    摘要: The present invention relates to a feedback device and a method of providing thermal feedback using the same. A method for calibration of an intensity of a thermal feedback of a feedback device may comprise: outputting the thermal feedback in order from a weak intensity to a strong intensity among a plurality of intensities of the thermal feedback; obtaining a first user input; setting an intensity of the thermal feedback outputted at the time of the obtaining the first user input to a lowest intensity of the thermal feedback; obtaining a second user input; setting an intensity of the thermal feedback outputted at the time of the obtaining the second user input to a highest intensity of the thermal feedback; setting at least one intermediate intensity; and outputting the thermal feedback by using the lowest intensity, the highest intensity and the at least one intermediate intensity.

    摘要: Provided is a feedback device providing thermal feedback. The feedback device, according to one embodiment, may comprise a casing, a heat output module, and a feedback controller. The casing comprises: a contact part, with which a user makes contact when the feedback device moves when a content is being played; and a noncontact part with which the user does not make contact even though the feedback device moves. The heat output module comprises: flexible first and second substrates; a thermoelectric element interposed between the first the second substrates and performing a thermoelectric operation for thermal feedback; and a contact surface disposed on the second substrate. The heat output module is disposed on the curve-shaped inside or outside of the contact part, and outputs thermal feedback to the user via the second substrate and the contact surface. The feedback controller is configured so as to control the thermal output module.

    摘要: Provided is a feedback device providing thermal feedback. The feedback device, according to one embodiment, may comprise a casing, a heat output module, and a feedback controller. The casing comprises: a grip part that is a region gripped by a user to use the feedback device when a content is reproduced; and a non-grip part that is a region not gripped by the user. The heat output module comprises: a thermoelectric element performing a thermoelectric operation for thermal feedback. The heat output module is disposed on the curve-shaped inside or outside of the grip part, and outputs thermal feedback to the user. The feedback controller is configured so as to control the thermal output module.
