  • Patent number: 11054945
    Abstract: A low-latency touch sensor is disclosed for use in connection with a touch surface having first and second conductors sensitive to changes in coupling therebetween as a result of touch (and/or near-touch). A signal generator generates unique orthogonal signals, a transmitter transmits the orthogonal signals on each of the first conductors. Receivers connected to the second conductors receive signals during a measurement period. The signals measured during the measurement period are processed to determine, for each measurement period, and for each of the second conductors, a signal strength corresponding to each of the unique orthogonal signals. The signal strengths can be used as a basis to determine touch events.

  • Patent number: 10969900
    Abstract: When an application displays image straddling display units (110-1 and 110-2), a coordinate conversion unit (120) uses a predetermined operation to transform the physical coordinates indicating the position at which a display unit (110-1 or 110-2) senses contact to virtual coordinates and supplies the virtual coordinates. A coordinate notification unit (130) notifies an application (140) of the physical coordinates at which contact was sensed when the application is displaying the image on one of the display units (110-1 or 110-2) and notifies the application (140) of the virtual coordinates supplied by the coordinate conversion unit (120) when the one application is displaying the image straddling the display units (110-1 and 110-2).
