  • EARPIECES WITH CAPACITIVE TOUCH INTERFACES
    Publication number: 20250274693
    Abstract: An earpiece includes a primary capacitive sensor, a secondary capacitive sensor that is arranged substantially orthogonally to the primary capacitive sensor, and a controller that is configured to receive input from the primary capacitive sensor to control one or more functions of the earpiece. The controller is further configured to receive input from the secondary capacitive sensor to detect if there is an interfering contact with the earpiece, and, if so, reject input from the capacitive touch interface.
