よりも次のようなメリットが考えられる。The vibration motor used for the vibration notification is not limited to the ultrasonic vibration motor, but may be an electromagnetic motor. With the above operation, the electronic device realizes the vibration notification using the intermittent drive of the vibration motor as the notification means. Next, the relationship between the intermittent vibration pattern and the stimulation level that the contact portion between the electronic device and the human body receives from the vibration when the vibration motor vibrates is shown. FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the vibration pattern and the stimulation level when the vibration motor is continuously driven, and FIG. 4 shows the ON time: OF.
It is the relationship between the vibration pattern and the stimulation level when the vibration motor is intermittently driven at F time = 2: 1. Intermittently driving the vibration motor has the following advantages over continuous rotation.
【００１８】第一に、モータ駆動波形がパルス的であっ

タを駆動させた場合には、断続的にモータの回転数が変
化し、断続的に強い刺激を受けるため、接触部が受ける
刺激レベルは連続的に受ける刺激よりむしろ高いレベル
で維持することができる。First, even if the motor drive waveform is pulse-like, the stimulus level received by the contact portion due to vibration is not instantaneously attenuated, and the stimulus is retained as an afterimage for a while. Therefore, even when the motor is intermittently oscillated, a continuous stimulus level similar to the case where the motor is continuously driven is approximately obtained. Further, when the motor is continuously driven, the contact portion continuously receives vibration of a constant rotation speed, and thus gradually gets used to the vibration stimulus, and the stimulus level received by the contact portion gradually attenuates. . On the other hand, when the motor is driven intermittently, the number of rotations of the motor changes intermittently and a strong stimulus is received intermittently, so the stimulus level received at the contact part is higher than the continuous stimulus. Can be maintained at.

ることがわかる。Secondly, intermittently driving the motor consumes less energy than continuously driving the motor, and a motor with a limited energy supply amount such as a battery is used as a voltage for driving the motor. When used as a power source, it has a great effect on extending the life of the voltage source. Also, when driving the motor, a high current of several tens mA flows between the power supplies,
When the motor is driven continuously, the load applied to the voltage source becomes very large. Therefore, driving the motor intermittently has a great effect on reducing the load applied to the voltage source. As described above, it can be seen that the intermittent driving of the vibration motor has a great effect on the maintenance of the stimulation level due to the vibration and the reduction of the energy consumption in the motor driving.

ができる。By being able to vary the ON / OFF duty ratio of the drive, the following merits are obtained. Primarily,
The strength of the stimulus can be defined by the size of the shaded area in FIGS. 6 and 7. When the intermittent driving cycle of driving is constant, the higher the ratio of ON time in ON / OFF duty of driving, the greater the intensity of stimulation. That is, the strength of vibration can be adjusted by changing the ON / OFF duty of the drive. The strength of the stimulus does not have to be large, and the way the stimulus is sensed by vibration varies depending on the person and the carrying state of the electronic device. Strong irritation may be uncomfortable for some people. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the drive O
Prepare a plurality of vibrations with different N / OFF duty ratios in advance, and depending on the time and case, turn on the drive that is suitable for you.
A more comfortable vibration can be obtained by allowing the user to select the / OFF duty ratio, that is, the strength of the vibration.

力化に効果を得られる。Secondly, the fact that the ON / OFF duty ratio of drive can be changed means that the drive ON time can be changed. In terms of energy consumption when driving the motor, the longer the drive ON time, the greater the energy consumption when driving the motor. Driving the motor with the shortest drive ON time consumes less energy. Lead to However, if the drive ON time is short, there is a risk that the stimulus is too weak to be felt depending on the time and the case. Therefore, the drive is normally turned on, which is suitable for carrying around.
The ON / OFF duty ratio is set in advance, and when the vibration is hard to sense, the user can select the ON / OFF duty ratio of the drive, that is, the strength of the vibration, which is suitable for the user accordingly. As a result, the user can obtain a vibration more suitable for the portable environment, and at the same time, it is effective in reducing the power consumption. As described above, by making it possible to vary the ON / OFF duty ratio of the vibration motor drive, the user can obtain a more comfortable notification vibration without being influenced by the portable environment, and the consumption of electronic equipment can be reduced. The effect can be obtained in electricity conversion.

得ることができる。First, the strength of stimulation is as shown in FIGS.
It can be defined by the size of the shaded area at 0. When the drive ON time of the motor drive waveform is constant,
The shorter the intermittent driving cycle, the greater the strength of the stimulus within the unit time. That is, when the notification time by vibration is constant, the intensity of vibration can be adjusted by changing the intermittent drive cycle. If the intermittent driving cycle is short,
The level of stimulation is similar to continuous stimulation, but as the intermittent driving cycle becomes longer, the stimulus distribution becomes clearer and more intermittent stimulation occurs. That is, the stimulus interval can be adjusted by changing the intermittent drive cycle. The way people feel the stimulus due to vibration varies depending on the person and how the electronic device is carried. Some may find intermittent stimulation more comfortable than continuous stimulation. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, a plurality of vibration patterns having different intermittent driving cycles are prepared in advance, and the user can select the intermittent driving cycle suitable for the user at that time and in some cases, that is, the strength and interval of vibration. By doing so, more comfortable vibration can be obtained.

Therefore, depending on the number of times the motor drive pulse is output, for example, one pulse output is “1 (1)” and two outputs are “2 (2)”. You will be able to feel the transmission of your skin.

In terms of energy consumption when driving the motor, the longer the drive ON time, the greater the energy consumption when driving the motor. Driving the motor with as short a drive ON time as possible will result in lower energy consumption. Leads to. However, if the drive ON time is short, there is a risk that the stimulus is too weak to be felt depending on the time and the case. Therefore, normally, the intermittent drive cycle of the motor drive suitable for normal carrying is set, and when the vibration is hard to feel, the user accordingly responds to the intermittent drive cycle of the motor drive suitable for himself, that is, the strength of the vibration. Allows you to choose the interval. As a result, the user can obtain the vibration more suitable for the portable environment, and at the same time, the power consumption can be reduced. As described above, by making the intermittent driving cycle of the motor drive variable, the user can obtain more comfortable notification vibration regardless of the portable environment, and it is also effective in reducing the power consumption of electronic devices.
