  • Control-point activation condition detection for generating corresponding control signals
    Patent number: 11681369
    Abstract: A device and method for detecting control-point activation conditions corresponding to a portion of a glove body coming in contact with or being within a threshold distance from at least one of another portion of the glove body or a control surface separate from the glove body. The glove may include a conductive path attached to the glove body and an expanded conductive area conductively coupled to the conductive path and attached to the glove body. The expanded conductive area may be wider than individual portions of the conductive path.

  • Resistive loop excitation and readout for touch point detection and generation of corresponding control signals
    Patent number: 8704758
    Abstract: A means and method for enabling contact or touch point location detection to be implemented on a particular garment. This means and method simplifies the design of the garment by reducing the number of conductors required to interconnect the various touch points and signal processing circuitry; it provides a way to dynamically reposition or resize the effective touch point target regions; and it provides for new control capabilities by optionally allowing continuously variable user input control.
