  • Patent number: 10088955
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing interference caused by a near field communication antenna that is in close proximity of a touch sensor that the near field communication antenna will cause electromagnetic interference with operation of the touch sensor when the near field communication antenna is transmitting, wherein specific electrodes of the touch sensor are grounded when the near field communication antenna is actively transmitting a signal, thereby enabling the touch sensor to continue operating at the same time as the near field communication antenna.

  • Publication number: 20150169217
    Abstract: A system and method for configuring pre-programmed features of a touch and proximity sensor by using touch and/or proximity gestures to activate a receiving mode of the touch and proximity sensor, perform a gesture to activate or deactivate a pre-programmed feature, and then terminating the receiving mode to return the touch and proximity sensor to a normal mode of operation.
