    Abstract: A smart device having ability for rejecting mistaken touching is illustrated, which comprises a capacitive button module which comprises a contacting layer, a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer and an elastic layer. A first electrode of the first electrode layer and a second electrode of the second electrode layer form a first inductive capacitor, and the second electrode and a third electrode of the second electrode layer form a second inductive capacitor. When the elastic layer receives a pressure and generates a deformation, a pressing signal is generated according to a capacitance variation of the first inductive capacitor. When a conductor is close to or in contact with the contacting layer, a moving signal is generated according to a capacitance variation of the second inductive capacitor.

    Abstract: There is provided a touch force sensor including a first drive electrode, a second drive electrode and a receiving electrode. The first drive electrode is used to form a first capacitance with the receiving electrode. The second drive electrode is used to form a second capacitance with the receiving electrode. The receiving electrode shields the first drive electrode such that when a conductor approaches the receiving electrode, only the second capacitance is changed but the first capacitance is not changed. The first capacitance is changed only when the conductor gives a force upon the receiving electrode.
