Haptic sensation producing device, information terminal, haptic sensation producing method, and computer-readable recording medium

摘要

A haptic sensation producing device (10) for presenting a haptic sensation to a user is equipped with a panel-like haptic sensation producing member (11) that is disposed on the front face side of a display panel (20), wires (12) for holding the haptic sensation producing member (11), wire tensile units (13) that are provided for the respective wires and pull the corresponding wires, and a control unit (14) that controls the wire tensile units (13) to move the haptic sensation producing member (11) and generate the haptic sensation. If a change occurs in an object in a content as a result of a touch by the user, the control unit (14) calculates tensile forces such that the haptic sensation conforming to the change can be generated and the tensile forces are optimized, and controls the wire tensile units (13) based on the calculated tensile forces.
