1. An electronic device comprising:

  • a touch-sensitive screen;

    a tactile stimulation multilayer connected to the touch-sensitive screen, the tactile stimulation multilayer comprising a plurality of electrodes;

    a storage unit storing a plurality of modules and a first relationship between positions of the touch-sensitive screen and the electrodes, each position corresponding to one of the electrodes; and

    a processor to execute a plurality of modules, and the plurality of modules comprising;

    a detecting module to detect detects at least one touch point according to touch signals from the touch-sensitive screen;

    a touch determining module to determine position information of each touch point and an occurrence time of touching each touch point;

    an analyzing module to extract a plurality of successively detected touch points and determine whether a slide operation is exerted on the touch-sensitive screen according to the position information of each extracted touch point;

    a calculating module to calculate an anticipated trajectory of the slide operation according to the position information and occurrence time of each extracted touch point if a slide operation is exerted on the touch-sensitive screen; and

    a control module to determine a plurality of electrodes each corresponding to the position information of one touch point according to the relationship between the positions and the electrodes and energize the determined electrodes; and

    determine a plurality of electrodes each corresponding to position information of one touch point forming the anticipated trajectory according to the relationship between the positions and the electrodes and energize the determined electrodes.
