Abstract

A presentation device 1 includes an obtaining unit 11 which obtains information to be notified to a user, a control unit 12 which inputs, to a presentation unit 13 , an instruction for presenting a temperature stimulus if there is information to be notified to the user, and the presentation unit 13 which presents the temperature stimulus in response to the instruction for presenting the temperature stimulus received from the control unit 12 such that the user feels that temperature stimulus when the presentation unit touches a first part and the user does not feel the temperature stimulus when the presentation unit touches the second part which is less perceptive than the first part. The presentation unit 13 is provided at a location where the presentation unit can touch the first part by means of an action of the user.

Claims (25)

1 . A presentation device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory device storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

obtaining information to be notified to a user;

inputting, to a presentation unit, an instruction for presenting a temperature stimulus if there is information to be notified to the user; and

presenting the temperature stimulus in response to the instruction for presenting the temperature stimulus received from a control unit such that the user feels the temperature stimulus when a presentation unit touches a first part, and the user does not feel the temperature stimulus when the presentation unit touches a second part which is less perceptive than the first part,

wherein

the presentation unit is provided at a position where the presentation unit can touch the first part by means of an action of the user.

2 . The presentation device according to claim 1 , wherein

the presentation unit is provided at a mounting fixture mounted at the body of the user and has a raised shape with respect to the mounting fixture.

3 . The presentation device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the operations further comprise:

wherein the presentation unit includes a first presentation unit and a second presentation unit, and

inputting the instruction for presenting the temperature stimulus to the first presentation unit and not inputting, the instruction for presenting the temperature stimulus to the second presentation unit.

4 . The presentation device according to claim 1 , wherein

the presentation unit configured to have a temperature or an area in which the user feels the temperature stimulus if the presentation unit touches the first part and the user does not feel the temperature stimulus if the presentation unit touches the second part.

5 . A presenting method, comprising:

obtaining information to be notified to a user using a computer;

inputting, to a presentation unit, an instruction for presenting a temperature stimulus using the computer if there is information to be notified to the user;

presenting the temperature stimulus in response to the instruction for presenting the temperature stimulus received by the presentation unit such that the user feels the temperature stimulus when the presentation unit touches a first part and the user does not feel the temperature stimulus when the presentation unit touches a second part which is less perceptive than the first part; and

determining whether there is information to be notified by causing the presentation unit to touch the first part by the user.

6 . A recording medium storing a presentation program processing program, where executing of the presentation program causes one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

obtaining information to be notified to a user;

inputting, to a presentation unit, an instruction for presenting a temperature stimulus if there is information to be notified to the user;

presenting the temperature stimulus in response to the instruction for presenting the temperature stimulus received by the presentation unit such that the user feels the temperature stimulus when the presentation unit touches a first part and the user does not feel the temperature stimulus when the presentation unit touches a second part which is less perceptive than the first part; and

determining whether there is information to be notified by causing the presentation unit to touch the first part by the user.
