Electronic device

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display displays a displayed object on a portion of the display;

a panel to be touched by a user;

a display controller controls the display of the displayed object on the portion of the display;

a thermoelectric element cools or heats the panel; and

a temperature controller controls a temperature of the panel in a region corresponding to the portion of the display in which the displayed object is displayed, wherein

the temperature controller controls the temperature in accordance with a temperature information associated with the displayed object displayed on the portion of the display; and

when the displayed object is initially displayed on the display, the temperature controller automatically starts to control the temperature of the panel so that the temperature is cooled or heated according to the temperature information associated with the displayed object displayed, and the temperature controller continues to automatically control the temperature of the panel according to the temperature information associated with the displayed object for so long as the displayed object is displayed.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a determination section determines presence or absence of temperature information associated with the displayed object,

wherein if the temperature information is present, the temperature controller controls the temperature of the panel in accordance with the temperature information.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the temperature information indicates a temperature prescribed by a user for the displayed object.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature controller sets the temperature of the panel to a temperature with which the user is allowed to simulatively experience a temperature which the displayed object would possess in the real-world.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein:

the displayed object represents a captured image of a subject; and

the temperature controller sets the temperature of the panel to a temperature with which the user is allowed to simulatively experience a temperature of the subject.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein when a display position of the displayed object is moved, the temperature controller changes a position at which the temperature of the panel is controlled in accordance with the movement of the display position.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein when different temperatures are prescribed for a plurality of positions of the displayed object, the temperature controller sets temperatures of a plurality of positions of the panel corresponding to the plurality of positions of the displayed object to different temperatures.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein when a plurality of displayed objects having different prescribed temperatures are displayed at the same time on the display, the temperature controller sets temperatures of a plurality of positions of the panel corresponding to the plurality of displayed objects to different temperatures.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a vibrating section vibrates the panel; and

a vibration controller controls a vibration pattern of the vibrating section,

wherein the vibration controller controls the vibration pattern of the vibrating section in accordance with the displayed object displayed on the display.

10. The electronic device according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a determination section determines presence or absence of vibration pattern information associated with the displayed object,

wherein if the vibration pattern information is present, the vibration controller controls the vibration pattern of the vibrating section in accordance with the vibration pattern information.

11. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the vibration controller changes the vibration of the vibrating section when the temperature of the panel reaches a target temperature.

12. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a storage section stores a plurality of different displayable objects, the plurality of different displayable objects having respective different temperature information associated therewith;

wherein, when any of the plurality of different displayable objects is initially displayed on a respective portion of the display, the temperature controller automatically starts to control the temperature of the panel so that the temperature is cooled or heated according to the temperature information associated with the displayable object displayed on the display.

13. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature controller controls the temperature of the panel in a region corresponding with only that portion of the display in which the displayed object is displayed.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program for causing an electronic device to perform a temperature control in accordance with a displayed object, the program causing the electronic device to perform the steps of:

controlling display of the displayed object on a portion of a display;

cooling or heating a panel to be touched by a user;

controlling a temperature of the panel in a region corresponding to the portion of the display in which the displayed object is displayed,

after the displayed object is initially displayed on the display, automatically starting to control the temperature of the panel in accordance with a temperature information associated with the displayed object so that the temperature is cooled or heated according to the temperature information associated with the displayed object displayed on the portion of the display; and

continuing to automatically control the temperature of the panel according to the temperature information associated with the displayed object for so long as the displayed object is displayed on the portion of the display.
