Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A contact type tactile feedback apparatus and operational method of the contact type tactile feedback apparatus is provided. The contact type tactile feedback apparatus may enable an object to be in close contact with a power feedback portion to transfer a power sensed by a sensor, using a fixing portion, thereby enabling the object to recognize the power, intuitively.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A contact type tactile feedback apparatus, comprising: a power feedback portion to be moved in a first direction based on a sensed signal generated by a sensor; and a fixing portion to adjust a gap between the power feedback portion and the fixing portion whereby a distance between an object and the power feedback portion is adjusted due to the movement of the power feedback portion. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the power fe…
