Abstract: A keypad with a plate and distinct keys that move relative to the plate to generate an acoustic signal for acoustic pulse recognition (APR). Each key represents an input value and is structured to contact the plate at a region smaller than an upper surface of the key where a finger or a thumb comes into touch. The contact region of the plate coming into contact with an individual key is small relative the upper surface of the key, and hence, acoustic signals generated in response to the touch of the same key has less variance compared to acoustic signals generated in response to a direct touch of the plate by a finger or a thumb. As a result, the localization of the touch using APR can be more accurate compared to direct touch of the plate by a figure or a thumb.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to capturing an acoustic signal generated when generating a pattern of movement for authentication of a user (e.g., signing on a touchscreen for authentication of a signature). In addition to or in lieu of a digital image of the signature, the captured acoustic signal is used as information for authenticating the signature. To capture the acoustic signals, an electronic device includes a sensor for detecting the vibration on the touchscreen. During an initial registration process, the signal from the sensor is processed and stored for use as reference information. Subsequently received signals from the sensor are compared with the reference information to identify a signer or authenticate the signature.
