The vibration information is transmitted and fed back to the user through touch.

In this embodiment, the specific manner in which the vibration unit generates the corresponding vibration according to the touch position may be as follows: according to the distance from the vibration unit, it is divided into multiple areas, and each area corresponds to different preset working parameters one-to-one. In the corresponding area, the vibration unit works according to the preset working parameters, and drives the touch screen to generate vibration corresponding to the amplitude and/or vibration frequency.

In this embodiment, the specific manner in which the vibration unit generates corresponding vibration according to the touch position may also be as follows: the user touches the touch screen, detects the distance between the position where the user touches the touch screen and the vibration unit, and determines the distance according to the detected value. The corresponding preset working parameters are called, so that the vibration unit works according to the called preset working parameters, and the touch screen is driven to generate vibrations with corresponding amplitudes and/or vibration frequencies.
