Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a vibration includes a vibration transfer unit; at least one pair of oscillators disposed spaced apart from each other in the vibration transfer unit, and configured to generate a vibration in the vibration transfer unit; at least one driver configured to selectively drive the at least one pair of oscillators; and a controller configured to control the at least one driver and thereby move a center of the vibration within the vibration transfer unit so as to create a moving vibration sensation.

An apparatus for controlling a vibration, the apparatus comprising:
- a vibration transfer unit;
- at least one pair of oscillators disposed spaced apart from each other in the vibration transfer unit, and configured to generate a vibration in the vibration transfer unit;
- at least one driver configured to selectively drive the at least one pair of oscillators;
- and
- a controller configured to control the at least one driver and thereby move a center of the vibration within the vibration transfer unit so as to create a moving vibration sensation.
A method for controlling a vibration, the method comprising:
- generating a vibration in a vibration transfer unit via at least one pair of oscillators disposed spaced apart from each other in the vibration transfer unit;
- and
- moving a center of the vibration within the vibration transfer unit so as to create a moving vibration sensation.
A mobile device, comprising:
- a user input unit configured to receive data from a user;
- a display module configured to display information;
- and
- a vibration pattern generation apparatus configured to control a vibration;
- wherein the vibration pattern generation apparatus comprises:
- a vibration transfer unit;
- at least one pair of oscillators disposed spaced apart from each other in the vibration transfer unit, and configured to generate a vibration in the vibration transfer unit;
- at least one driver configured to selectively drive the at least one pair of oscillators;
- and
- a controller configured to control the at least one driver and thereby move a center of the vibration within the vibration transfer unit so as to create a moving vibration sensation.
