    摘要: A proximity sensor device and method is provided that facilitates improved system usability. Specifically, the proximity sensor device and method provide the ability for a user to easily cause adjustments in an electronic system using a proximity sensor device as a user interface. For example, it can be used to facilitate user interface navigation, such as scrolling. As another example, it can be used to facilitate value adjustments, such as changing a device parameter. To facilitate adjustment, the embodiments of the present invention provide a proximity sensor device that is adapted to indicate adjustment in a first way responsive to object motion in both of two opposite directions along a path proximate the touch sensor device. This facilitates use of the proximity sensor device by a user to indicate adjustments to an electronic device, and is particularly useful for indicating continuing adjustments.

    摘要: A proximity sensor device and method is provided that facilitates improved usability. Specifically, the proximity sensor device and method provides the ability for a user to easily select the type of adjustment inputted by the proximity sensor device. In one embodiment, the proximity sensor device includes an adjustment region and one or more start tabs adjacent to the adjustment region. The proximity sensor also includes a processor adapted to indicate adjustment of a first type responsive to sensed object motion originating in a first start tab and continuing in the adjustment region. Thus, a user can cause an adjustment of the first type by introducing an object proximate the first start tab, and moving the object from the first start tab and into the adjustment region.

    摘要: The present disclosure discloses an object position detector. The object position detector comprises a touch sensor formed as a closed loop and having a physical constraint formed on an upper surface of the touch sensor and coextensive with the closed loop. The touch sensor is configured to sense motion of an object proximate to the closed loop. The object position detector also comprises a processor coupled to the touch sensor and is programmed to generate an action in response to the motion on the touch sensor.
