Haptic information presentation system and method
First Claim
1. A haptic electronic device comprising:
- a sensor that detects at least one physical quantity of a finger of an operator, a palm of the operator, a hand of the operator, a leg of the operator, a head of the operator, a body of the operator, an operation device, and a man-machine interface;
a haptic information presentation device that presents haptic information generated in association with the at least one physical quantity detected by the sensor; and
a control device that controls the haptic information presentation device based on a haptic sensory characteristic of the operator, wherein the haptic sensory characteristic comprises a nonlinear characteristic, andwherein the haptic sensory characteristic comprises a physical quantity provided to the operator by one or two ways out of being given to the operator and being brought by motion of the operator, and a sensory quantity to be presented to the operator,the haptic sensory characteristic representing a relationship between said physical quantity to be applied to said operator and said sensory quantity to be perceived by the operator.

Abstract
A system and method are disclosed in which in a conventional non-grounding man-machine interface having no reaction base on the human body and for giving the existence of a virtual object and the impact force of a collision to a person, a haptic sensation of a torque, a force and the like can be continuously presented in the same direction, which can not be presented by only the physical characteristic of a haptic sensation presentation device. In a haptic presentation device, the rotation velocity of at least one rotator in the haptic presentation device is controlled by a control device, and a vibration, a force or a torque as the physical characteristic is controlled, so that the user is made to conceive various haptic information of the vibration, force, torque or the like.
