Abstract: A portable object including a case formed of a frame closed by a glass forming a housing, in which an electronic module is placed, the electronic module cooperating with a controller including at least one plurality of touch pads for interacting with the electronic module, each touch pad being located on an inner/outer surface of the case, the electronic module being programmed to operate in a first operating mode in which at least the touch pads are activated and to operate in a second operating mode in which at least the touch pads are deactivated.

Abstract: A method for detecting the presence and/or determine a position of an object on a measurement surface of an electronic device. The process includes: providing oscillating signal(s) at input points which are different and spaced from the array of electrodes in a detection area of the measurement surface; receiving oscillating signal(s) having passed through the array, which defines a transfer function of the signals, in output point(s) which are different and spaced from the array of electrodes in a detection area of the measurement surface; measuring a coupling or an attenuation induced by the presence on one or more oscillating signals passing through the array of electrodes of an object placed on the measurement surface in order to determine the position of the object in the detection area of the measurement surface depending on the modification of the transfer function of the array of electrodes.
