  • Electrically conductive skin covering elements
    Patent number: 9681994
    Abstract: Skin covering elements utilize conductive regions including electrically conductive materials may be arranged to enable a user to actuate a capacitive touchscreen such as through a centrally arranged absorptive pad and/or laterally through a carrier. Embodiments directed to adhesive bandages and athletic tapes are provided. A method includes applying an adhesive bandage to a user and depressing a portion of the bandage against a surface of a capacitive touchscreen to control or operate a function of an electronic device. Conductive regions may be also arranged to communicate with an electrical interface, such as for resistive heating of skin of a user and/or providing communication with one or more sensors.
