Abstract

A touch control feedback device of a touch control display device, for providing feedback to touching statuses of a user corresponding to the touch control display device, includes at least one vibrator for generating vibration, a detection unit for detecting the touching statuses of the user corresponding to the touch control display device to generate a detection result, and a control unit coupled between the detection unit and the at least one vibrator for adjusting a vibration characteristics of the at least one vibrator.

Claims

1. A touch control feedback device for a touch control display device, for providing feedback to touch statuses of a user corresponding to the touch control display device, the touch control feedback device comprising:

at least one vibrator, for generating vibration;

a detection unit, for detecting the touch statuses of the user corresponding to the touch control display device, to generate a detection result; and

a control unit, coupled between the detection unit and the at least one vibrator, for adjusting vibration characteristics of the at least one vibrator according to the detection result.

2. The touch control feedback device of claim 1, wherein the vibration characteristics of the at least one vibrator are selected from vibration intensity, vibration speed and vibration duration.

3. The touch control feedback device of claim 1, wherein the detection result generated by the detection unit comprises quantity of touch points, sliding speed or speed of repeated clicks of the user corresponding to the touch control display device.

4. The touch control feedback device of claim 1, wherein when a quantity of the at least one vibrator is greater than one, the control unit further adjusts a quantity of vibrators generating vibrations within the at least one vibrator according to the detection result.

5. The touch control feedback device of claim 1, further comprising a power supply module, for providing power to the at least one vibrator, wherein the control unit adjusts the vibration characteristics of the at least one vibrator via the power supply module.

6. A touch control feedback method for a touch control display device, for providing feedback to touch statuses of a user corresponding to the touch control display device, the touch control feedback method comprising:

detecting the touch statuses of the user corresponding to the touch control display device, to generate a detection result; and

generating a vibration and adjusting vibration characteristics of the vibration according to the detection result.

7. The touch control feedback method of claim 6, wherein the vibration characteristics of the vibration are selected from vibration intensity, vibration speed and vibration duration.

8. The touch control feedback method of claim 6, wherein the detection result comprises quantity of touch points, sliding speed or speed of repeated clicks of the user corresponding to the touch control display device.

9. The touch control feedback method of claim 6, further comprising generating a plurality of vibrations, and adjusting a plurality of vibration characteristics of the plurality of vibrations according to the detection result.

10. A touch control display device, comprising:

a touch control screen, for displaying a screen and receiving touch control commands from a user; and

a touch control feedback device, for providing feedback to touch statuses of the user corresponding to the touch control display device, comprising;

at least one vibrator, for generating vibration;

a detection unit, for detecting the touch statuses of the user corresponding to the touch control display device, to generate a detection result; and

a control unit, coupled between the detection unit and the at least one vibrator, for adjusting vibration characteristics of the at least one vibrator according to the detection result.

11. The touch control display device of claim 10, wherein the vibration characteristics of the at least one vibrator are selected from vibration intensity, vibration speed and vibration duration.

12. The touch control display device of claim 10, wherein the detection result generated by the detection unit comprises quantity of touch points, sliding speed or speed of repeated clicks of the user corresponding to the touch control screen.

13. The touch control display device of claim 10, wherein when a quantity of the at least one vibrator is greater than one, the control unit further adjusts a quantity of vibrators generating vibrations within the at least one vibrator according to the detection result.

14. The touch control display device of claim 10, further comprising a power supply module, for providing power to the at least one vibrator, wherein the control unit adjusts the vibration characteristics of the at least one vibrator via the power supply module.
