Traffic information presentation system, traffic information presentation method, and electronic device
View Patent ↗A traffic information presentation system according to an embodiment is a system for presenting a tactile sensation to a user based on traffic information, including: a touch section; a tactile presentation section; an input section for receiving traffic information; and a control section for controlling the tactile presentation section based on the traffic information. The control section monitors a status of touch with respect to the touch section, and accepts an instruction from the user that corresponds to the touch input operation when detecting that an amount of change in touched position equals to or exceeds a certain amount. When detecting that the amount of change in touched position is less than the certain amount and that the touch duration equals to or exceeds a certain length, the control section causes the tactile presentation section to present a tactile sensation based on the traffic information.
1. A traffic information presentation system for presenting a tactile sensation to a user based on traffic information, comprising:
a touch section to be touched by the user;
a tactile presentation section for presenting a tactile sensation to the user;
an input section for receiving traffic information; and
a control section for controlling the tactile presentation section based on the received traffic information,
wherein,
the control section
monitors a status of touch with respect to the touch section,
accepts an instruction from the user corresponding to a touch input operation when detecting that an amount of change in touched position equals to or exceeds a certain amount, and
causes the tactile presentation section to present a tactile sensation based on the traffic information when detecting that the amount of change in touched position is less than the certain amount and that a touch duration equals to or exceeds a certain length.
2. The traffic information presentation system of claim 1 , wherein, when the touch duration is less than the certain length, the control section accepts an instruction from the user corresponding to a touch input operation.
3. The traffic information presentation system of claim 1 , wherein, when detecting that the touch on the touch section still continues after a tactile sensation is presented, the control section causes the tactile presentation section to again present a tactile sensation based on the traffic information.
4. The traffic information presentation system of claim 1 , wherein, when detecting a touch input operation after a tactile sensation is presented, the control section accepts an instruction from the user corresponding to a touch input operation.
5. The traffic information presentation system of claim 1 , wherein the input section receives the traffic information from an external device.
6. The traffic information presentation system of claim 1 , wherein,
as the control section, the traffic information presentation system includes a first control section being provided in a first device and a second control section being provided in a second device other than the first device, wherein the first device includes the touch section and the tactile presentation section;
the first device and the second device perform wireless communications;
the second control section monitors a status of touch with respect to the touch section; and
the first control section controls the tactile presentation section based on a result of monitoring by the second control section.
7. An electronic device for use in a traffic information presentation system for presenting a tactile sensation to a user based on traffic information, comprising:
a touch section to be touched by the user;
a tactile presentation section for presenting a tactile sensation to the user;
an input section for receiving traffic information; and
a control section for controlling the tactile presentation section based on the received traffic information,
wherein,
the control section
monitors a status of touch with respect to the touch section,
accepts an instruction from the user corresponding to a touch input operation when detecting that an amount of change in touched position equals to or exceeds a certain amount, and
causes the tactile presentation section to present a tactile sensation based on the traffic information when detecting that the amount of change in touched position is less than the certain amount and that a touch duration equals to or exceeds a certain length.
8. A method of presenting a tactile sensation to a user based on traffic information, comprising the steps of:
receiving traffic information;
monitoring a status of touch with respect to a touch section to be touched by the user;
accepting an instruction from the user corresponding to a touch input operation when detecting that an amount of change in touched position equals to or exceeds a certain amount; and
presenting a tactile sensation based on the traffic information when detecting that the amount of change in touched position is less than the certain amount and that a touch duration equals to or exceeds a certain length.
