    摘要: A phone case that has touch capabilities is disclosed. The phone case comprises associated electronics and/or materials that allows the phone case to be used in conjunction with a smartphone to allow a user the ability to have touch capabilities simply by depressing one or more edges of a phone case. The phone case with touch capabilities may be used in conjunction with a smartphone that maintains its own touch capabilities on the phone screen. The phone case may alternatively possess transmitting touch capabilities so that it can be used with and control other touch screens. The phone case may possess the ability to toggle between receiving and transmitting touch capabilities.

    摘要: Electronic equipment includes a touch sensor including a plurality of electrodes arranged in a plane shape and separated from each other in an array direction, a differential amplifier that amplifies a difference between a positive-side signal and a negative-side signal selectively output from the plurality of electrodes and that outputs the difference, a position detection unit that detects a touch position in a sensor area that is formed by the touch sensor, based on an output signal from the differential amplifier, and a conductive part that is a part made of a conductive material or contains a conductive material and that is arranged to partially overlap the sensor area in plan view. The conductive part is arranged such that an outermost end point thereof in the array direction is positioned on one of the plurality of electrodes.

    摘要: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a controller trigger that includes an input surface configured to receive input based on movement of a finger of a user, the trigger having a range of motion along a trigger path. The apparatus further includes a mode selector configured to actuate movement of an intermediate switching component between a discrete-input mode and a variable-input mode. The intermediate switching component includes a moveable arm, and in the discrete input mode the moveable arm occupies at least a portion of the trigger path, thereby limiting the range of motion of the trigger; and in the variable input mode the moveable arm does not occupy the trigger path. The apparatus further includes a switch configured to receive input, in the discrete-input mode, based on a movement of the intermediate switching component, in response to a physical contact by the trigger.

    摘要: A method for calibrating sensed force of a touch pad module is provided. The touch pad module includes a touch pad and force sensing elements disposed therebeneath. The method includes: obtaining a force reference table obtained before the touch pad module is assembled with an electronic device, the force reference table including a first data, which includes a first point of the touch pad and first force reference values corresponding to the first point and respectively corresponding to the force sensing elements; placing a calibration block on the first point after the touch pad module is assembled with the electronic device, so the force sensing elements respectively obtain first force test values corresponding to the first point; calculating first compensation ratios according to the first force reference values and the first force test values; and inputting the first compensation ratios into the force reference table.

    摘要: Provided is a system for a touch pad used by both a finger and a pen to input operations to a computer. The system includes a sensor electrode group, an integrated circuit, and a memory storing a device driver. The sensor electrode group is configured to be placed over a touch surface that is different from a display surface of the computer. The integrated circuit uses the sensor electrode group to detect a touch position on the touch surface where the finger is in contact and a pen position on the touch surface where the pen is in contact and supplies the detected touch position and pen position to the device driver. The device driver is configured to convert the touch position into relative coordinates when the device driver receives the touch position, and convert the pen position into absolute coordinates when the device driver receives the pen position.

    摘要: Devices, systems and processes facilitate adaptive user progressions through content. A process includes receiving a detected first user input motion and determining, based thereon, a first progression type. The process may include executing: a slow scrub progression when input motion occurs within a first area defined by a first velocity threshold VT1 upper limit and a first array sector range AS1; executing a fast scrub progression when input motion occurs within a second area defined by a second velocity threshold VT2 upper limit and a second array sector range AS2; executing a slow swipe scrub progression when input motion occurs within a third area defined by a third velocity threshold VT3 upper limit and a third array sector range AS3; and executing a fast swipe progression when input motion occurs within a fourth area defined by a fourth velocity threshold VT4 upper limit and a fourth array sector range AS4.
