摘要： A capacitive sensing device comprises a set of sensing elements disposed in a two-dimensional arrangement. The two-dimensional arrangement is comprised of full elements and partial elements. A plurality of the partial elements are proximate at least one edge of the two-dimensional arrangement. Additionally, a partial element of the partial elements is smaller in element area than a full element of the full elements. An edge electrode trace of the capacitive sensing device is comprised of a selectively coupled plurality of the partial elements. The selectively coupled plurality of the partial elements resides proximate a first edge of the two-dimensional arrangement.

摘要： A method for increasing user engagement with advertising, for a user consuming streamed user-selected content, includes: selecting a sequence of previously produced advertisements, beginning with a first advertisement followed by a second advertisement, for the user; generating a first challenge relating to each advertisement, the generation occurring subsequent to and independent of the production of that advertisement. At a break in streaming the selected content to a device through which the user is experiencing the user-selected content, the first advertisement is streamed to the device; and the corresponding first challenge is presented to the user on the device. The method responds to a correct answer provided by the user, within a first set time interval, to the first challenge by terminating the break and resuming streaming of the user-selected content to the device.

摘要： According to one embodiment, there is provided a mutual capacitance touchscreen comprising a first set of electrically conductive traces arranged in rows or columns and a second set of electrically conductive traces arranged in rows or columns arranged at right angles with respect to the rows or columns of the first set, where the first and second sets of traces are electrically insulated from and interdigitated respecting one another, and gaps between the first and second sets of traces form boundaries between the first and second sets of traces that undulate and that are not straight or linear. Other embodiments of a mutual capacitance touchscreen are also disclosed, such as “mini-diamond” sensor array patterns and sensor array patterns that may be manufactured at low cost.

摘要： Various embodiments of a capacitive touchscreen system and corresponding methods are described. A touchscreen controller is operably connected to a first plurality of drive electrodes, a second plurality of sense electrodes, and a host processor. The touchscreen controller has computer-readable button group programming instructions and data loaded into a first memory portion thereof from the host processor that comprise steps for sensing and arbitrating among touches occurring on and within a first plurality of buttons. Firmware instructions and data are loaded into a second portion of the memory of the touchscreen controller. The first plurality of buttons is arranged in a first group on the touchscreen, and the first group is located within a first portion of the touchscreen. Capacitive sensing of touches occurring on and within at least second portions of the touchscreen that are located outside the first portion of the touchscreen are controlled by the firmware instructions.
