The ratio of winding torque increase/decrease is determined by a torque rising curve. The winding torque switches to Winding Force 3 to perform a constant torque operation when speed of the drum reaches Winding Force 3 Reference Rotation Speed.

Abstract: When an operation to a touch sensor 11 is detected in a first operation state in which a main control unit 16 is not busy with data processing, a tactile sensation provision control unit 14 controls a tactile sensation providing unit 13 to vibrate a touch face 11a in a first vibration mode such that a first tactile sensation is provided to an operation object. On the other hand, when the operation is detected in a second operation state in which the main control unit 16 is busy with data processing, the touch face 11a is vibrated in a second vibration mode such that a second vibration is provided to the operation object. Since different tactile sensations are provided, an operator may recognize whether processing corresponding to the operation may be executed. Thereby, re-inputs are minimized.
