摘要: An electronic device may include a touch sensitive area located within a cover; a first side of the cover within the touch sensitive area includes a capacitance reference surface; a capacitance sensor disposed near the second side of the cover at the touch sensitive area; a selectively illuminable light source disposed near the second side of the cover; a processor; memory in communication with the processor; programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive a non-contact input from the capacitance sensor; and send an instruction to illuminate the selectively illuminable light source in response to the non-contact input where the selectively illuminable light source illuminates a feature in the capacitance reference surface where the non-contact input represents a proximity measurement that may be over one millimeter away from the cover.

摘要: A device may include a first set of electrodes, a second set of electrodes that is transverse the first set, and at least one connection between an electrode in the first set to an electrode in the second set by a high pass filter. The connected electrode(s) in the first set and the connected electrode(s) in the second set may form an antenna. The device may include a processor and memory. The memory may store programmed instructions which cause the processor, when executed, to transmit a wireless signal using the connected electrodes during a first time, and measure a capacitance signal using electrodes in the first set and electrodes in the second set during a second time.

摘要: A touch sensor may include a substrate, a drive electrode on the substrate, a sense electrode on the substrate, and a deformable snap member disposed over the drive electrode and the sense electrode. The deformable snap member may include a deflectable metal material. When the metal material flexes from a resting position, a change in capacitance between the drive electrode and the sense electrode may be detectable.
