    摘要: A method for generating at least one tactile pattern using a haptic feedback device (70) having an active space within which a user can move his finger (F) in order to feel the tactile pattern, the perception of the pattern being caused by the modulation of the mechanical excitation of the finger pad by an excitation element, the method having the steps involving: detecting (100) the position of the finger (F) in the active space; calculating (101) the speed of the finger, determining (102), for each detected position of the finger, an associated taxtel within a predefined grid of taxtels, each taxtel having an associated texture value that is dependent on the tactile pattern to be reproduced, each taxtel having its largest dimension less than or equal to 8 mm, generating (103, 104, 105), on the basis of the texture value associated with this taxtel, a control signal for controlling the excitation element, this excitation signal being dependent on the speed of the finger at least for the densest tactile patterns to be reproduced.
