    摘要: An acoustic receiver system may be configured for receiving dynamic friction acoustic waves produced via relative motion between an outer surface of an apparatus and a target object in contact with the outer surface. A control system may be configured for receiving acoustic signals from the acoustic receiver system. The acoustic signals may correspond to a first instance of the dynamic friction acoustic waves. The control system may be configured for extracting target object features from the first acoustic signals and for performing an authentication process based, at least in part, on the target object features.

    摘要: A stylus-tracking device may include a piezoelectric receiver or transceiver array on a first side (e.g., underneath) a display. Image data may be acquired from the piezoelectric receiver array. The image data may correspond to signals produced by the piezoelectric receiver array in response to an acoustic signal and/or a mechanical deformation caused by a target object (e.g., a stylus) in contact with a surface, such as a cover glass, proximate a second side of the display. A doublet pattern in the image data may include a first area of having signals below a threshold level and a second area having signals above the threshold level. Based on one or more doublet pattern characteristics, a position of the target object on the surface, a force of the target object on the surface and/or a first direction of movement of the target object relative to the surface may be estimated.

    摘要: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a controller configured to switch operation of a fingerprint sensor among operational modes. In one aspect, a fingerprint sensor may switch from operating in a first operational mode to a second operational mode based on one or more characteristics of fingerprint image data generated with the fingerprint sensor operating in the first operational mode. One of the first operational mode or the second operational mode may be a capacitive sensing mode, and the other may be an ultrasonic sensing mode.

    摘要: An apparatus may include an ultrasonic sensor system having an ultrasonic transceiver layer, a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer and a frequency-differentiating layer. In some examples, the frequency-differentiating layer may include a first frequency-differentiating layer area corresponding to a lower-frequency area of the ultrasonic sensor system. The first frequency-differentiating layer area may include a first material having a first acoustic impedance. In some such examples, the frequency-differentiating layer may include a second frequency-differentiating layer area corresponding to a higher-frequency area of the ultrasonic sensor system. The second frequency-differentiating layer area may include a second material having a second acoustic impedance. The first acoustic impedance may, for example, be higher than the second acoustic impedance.
