A control device (30) includes a detection unit (303), a specifying unit (304), and a phase offset control unit (307). The detection unit (303) detects a contact position on a display (10) provided with a plurality of drive units that performs tactile presentation. The specifying unit (304) specifies, based on the contact position detected by the detection unit (303), a target phase offset, which is a phase offset being an acquisition target of a plurality of drive signals each of which drives each of the plurality of drive units (21 and 22). The phase offset control unit (307) adjusts the phase offset of the plurality of drive signals so as to obtain the target phase offset specified by the specifying unit (304).

A system for communicating information indicative of driving conditions, to a driver, using a smart ring are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a smart ring with a ring band having a plurality of surfaces including an inner surface, an outer surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface. The system further includes a processor, configured to obtain data from a communication module within the ring band, or from one or more sensors disposed within the ring band. The obtained data is representative of information indicative of one or more driving conditions to be communicated to the driver. The smart ring also includes a haptic module disposed at least partially within the ring band, and the module being configured to communicate information indicative of the one or more driving conditions.

A payment and authentication network may include a communications interface, one or more processors, and a memory. The memory may have instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to receive, using the communications interface, transaction information associated with a transaction from a merchant system and generate a fraud risk score based on the transaction information. The instructions may cause the one or more processors to determine that the fraud risk score is indicative that the transaction is likely fraudulent and transmit an alert to a user device that informs a user of the user device that the transaction is likely fraudulent prior to generating an approval decision for the transaction.
