Abstract

There is provided an information processing device to cause vibration to be generated suitable for a state between an information processing device including a vibrating device and a user, the information processing device including: corrected vibration data configured to generate corrected information for correcting a strength of vibration data for a vibrating device including a vibrator on a basis of information provided from a detecting unit configured to detect a contact state of the vibrating device; and an vibration signal generating unit configured to generate a vibration signal from the corrected vibration data.

Claims (27)

1. An information processing device comprising:

a plurality of vibrating devices in different positions, each vibrating device of the plurality of vibrating devices including a vibrator; and

circuitry configured to

detect a wearing position of each vibrating device of the plurality of vibrating devices,

store the detected wearing position of each vibrating device,

generate corrected vibration data obtained by correcting a strength of vibration data for each vibrating device based on the stored wearing position of the vibrating device, and

generate a vibration signal from the corrected vibration data for each vibrating device.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the corrected vibration data is generated to increase the strength of the vibration data.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the corrected vibration data is generated to correct a frequency of the vibration data for vibrating the vibrator in accordance with the stored wearing position.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information processing device comprises a jacket-type wearable terminal.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein timing of haptic data generation related to the vibration data is controlled based on visual information of a display image.

6. An information processing method comprising:

detecting a wearing position of each vibrating device of the plurality of vibrating devices, each vibrating device including a vibrator;

storing the detected wearing position of each vibrating device;

generating corrected vibration data obtained by correcting a strength of vibration data for each vibrating device based on the stored wearing position of the vibrating device; and

generating a vibration signal from the corrected vibration data for each vibrating device.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by an information processing device of a computer, causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:

detecting a wearing position of each vibrating device of the plurality of vibrating devices, each vibrating device including a vibrator;

storing the detected wearing position of each vibrating device;

generating corrected vibration data obtained by correcting a strength of vibration data for each vibrating device based on the stored wearing position of the vibrating device; and

generating a vibration signal from the corrected vibration data for each vibrating device.

8. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the circuitry further generates the corrected vibration data for each vibrating device based on a detected pressing pressure of the vibrating device.
