelectric element includes the steps of: driving an electronic game operated by manipulation of a user and including a player who has a physical power point and dies when the physical power point is completely exhausted; obtaining at least one of intensity and a type of the thermal feedback according to variation of the physical power point while progressing the electronic game; and controlling an operation of the feedback device such that the thermal feedback is output according to at least one of the obtained intensity and type, wherein the obtaining step includes at least one of a step of obtaining the intensity of the thermal feedback according to an amount of the variation of the physical power point, a step of obtaining the intensity of the thermal feedback according to a ratio of the variation to a maximum value of the physical power point, and a step of obtaining the type of the thermal feedback depending on whether the variation of the physical power point is an increase or a decrease.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2018
