Embodiment Construction

[0018] It will be appreciated that the drawings and descriptions of embodiments of an apparatus and method using multiple touch sensors on multiple surfaces together using centralized, common processing to enable multi-touch performance for multi-touch applications are for It has been simplified for purposes of clarity of understanding to illustrate the pertinent elements, while, for the sake of brevity, many other elements found in a typical human-machine input (HMI) system have been removed. Those skilled in the art may recognize that other elements and / or steps are desirable and / or required in implementing the present invention. However, because such elements and steps are well known in the art, and because they are not conducive to a better understanding of the present invention, a discussion of such elements and steps is not provided here.

[0019] Non-limiting embodiments described herein relate to devices and methods that use multiple touch sensors on multiple surfaces ...

Abstract

A device and method using multiple touch-sensors on multiple ergonomically separated surfaces together with centralized, common processing to enable multi-touch performance for multi-touch applications. The device uses a combination of two or more separate touch-sensors with common processing to allow use of a wider portfolio of touch technologies which would otherwise only offer single-touch capabilities, for multi-touch applications. The usage of multiple separated sensors allows coverage of various surfaces using sensor technologies that might otherwise be unavailable. The segmented ergonomically formed touch sensitive devices use ergonomic single-touch and multi-touch gestures for controlling or passing general input information to electronic devices having a human-machine input. The devices fit a variety of surface conditions and are operable via a combination of a number of different human body parts. The multiple touch sensors are ergonomically separated or dedicated to body parts.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to human input devices and claims the benefit of US Nonprovisional Patent Application No. 14 / 450,446, filed August 4, 2014, which is incorporated by reference and set forth in its entirety. Background technique [0002] Many electronic devices today provide a human-machine interface through touch-sensitive devices such as touchpads or touchscreens. These touch sensitive devices may be implemented using a variety of technologies including capacitive or resistive sensors, piezoelectric or other force sensitive plates, various optical methods, and the like. Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages. Some of these technologies are able to recognize two or more simultaneous touches, some are only able to recognize a single touch. On the other hand, some of the single-touch technologies can offer other features such as better electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), additional measurement of touch pressure or force, or lower ...
