Abstract

A portable electronic device includes a proximity sensing user interface and a controller. The proximity sensing user interface is configured to capture location and distance information. The controller is coupled to the proximity sensing user interface and is configured to process first distance information (31) captured by the proximity sensing user interface during a predetermined touch action to determine distance between the user's skin and the proximity sensing user interface. whether a layer of material (25) is inserted between them. The controller is configured to selectively set the input mode from the first input mode to the second input mode when the first distance information indicates that the material layer (25) is not interposed between the user's skin and the proximity sensing user interface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to portable electronic devices and methods of controlling portable electronic devices having a proximity sensing user interface. Background technique [0002] Various electronic devices may be equipped with user interfaces that respond to touch actions. Such a user interface can be configured as a transparent sensor panel extending over the display, providing enhanced control and user interaction. Various implementations of user interfaces that respond to touch actions are available, including resistive sensor pads and capacitive sensor pads. The interface is not only operable to sense the proximity of objects in response to direct touch, providing additional versatility in the control of electronic devices. To illustrate, the user may control different functions depending on whether the user's skin is directly touching the user interface or hovering some distance above the user interface. [0003] Touch sensor pads can...
