Electronic component, electronic module, manufacturing method therefor, and electronic apparatus

Dual chips exchange a signal indicating a pressing load detected for providing the tactile sensation such that application process based on the pressing load is performed. A tactile sensation providing apparatus according to the present invention includes a touch sensor, a load detection unit configured to detect the pressing load on the touch sensor for providing the tactile sensation, a tactile sensation providing unit configured to vibrate a touch face of the touch sensor, a tactile sensation provision control unit configured to control drive of the tactile sensation providing unit, and a main control unit configured to control an application. The tactile sensation provision control unit transmits the pressing load to the main control unit. The main control unit, based on an output of the touch sensor and the pressing load received from the tactile sensation provision control unit, performs the application process.

Tactile sensation providing apparatus and control method for tactile sensation providing apparatus

A method of manufacturing an optical apparatus is provided. The method includes arranging a photo device above a substrate with an adhesive located between the photo device and the substrate, forming a bonding member that bonds the substrate and the photo device by curing the adhesive, and arranging, above the photo device, a transparent plate and a sealing member. The sealing member covers the photo device and is located between the transparent plate and the substrate. An elastic modulus of the bonding member is 1 GPa or less.

Method of manufacturing optical apparatus

An electronic device includes a tactile sensation providing unitconfigured to provide a tactile sensation to a contact object being in contact with a paneland a controllerconfigured to control the tactile sensation providing unitbased on an amount of change of data based on press to the panel

Electronic device and control method of electronic device

A storage battery device is provided with a transmitter which, in cases when a power supply of the storage battery device is turned on, repeatedly transmits, for a prescribed time period, a classification message including the classification of the storage battery device.

Management system, management method and equipment

The electronic device includes a control unitconfigured to set in stages a plurality of thresholds which relate to the data based on press and cause a predetermined processing to be executed. The control unitsets the thresholds such that, as the data based on press increases, the difference between thresholds gradually decreases.

Electronic device

A tactile sensation providing apparatus includes a touch sensor, a tactile sensation providing unitconfigured to vibrate a touch face of the touch sensor, a tactile sensation provision control unitconfigured to control drive of the tactile sensation providing unit, and a main control unitconfigured to control an operation of the tactile sensation provision control unitbased on an output of the touch sensor. The main control unitdetermines whether an object is touching a predetermined area of the touch face based on the output of the touch sensor, and starts the operation of the tactile sensation provision control unitwhen determining that the object is touching the predetermined area, or stops the operation of the tactile sensation provision control unitwhen determining that the object is not touching the predetermined area.

An electronic device includes a tactile sensation providing unit configured to provide a tactile sensation to a contact object being in contact with a panel and a controller configured to control the tactile sensation providing unit on the basis of data based on press to the panel, in which the controller determines, after the tactile sensation providing unit provides a tactile sensation, a press pattern on the basis of the data based on press to the panel.

Method of manufacturing the optical apparatus

An electronic device includes a tactile sensation providing unitconfigured to provide a tactile sensation to a contact object being in contact with a paneland a controllerconfigured to control the tactile sensation providing uniton the basis of data based on press to the paneland data threshold corresponding to the data. After the tactile sensation providing unitprovides a tactile sensation, the controllerchanges the data threshold in response to the data based on press to the panel

A tactile sensation is provided without exchanging a signal indicating a pressing load between a dual chip. A tactile sensation providing apparatus includes a touch sensor, a load detection unit for detecting a pressing load on the sensor, a tactile sensation providing unit for vibrating a face of the sensor, a tactile sensation provision control unit for controlling drive of the providing unit, and a main control unit for controlling an operation of the provision control unit based on an output of the sensor. The main control unit determines whether a predetermined area of the touch face is touched based on the output of the sensor and, when the area is touched, transmits a tactile sensation control instruction to the provision control unit. The provision control unit, upon receiving the instruction from the main control unit, controls drive of the providing unit based on the instruction and the pressing load.

An electronic device () prevents unintended operations when a contact position shifts, by having a display unit () that displays an object, a contact detection unit () that detects contact by a contacting body, a pressure detection unit () that detects pressure on the detection unit (), and a control unit () that performs processing associated with the object displayed on the display unit () in accordance with a contact position of the contacting body in a region of the detection unit () corresponding to an receiving region of the object and with data based on pressure on the detection unit () acquired from the pressure detection unit (), such that when the contact position of the contacting body changes as the data based on pressure increases, the control unit () changes the receiving region of the object in a direction of change of the contact position.

Electronic device having changeable touch receiving region

Dual chips exchange a signal indicating a pressing load detected for providing the tactile sensation such that application processing based on the load is performed. A tactile sensation providing apparatus includes a touch sensor, a load detection unit for detecting the load on the sensor for providing the tactile sensation, a tactile sensation providing unit for vibrating a touch face of the sensor, a tactile sensation provision control unit for controlling drive of the providing unit, and a main control unit for controlling performing an operation corresponding to the load. The main control unit transmits, to the provision control unit, a load detection instruction in activation of the application and a load stop instruction in closing the application.
