A system and method for enabling arbitrary mapping of any number, shape and size of controls or features of a physical input device to a virtual reality device that is used in a virtual reality or augmented reality environment.
摘要:
A system and method for providing security for a point-of-sale (POS) terminal or an encrypting PIN pad (EPP) by protecting the signals that could be directly probed on a touch sensor electrode grid or remotely probed such as through power supply signals or RF emissions, wherein the drive signals are randomly applied to drive electrodes in order to prevent tracking of drive signals, and charge is injected on sense lines to hide PIN data.
摘要:
A system and method for injecting a signal on a sense electrode in order to increase the security of the touch sensor if signals are capable of being intercepted by a probe, the injected signals being capable of creating a signal on the sense electrode that replicates the signal of an actual finger, creating a signal on a sense electrode that is equal to but opposite of an actual finger in order to cancel out the signal from the actual finger and therefore hide its presence, and create a pseudo random signal on sense electrodes so that it is difficult to correlate measurable signals on sense electrodes to actual finger position.
摘要:
A method for detecting multiple objects on a touchpad having a grid of orthogonal electrodes, wherein all drive electrodes are simultaneously stimulated, and then frequency or electrode coding is used to separate each electrode junction and produce a capacitance image of the touchpad surface in a single measurement sequence.

摘要:
A system and method for reducing the power required for a capacitive sensing measurement and for simplifying a sample capacitor signal offset while reducing charge injection during synchronous rectification by enabling the touch sensor to begin a measurement cycle at an arbitrary voltage rather than forcing the touch sensor to have a precise known voltage.
