- FIGS. 3(A)-(D) and 4(A)-(B) are diagrams for explaining the screen transitions of the sensory transmission screen G2 displayed on the touch panel 12.
- the sensory transmission screen G2 is a screen for transmitting to the user the sensation felt when the object is applied to the skin surface.

- the object information G20 includes an image of the object's packaging, the product name, etc.
- the object image G21 shows the object selected on the object selection screen G1. Since the object is a liquid, it is illustrated as a circle to show a droplet of the object that has been dripped onto the skin surface, as shown in FIG. 3(A).
- the object image G21 is an example of a second image.
- the image G22 of fingers moves along a predetermined direction D in response to a user's operation.

- the moving object G23 is a scroll bar, and is arranged at approximately the same position as the fingers in the moving direction D.
- the user can move the moving object G23 along the direction D so as to follow the swipe operation by displacing the contact point with the touch panel 12 while touching the touch panel 12.
- the image G22 of the fingers moves along the direction D so as to follow the moving object G23.
- the swipe operation is an example of a moving operation.
- the image G22 of the fingers follows the moving object G23 with a delay, but it may follow the moving object G23 without delay.
- FIG. 3(B) is a diagram showing an example of a sensory transmission screen G2 in a state in which a swipe operation is accepted in the state shown in FIG. 3(A) and the moving object G23 is moving in a direction D1.
- the image G22 of the fingers moves so as to follow the moving object G23 with a delay. Therefore, when the moving object G23 is moving, the position of the moving object G23 in the direction D differs from the position of the fingers.
- the position of the fingers is separated by a distance L1 in the direction D2 opposite to the direction D1 from the position of the moving object G23, showing that the image G22 of the fingers follows the moving object G23 with a delay.
- FIG. 3(C) shows the sensory transmission screen G2 in a state where the image G22 of the fingers has moved further from the state shown in FIG. 3(B) so that the image G22 of the fingers and the image G21 of the object overlap.
- a liquid object comes into contact with the fingers, it deforms so as to spread in a direction along the surface of the fingers depending on the viscosity and surface tension of the object. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3(C), when at least a portion of the image G22 of the fingers and the image G21 of the object overlap and the object comes into contact with the fingers, the image G21 of the object deforms so as to spread in a direction along the surface of the fingers.
- the direction along the surface of the fingers is perpendicular to the movement direction D.

- an image G24 of the coating film of the object is displayed in the opposite direction D2 to the direction D1 in which the fingers are moving relative to the image G22 of the fingers.
- the image G21 of the object located on the side of the finger movement direction D1 has become smaller relative to the image G22 of the fingers.
- the image G24 of the coating film is an example of a third image.
- FIG. 4(A) is a diagram showing an example of the sensory transmission screen G2 after some time has passed since the state shown in FIG. 3(D).
- the painted object evaporates. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4(A), the opacity of the coating film image G24 decreases over time. Moreover, the coating film image G24 becomes completely transparent as more time passes. In other words, the coating film image G24 is erased after a predetermined time has passed.
- the example shown in FIG. 4(A) shows that the opacity of the coating film image G24 has decreased compared to FIG. 3(D). Moreover, in the example shown in FIG. 4(A), the opacity increases in the direction D1 in which the finger is moving. In other words, since the opacity decreases over time, the further the area displayed ahead of the coating film image G24 is, the less opaque it becomes.
- FIG. 4(B) is a diagram showing an example of a sensory transmission screen G2 in a state in which a swipe operation has been accepted in the state shown in FIG. 4(A) and the moving object G23 is moving in the direction D2.
- an image G24 of the coating film on the object is displayed in the opposite direction D1 to the direction D2 in which the fingers are moving relative to the image G22 of the fingers.
- the image G21 of the object located on the side of the finger movement direction D2 has become even smaller relative to the image G22 of the fingers.
- Some objects change their feel while being applied. For example, some objects change from a fresh feel to a thick feel while being applied.
- the feel of the object is expressed by the time that the image G22 of the fingers lags behind the moving object G23. The longer the delay between the image G22 of the fingers and the moving object G23, the more the user will get the impression that the object is thick, sticky, sticky, heavy, etc. Furthermore, the shorter the delay between the image G22 of the fingers and the moving object G23, the more the user will get the impression that the object is fresh, smooth, silky, silky, silky, light, etc.
- FIG. 4(B) shows that the position of the fingers is a distance L2 away from the position of the moving object G23 in the direction D1 opposite to the direction D2.
- Distance L2 is longer than distance L1 shown in FIG. 3(B). Therefore, FIG. 4(B) shows that the time that the image G22 of the fingers lags behind the moving object G23 while the object is being applied has increased. In other words, FIG. 4(B) shows that the object has changed from a fresh feel to a sticky feel.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the object table T1 stored in the storage unit 11.
- the object table T1 stores parameters related to the display mode of the sensory transmission screen G2 for each of a plurality of objects.
- the object table T1 stores parameters related to the droplets on the object, parameters related to the coating film on the object, and tracking parameters related to the tracking ability of the finger.
- the parameters related to the droplets include parameters related to the amount of deformation, the speed of shrinkage, and the initial size of the droplets.
- the parameter related to the amount of deformation indicates the degree of deformation of the droplets when the fingers come into contact with the object, i.e., when the image G22 of the fingers and the image G21 of the object overlap. The larger the parameter, the more the droplets deform, and the smaller the parameter, the smaller the droplets deform.
- the parameter related to the speed of shrinkage indicates how quickly the droplets located on the side of the finger image G22 in the direction of finger movement shrink after the fingers come into contact with the object, i.e., after the image G22 of the fingers and the image G21 of the object overlap.
- the parameter related to the initial size indicates the size of the droplets when the sensory transmission screen G2 is first displayed. The larger the parameter, the larger the size of the droplets, and the smaller the parameter, the smaller the size of the droplets.
- the droplet parameters are set in advance according to the properties of the target object. For example, the parameters for the deformation amount and shrinkage speed are set according to the viscosity and surface tension of the target object. The parameters for the initial size are set according to the amount of the target object.
- the parameters related to the coating film include parameters related to the darkness, thickness, and volatility resistance of the coating film.
- the parameter related to darkness indicates the magnitude of difference between the color of the coating film and the background color. The larger the parameter, the greater the difference between the color of the coating film and the background color, and the smaller the parameter, the smaller the difference between the color of the coating film and the background color.
- the parameter related to thickness indicates the width of the image G24 of the coating film in the direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the finger. The larger the parameter, the greater the width, and the smaller the parameter, the smaller the width.
- the parameter related to volatility resistance indicates the period from when the image G24 of the coating film is displayed to when it is erased. The larger the parameter, the longer the period until the coating film is erased, and the smaller the parameter, the shorter the period until the coating film is erased.
- the parameter related to volatility resistance is an example of a volatility parameter.
- Parameters related to the coating film are set in advance according to the properties of the object. For example, parameters related to the thickness are set according to the color and transparency of the object. Parameters related to the thickness are set according to the viscosity and amount of the object. Parameters related to the volatility resistance are set according to the volatility of the object.
- the tracking parameter indicates the amount of delay between the image G22 of the fingers and the moving object G23.
- the larger the tracking parameter the higher the tracking ability and therefore the smaller the delay, and the smaller the tracking parameter, the lower the tracking ability and therefore the greater the delay.
- the larger the tracking parameter the smaller the difference between the moving speed of the image G22 of the fingers and the moving speed of the moving object G23, and the smaller the parameter, the greater the difference between the moving speed of the image of the fingers and the moving object.
- the tracking parameter is set according to the viscosity, surface tension, etc. of the object.
- the display terminal 1 can transmit the texture of the object not only visually but also through touch by displaying the sensory transmission screen G2.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the ratio Fy/Fz between the force Fy in the swipe direction applied to the user's finger from the surface of the touch panel 12 when the user performs a swipe operation and the normal force Fz.
- the horizontal axis of the graph shows the value of the tracking parameter.
- the ratio Fy/Fz was large when the tracking parameter was 50 or 100, and the ratio Fy/Fz was small when the tracking parameter was 20 or 10. In other words, it was confirmed that the higher the tracking ability of the image G22 of the finger, the smaller the normal force Fz, and the smaller the friction force felt by the user.
- the p-value between the tracking parameter and the ratio Fy/Fz of the data shown in FIG. 6 was less than 0.05, confirming that there is a significant correlation between the two.
- the tracking parameters are set according to factors such as the frictional force that the user's fingers receiving from the touch panel when swiping, and help convey the tactile sensation of the object.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of update table T2 stored in storage unit 11.
- Update table T2 stores, for each of a number of objects, information regarding changes in the feel of the object while the object is being applied.
- update table T2 stores parameter update conditions and update contents.
- the parameter update conditions are information indicating the conditions for updating the parameters stored in the object table T1.
- the update conditions are, for example, the time since the movement of the image G22 of the fingers started, or conditions related to the movement history of the image G22 of the fingers.
- FIG. 7 shows that for cosmetic A, the parameters related to volatilization resistance and the tracking parameters are updated when 10 seconds have passed since the image of the fingers started to move.
- cosmetic B it is shown that the parameters are updated when the image G22 of the fingers makes one round trip.
- One round trip of the image of the fingers means that the image of the fingers starts moving, stops, starts moving in the opposite direction, and stops again.
- the condition related to the movement history may be a condition related to the distance moved since the image G22 of the fingers started to move.
- the update conditions and update contents of the parameters are set in advance based on the change in the feel of the object while it is being applied. For example, the update contents of an object that changes from a thick feel to a fresh feel while it is being applied are set so that the tracking parameter is updated from a small value to a large value, and the parameter related to volatility resistance is updated from a large value to a small value. Note that for objects whose feel does not change while they are being applied, the update conditions and update contents are not set, and the parameters do not need to be updated.
- FIG. 8 is a flow diagram showing an example of the flow of the sensory transmission process executed by the processing unit 13.
- the sensory transmission process is a process for transmitting to the user, via an image, the sensation felt when a target substance is applied to the skin surface.
- the sensory transmission process is executed in response to receipt of an operation to launch a specific application program.
- the sensory transmission process is realized by the processing unit 13 working in cooperation with other components of the display terminal 1 based on a program stored in the memory unit 11.
- the selection unit 131 selects an object that transmits a sensation when applied to the skin surface in response to a user operation (step S101). For example, the selection unit 131 causes the touch panel 12 to display the object selection screen G1 by supplying display data for the object selection screen to the display device of the touch panel 12. The selection unit 131 selects the object indicated by the selection object G11 when the decision object G12 is selected as the object that transmits a sensation when applied to the skin surface.
- the acquisition unit 132 acquires parameters related to the selected object (step S102).
- the acquisition unit 132 acquires droplet parameters, coating film parameters, and tracking parameters associated with the selected object in the object table T1.
- the display control unit 133 displays the sensory transmission screen G2 on the touch panel 12 (step S103).
- the display control unit 133 displays the sensory transmission screen G2 by supplying display data for the sensory transmission screen G2 to the display device of the touch panel 12.
- the display control unit 133 determines whether the screen update time has arrived (step S104).
- the screen update time is the time when the sensory transmission screen G2 is displayed or a predetermined time after the immediately preceding screen update time.
- the predetermined time is the frame update interval of the display device of the touch panel 12, and is, for example, 1/60 seconds.
- step S104-No If the screen update time has not arrived (step S104-No), the sensory transmission process returns to step S104. In other words, the display control unit 133 waits until the screen update time arrives.
- step S105 the display control unit 133 executes a screen update process.
- the screen update process is a process for updating the sensory transmission screen G2. The details of the screen update process will be described later.
- the update unit 134 determines whether the update condition is satisfied (step S106).
- the update unit 134 acquires the update condition associated with the object displayed on the sensory transmission screen G2 in the update table T2.
- the update unit 134 determines whether the acquired update condition is satisfied.
- step S106-Yes the update unit 134 updates the parameters acquired in step S102 (step S107).
- the update unit 134 refers to the update table T2 and updates the parameters as indicated by the update content associated with the satisfied update condition.
- step S108 the display control unit 133 determines whether or not the termination condition is satisfied (step S108).
- the termination condition is, for example, that an operation to terminate a specific application program has been performed, or that a swipe operation has not been accepted continuously for a specific period of time or more.
- step S108-No If the termination condition is not met (step S108-No), the sensory transmission process returns to step S104, and the display control unit 133 waits until the next screen update time arrives.
- step S108-Yes If the termination condition is met (step S108-Yes), the sensory transmission process ends.
- FIG. 9 is a flow diagram showing an example of the flow of the screen update process.
- the screen update process is executed in step S105 of the sensory transmission process.
- the reception unit 135 receives a swipe operation on the touch panel 12 (step S201).
- the reception unit 135 determines whether or not a swipe operation has been performed based on an operation signal supplied from an operation device of the touch panel 12. For example, the reception unit 135 determines whether or not a contact is continuously detected based on the operation signal. If a contact is continuously detected, the reception unit 135 acquires the amount of displacement of the most recently detected contact along the movement direction D relative to the contact detected immediately before that. The reception unit 135 determines that a swipe operation has been performed if the magnitude of the acquired amount of displacement is equal to or greater than a threshold value.
- the display control unit 133 sets the movement speed of the moving object G23 (step S202). For example, the display control unit 133 sets the value obtained by dividing the amount of displacement acquired in step S201 by the screen update interval as the movement speed of the moving object G23.
- the display control unit 133 sets the moving speed of the image G22 of the fingers (step S203).
- the display control unit 133 sets the moving speed of the image G22 of the fingers based on the positions and the following parameters of the nearest moving object G23 and the image G22 of the fingers. For example, the display control unit 133 sets the moving speed vf of the image G22 of the fingers so as to follow the moving object G23 with a delay.
- the moving speed vf is set according to the following formula.
- vobj is the movement speed of the nearest moving object G23
- k is the tracking parameter
- xf(n) is the position of the nearest finger image G22
- xobj(n) is the position of the nearest moving object G22
- ⁇ t is the interval between screen update times.
- the display control unit 133 determines whether the image G22 of the fingers and the image G21 of the object are already overlapping (step S204). For example, when a contact flag described below is set, the display control unit 133 determines that the image G22 of the fingers and the image G21 of the object are already overlapping.
- the display control unit 133 If the image G22 of the finger and the image G21 of the object already overlap (step S204-Yes), the display control unit 133 generates an image G24 of the coating film (step S205).
- the display control unit 133 identifies an area that is included in the closest image G22 of the finger and is not included in the image G22 of the finger after the screen update as an area in which the image G24 of the coating film is to be displayed.
- the display control unit 133 generates an image G24 of the coating film of a width specified by a parameter related to the thickness of the coating film in the identified area.
- the display control unit 133 reduces the image G21 of the object (step S206). For example, the display control unit 133 reduces the image of the object located on the side of the image G22 of the finger in the direction of movement of the image G22 of the finger by a ratio based on a parameter related to the reduction speed of the droplet.
- step S207 the display control unit 133 determines whether the image G22 of the fingers and the image G21 of the object overlap for the first time as a result of the currently executed screen update process.
- the display control unit 133 determines whether there is an overlap between the area of the image G21 of the object and the area of the image G22 of the fingers after the screen update, based on the positions of the image G21 of the object and the image G22 of the fingers after the screen update, and the shapes of the image G21 of the object and the image G22 of the fingers. If there is an overlap, the display control unit 133 determines that the image G22 of the fingers and the image G21 of the object overlap for the first time as a result of the currently executed screen update process.
- the display control unit 133 deforms the image G21 of the object (step S208).
