    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: Delivering a haptic feedback using a capacitance module may include obtaining a location of user input using a capacitive sensor in the capacitance module, determining when to activate a first haptic motor in the capacitance module based on the location of the user input, determining when the activate a second haptic motor in the capacitance module based on the location of the user input, generating a first haptic signal with the first haptic motor at the first determined time, and generating a second haptic signal with the second haptic motor at the second determined time, where the haptic feedback includes the first haptic signal and the second haptic signal.
