Abstract: Techniques are described for determining a contact location on a touch screen panel. The techniques transmit an optical signal that includes digital bits through the touch screen, and determine for which digital bits the optical power level reduced. Based on the determined digital bits, the techniques determine the contact location on the touch screen panel.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and devices that employ a plurality of image sensors to capture a target image of a scene. As described, positioning at least one reflective or refractive surface near the plurality of image sensors enables the sensors to capture together an image of wider field of view and longer focal length than any sensor could capture individually by using the reflective or refractive surface to guide a portion of the image scene to each sensor. The different portions of the scene captured by the sensors may overlap, and may be aligned and cropped to generate the target image.
