20130194200 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ROCKING FINGER AND STATIC FINGER DETECTION ON AN INPUT DEVICE - A method of reducing the power consumption of an input device includes operating the input device at a first power level, detecting the presence of a touch object on a touch surface of the input device, determining that the presence of the touch object on the touch surface is static for a predetermined period of time, operating the input device at a second power level, maintaining the input device at the second power level, determining that the presence of the touch object on the touch surface is not static, and operating the input device at the first power level. In some cases, the touch object is a finger. The touch object is static if the touch object's position on the touch surface remains within a predetermined region, where the predetermined region is an area centered around the presence of the touch object on the touch surface. | 08-01-2013 |
20130194201 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SPURIOUS SIGNAL DETECTION AND COMPENSATION ON AN INPUT DEVICE - A method for applying a first or second set of threshold values for touch sensor gesture recognition based on the presence of one of a plurality of predetermined conditions is described herein. The plurality of predetermined conditions can include one or more of a lift detection, a speed threshold detection, and a button press detection. Lift detection can be detected by one or more of an optical sensor, gyroscope, or accelerometer. Speed detection can be detected by one or more of an optical sensor, gyroscope, or accelerometer. Button detection can be detected by a mechanical button, pressure sensitive button, or a touch sensor. | 08-01-2013 |
20130194235 | Multi-sensor input device - A method of calibration including powering up an input device that includes a touch sensor and placing the touch sensor in a normal mode of operation. The input device scans the touch sensor to detect a user input data and determines whether the user input is detected within a predetermined time period. If no user input is received during the predetermined time period, the method includes placing the touch sensor in a calibration mode of operation, performing a calibration process for the touch sensor, and returning the touch sensor to the normal mode of operation. Typically, the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to 30 seconds. In certain embodiments, the calibration process is performed a single time after powering up the input device. In some embodiments, the method further includes detecting a user input on one or more additional sensors within the predetermined time period. | 08-01-2013 |
