Han-Ying Lei has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10168799
    Abstract: A hybrid digital analog key switch is designed to generate both a digital signal and an analog signal (DA) from a single key switch after the key is depressed. A pair of spring metal electrodes are electrically coupled to up and down movement of the key stem, and a force sensor is configured on a bottom side of the key module. Both a digital signal and an analog signal are generated when the key is depressed by a user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10073557
    Abstract: A force sensing structure and a force sensing device including the same are provided. The force sensing structure is configured to detect a proximity of an object to the force sensor from an upside and a force applied by the object to the force touch sensor. The force sensing structure includes a first electrode and a first capacitance material layer. The first capacitance material layer is disposed adjacent to the first electrode. When the object approaches the force touch sensor, the force touch sensor is configured to detect the proximity of the object according to a first capacitance variation, and when the object contacts the force sensor and deforms of the first capacitance material layer, the force touch sensor is configured to detect the force applied by the object according to a second capacitance variation.

  • Patent number: 9502798
    Abstract: An electrical connector having a circuit board and elastic pieces is provided. The elastic pieces are disposed on the circuit board. Each elastic piece includes contact portions, fixing portions and insulating portions. The fixing portions are fixed on the circuit board and electrically connected to the circuit board. The contact portions are connected to corresponding fixing portions and are protruded from the fixing portions along a direction away from the circuit board. Each insulating portion is connected to two adjacent fixing portions, so as to connect and electrically insulate the fixing portions. Moreover, an electronic device including the above-mentioned connector is also provided.
