Abstract: A method for detecting locations of objects in a plane, including emit light beams, one at a time, at locations along a first edge of a detection area, refract each light beam into multiple divergent light beams, direct each of the divergent beams to arrive at a respective pair of focusing lenses mounted along a second edge of the detection area, opposite the first edge, wherein an intensity profile of each divergent beam has maximum intensity along the center of the beam, for each of the focusing lenses, measure an intensity profile of that portion of the divergent beam that enters the focusing lens, for each pair of focusing lenses receiving a single divergent beam, compare the measured intensity profiles for light arriving at each lens, and determine a location of an object that partially blocks at least one of the divergent beams, based on the compares.

Abstract: A method for identifying a proximal object, including providing light emitters, light detectors and lenses, mounted in a housing, each lens, denoted L, being positioned in relation to a respective one of the detectors, denoted D, such that light entering lens L is maximally detected at detector D when the light enters lens L at an angle of incidence θ, activating the detectors synchronously with activation of each emitter to measure reflections of the light beams emitted by each emitter, and calculating a location of a reflective object along a path of a light beam projected by an activated emitter, by calculating an axis of symmetry with respect to which the outputs of the synchronously activated detectors are approximately symmetric, orienting the calculated axis of symmetry by the angle θ, and locating a point of intersection of the path of the emitted light beam with the oriented axis of symmetry.

Abstract: A computer readable medium storing instructions which cause a processor to generate data structures for an object moving along the perimeter of a curved touch-sensitive user input device, each data structure corresponding to a gesture and including a time stamp, polar angles at which the object starts and ends, a middle polar angle of the object, and an assigned state being one of the group RECOGNIZED, UPDATED and ENDED, wherein the instructions cause the processor to assign the RECOGNIZED state to the data structure when the moving object is initially detected on the perimeter of the device, to assign the UPDATED state to the data structure when the moving object is further detected on the perimeter of the device after the initial detection, and to assign the ENDED state to the data structure when the moving object ceases to be detected on the perimeter of the device.
