Abstract

An information processing system includes a display unit, a detector, plural vibration sources, and a vibration controller. The display unit displays a document on a display screen. The detector detects an operation by an operator on the document displayed on the display screen. The plural vibration sources deliver vibrations to different parts of the operator. The vibration controller performs control to selectively vibrate the plural vibration sources in accordance with contents of the operation detected by the detector.

Claims (46)

1. An information processing system comprising:

a display unit that displays a document on a display screen;

a detector that detects an operation by an operator on the document displayed on the display screen;

a plurality of vibration sources that deliver vibrations to different parts of the operator; and

a vibration controller that performs control to selectively vibrate the plurality of vibration sources in accordance with contents of the operation detected by the detector,

wherein the plurality of vibration sources include

a first vibration source provided in an information processing apparatus having the display screen, and

a second vibration source provided in a wearable device worn on the operator,

wherein the vibration controller vibrates the first vibration source when a plurality of the documents are displayed in superimposing states at different display positions, respectively and when the detector detects an operation of moving a display position of a document in a first superimposing state among the documents in the superimposing states, and

wherein the vibration controller vibrates the second vibration source when the plurality of documents are displayed in the superimposing states at the different display positions, respectively and when the detector detects an operation of moving a display position of a document in a second superimposing state among the documents in the superimposing states.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the operation detected by the detector includes a first operation of changing a display position of the document, and

the vibration controller

vibrates the first vibration source when the detector detects the first operation, and

vibrates the second vibration source when the detector detects an end of the first operation.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the vibration controller stops the vibration of the first vibration source when the detector detects the end of the first operation.

4. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein

the operation detected by the detector includes a second operation of instructing a display position of the document, and

the vibration controller vibrates the second vibration source at a vibration frequency corresponding to a difference between the display position instructed by the second operation and the display position at which the document is displayed on the display screen.

5. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the first operation includes an operation of moving the display position of the document on the display screen.

6. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the operation detected by the detector includes a first operation of changing a display position of the document, and

the vibration controller

vibrates the first vibration source when the detector detects the first operation, and

gradually vibrates the second vibration source immediately before the detector detects an end of the first operation.

7. The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the vibration controller stops the vibration of the first vibration source when the detector detects the end of the first operation.

8. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the operation detected by the detector includes a first operation of changing a display position of the document, and

the vibration controller

vibrates the first vibration source when the detector detects the first operation,

vibrates the second vibration source at a predetermined frequency immediately after the detector detects the first operation,

changes a frequency of the second vibration source to a frequency higher than the predetermined frequency when the detector detects the first operation, and

changes the frequency of the second vibration source to a frequency lower than the higher frequency immediately before the detector detects an end of the first operation.

9. The information processing system according to claim 8 , wherein the vibration controller stops the vibration of the first vibration source when the detector detects the end of the first operation.

10. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration controller changes an amplitude of the vibration of the second vibration source based on a difference between the number of documents moved by the operation of moving the display position of the document in the first superimposing state and the number of documents moved by the operation of moving the display position of the document in the second superimposing state.

11. The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein the vibration controller changes the amplitude of the vibration to be delivered to the operator by superimposing the vibration of one of the first vibration source and the second vibration source on a vibration having an identical phase to or a reverse phase to the vibration of the other of the first vibration source and the second vibration source, based on the difference.

12. An information processing system comprising:

display means for displaying a document on a display screen;

detecting means for detecting an operation by an operator on the document displayed on the display screen;

a plurality of vibration means for delivering vibrations to different parts of the operator; and

vibration control means for performing control to selectively vibrate the plurality of vibration means in accordance with contents of the operation detected by the detecting means,

wherein the plurality of vibration means include

a first vibration means provided in an information processing apparatus having the display means, and

a second vibration means provided in a wearable device worn on the operator,

wherein the vibration control means vibrates the first vibration means when a plurality of the documents are displayed in superimposing states at different display positions, respectively and when the detecting means detects an operation of moving a display position of a document in a first superimposing state among the documents in the superimposing states, and

wherein the vibration control means vibrates the second vibration means when the plurality of documents are displayed in the superimposing states at the different display positions, respectively and when the detecting means detects an operation of moving a display position of a document in a second superimposing state among the documents in the superimposing states.
