Publication number: 20230333685Abstract: A tactile presentation device includes a movable part, a base, a guider, and one or more actuators. The movable part includes a first main surface and presents tactile to a user by being displaced in a predetermined one axial direction parallel to the first main surface. The base supports the movable part in a displaceable manner. The guider connects the base and the movable part, and regulates a displacement direction of the movable part in the one axial direction by sliding in the one axial direction. The actuator displaces the movable part in the one axial direction from one end side of the movable part in the one axial direction. When the number of actuators is one, the actuator is located on a symmetry axis of the movable part parallel to the one axial direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Shanghai Tianma Micro-Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Harue SASAKI, Hiroshi Haga, MingJi Hsu

Patent number: 11334167Abstract: A tactile presentation device includes a touch surface fixed in orientation, an actuator configured to vibrate the touch surface along one axis within the plane of the touch surface, and a controller configured to control vibration of the actuator along the one axis to present tactile stimulus to a finger in contact with the touch surface. The controller is configured to control the actuator in such a manner that direction to start vibration for presenting tactile stimulus to the finger is within a range from minus 43° to plus 43° with respect to a direction of gravity projected on the touch surface or the opposite direction thereof.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignees: Wuhan Tianma Micro-Electronics Co., Ltd., TIANMA JAPAN, LTD.Inventors: Harue Sasaki, Hiroshi Haga, Koji Shigemura, Hirotsugu Yamamoto
