Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de génération d'information de commande de sensation tactile qui réalise une opération d'interface utilisateur graphique qui est intuitive et facile à utiliser sur un écran tactile. Une unité de traitement d'entrée acquiert une information d'entrée provenant d'un affichage d'écran tactile, notifie l'information d'entrée acquise à une unité de traitement de dessin, et instruit également l'unité de traitement de dessin de dessiner un élément d'interface utilisateur graphique. Une unité d'extraction de cible d'opération détermine l'élément d'interface utilisateur graphique tactile qui est la cible d'opération de l'utilisateur, ladite détermination étant réalisée à partir de l'information d'entrée acquise par l'unité de traitement d'entrée et des valeurs d'attributs de l'élément d'interface utilisateur graphique qui sont gérés par une unité de gestion d'attributs d'interface utilisateur graphique. Une unité de génération d'information de commande acquiert à partir de l'unité de gestion d'attributs les valeurs d'attributs de l'élément d'interface utilisateur graphique déterminé comme étant la cible d'opération par l'unité d'extraction de cible d'opération. L'unité de génération d'information de commande génère ensuite, à partir des valeurs d'attributs d'élément d'interface utilisateur graphique et de l'information d'entrée acquise par l'unité d'acquisition d'entrée, une information de commande qui instruit un dispositif de reproduction de sensation tactile pour la reproduction d'une sensation tactile dans la partie du corps de l'utilisateur qui commande l'affichage d'écran tactile, lorsque ladite partie du corps de l'utilisateur touche l'élément d'interface utilisateur graphique affiché sur l'écran tactile.
