  • Patent number: 9134841
    Abstract: A controlling device applied to a touch panel. The controlling device includes a sampling module, a determining module and a reporting module. The sampling module samples electrical signals of the touch panel, and generates at least one trigger signal corresponding to the at least one touch event when at least one touch event occurs on the touch panel. The determining module determines whether the at least one touch event is a single-point-multi-finger gesture according to a position of the at least one trigger signal and sampled physical quantity. The reporting module reports the at least one touch event when the determining module determines that the at least one touch event corresponding to the at least one trigger signal is the single-point-multi-finger gesture.

  • Publication number: 20120234631
    Abstract: A method of a simple node transportation system is disclosed. The transportation system comprises a vehicle travels on a route and a traditional control module of the vehicle. The route comprises a plurality of nodes which the vehicle may stop by. The method comprises the following steps: detecting that at least one user moving into a target area of one of the nodes; detecting a gesture of the user; outputting a corresponding control command to the traditional control module in response to the gesture; and displaying the corresponding control command.
