    Abstract: In various embodiments, the present disclosure describes hand-held devices with one or more touch-sensitive areas. The hand-held devices include a housing occupying each of a first plane, a second plane, and a third plane. A first exterior surface of the housing occupies the first plane and includes a first touch-sensitive area responsive to user touch. A second exterior surface of the housing occupies the second plane and includes a second touch-sensitive area responsive to user touch. A third exterior surface of the housing occupies the third plane and includes a display screen. A user interface module causes display of a user interface on the display screen and interprets at least one of (i) user touch of the first touch-sensitive area as a command to interact with the user interface or (ii) user touch of the second touch-sensitive area as a command to interact with the user interface.

The object position detector comprises a touch sensor formed as a closed loop and having a physical constraint formed on an upper surface of the touch sensor and coextensive with the closed loop. The touch sensor is configured to sense motion of an object proximate to the closed loop. The object position detector also comprises a processor coupled to the touch sensor and is programmed to generate an action in response to the motion on the touch sensor.

    Abstract: A capacitive position sensor for detecting the position of an object relative to a resistive sensing element. The sensing element comprises a sensing path that has terminals connected along it that subdivide the sensing path into multiple sections. Each terminal is coupled to its own sensing channel, each of which generates a signal that is sensitive to the capacitance between its terminal and a system ground. The signals are fed to a processor for analysis. The processor determines over which section the object is positioned by comparing the signals from the sensing channels, and determines the position of the object within that section by comparing the signals from the terminals spanning that section. The sensing path can be formed in a closed loop, such as a circle for a scroll dial, in which the operator's finger position and movement can be uniquely determined in a straightforward manner.

    Abstract: A capacitive touch sensor of the type employing adjacent drive and sense electrodes, in which an additional sense electrode Y1 is provided as well as the conventional drive electrode Xn and sense electrode Y0. The drive and two sense electrodes are arranged on the bottom side of a dielectric panel, the top side providing—a sensing surface to be touched by a user's finger or a stylus. The additional sense electrode is positioned on the underside of the dielectric panel so that it is shielded from the drive electrode by the conventional sense electrode. As a consequence, the conventional sense electrode is much more sensitive to the proximity of the finger or stylus than the additional sense electrode which primarily registers noise. The signal collected form the additional sense electrode is then subtracted from the signal collected from the conventional sense electrode, thereby to cancel noise. Another design provides similar functionality with a capacitive touch sensor of the type employing single-ended electrodes.
