  • Identifying an object using capacitive sensing of predetermined spatial patterns of detectable elements
    Patent number: 12585362
    Abstract: Some examples may relate to an object-recognition system. The object-recognition system may generate an object identifier when an object having detectable elements in a predetermined spatial pattern is in proximity to a capacitive sensor. The object-recognition system may include a capacitive sensor and a reader to capture channel-capacitance measurements at least partially responsive to the capacitive sensor in proximity of the detectable elements. The object-recognition system may include a recognizer to generate an object identifier at least partially responsive the captured channel-capacitance measurements.
