Abstract
A method for providing tactile stimulation is applied in an electronic device. The electronic device includes a touch-sensitive screen and a tactile stimulation multilayer connected to the touch-sensitive screen. The method includes the following steps: detecting whether a touch operation is a long press operation according to touch signals from the touch-sensitive screen; obtaining position information of touched positions if the touch operation is a long press operation; determining a number of continuous electrodes corresponding to the touched positions of the long press operation according to a first relationship between the positions and the electrodes; and energizing the continuous electrodes via a power supply unit by gradually changing electrical parameters.
