Patent number: 11016572Abstract: A system may include a tactile actuator for providing tactile feedback and a resonant phase sensing system. The resonant phase sensing system may include a resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor and a measurement circuit communicatively coupled to the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor and the tactile actuator. The resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor may be configured to measure phase information associated with the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor, based on the phase information, detect an indication of human interaction with the system proximate to the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor, and trigger the tactile actuator to generate tactile feedback responsive to detecting the indication of human interaction.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2020Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Cirrus Logic, Inc.Inventors: Srdjan Marijanovic, Drew Kinney, Luke Lapointe, Siddharth Maru, Tejasvi Das, Anthony S.
