Abstract: Acoustic sensing provides a mode by which user input is received by a computing device. As an example, a surface is acoustically monitored for interactions with one or more user-manipulated objects, such as a body part of the user or a variety of passive objects. Acoustic analysis of frequencies produced by such objects interacting with the surface enables these objects to be distinguished from each other. Multiple objects interacting with the surface at the same time may be associated with different types of user input to provide a multi-touch user interface for the computing device. The acoustic sensing techniques described herein support motion-based and tapping-based gestures using one, two, or more touch interactions with an acoustically monitored surface.

Next, the driving electrode driver repeats scanning operations for supplying the driving signals to the selected N2 (N2?2) number of driving electrodes a plurality of times by shifting each of the selected N2 number of driving electrodes N3 number by N3 number. N3 is less than N2.

Abstract: A light irradiation device to display an image by light irradiation prevents easy perception of distortion occurring in the displayed image due to vibration of the device or movement of viewpoint. A random number is generated, and the refresh rate of the displayed image is distributed at random in correspondence with the random number.
