Control unit for vibrator of haptic device and haptic device

Abstract

A control unit controls a vibrator of a haptic device. The control unit includes a CPU as an execution unit and a storage. The storage stores correlation data created by correlating multiple vibration modes and specifying information to each other. The vibration modes are used for presenting a tactile/force sense in accordance with a rehabilitation pattern. The specifying information is used for specifying a rehabilitation pattern. The CPU executes obtaining processing, mode selection processing, and driving processing. In the obtaining processing, based on the correlation data, the CPU selects a vibration mode in accordance with specifying information obtained in the obtaining processing. In the mode selection processing, based on the correlation data, the CPU selects a vibration mode in accordance with specifying information obtained in the obtaining processing. In the driving processing, the CPU drives the vibrator by using the vibration mode selected in the mode selection processing.
