The electronic equipment comprises a processing circuit operative to perform a comparison between the frequency-resolved electrical characteristics of the user and reference characteristics to authenticate the user. The processing circuit is operative to perform an unlocking operation based on a result of the comparison.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium having instructions to receive a touch event originating from a touch panel; compare a timing of the touch event and a timing of a display refresh event; determine whether to adjust a time during which a next scan of the touch panel occurs based on a comparison of the timing of the touch event and the timing of the display refresh event; calculate a time value that indicates when the next scan occurs based on a determination to adjust the time; and adjust the time during which the next scan occurs based on the time value.

Abstract: A device and method in accordance with the present disclosure provide an input to an electronic device via a gesture performed by a user. A distortion of the user's skin surface due to a gesture performed on the user's skin surface is detected, and a characteristic of the detected distortion is determined. Based on the determined characteristic, the gesture performed on the user's skin surface is determined.

The controller (120) is configured to interpret said presence of the object and calculate a force value and control said feedback element (140) to provide a feedback with respect to the force value.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a proximity-sensitive touch sensor array which extends along an input surface of the electronic device and a processing device coupled to the touch sensor array. The processing device is configured to process data captured by the touch sensor array to determine a finger angle at which a finger is directed towards the input surface and an actuation position on the input surface. The processing device is configured to establish an offset-corrected actuation position as a function of the actuation position and the finger angle.

Abstract: A method and system that makes use of social networking data and/or sensor data gathered from personal mobile radio terminal-based sensors (36-48) and/or advertisement display (14) based sensors to select and to serve relevant messages to render to a group of individuals. The messages are chosen to maximize the impact the messages will have on the target audience based on the likes/dislikes of the crowd, any mood the individuals may be experiencing, or any other relevant data.

Abstract: A system, method and computer application for electronic device 10 for detecting movement near an electronic device. The electronic device includes movement detection circuitry configured to detect movement of an object near the movement detection circuitry. The movement detection circuitry includes at least one sensor that detects movement and generates at least one output signal corresponding to a position of the object detected. The electronic device further includes a memory for storing one or more predefined state parameters that correspond to one or more predefined movements to be detected by the movement detection circuitry. During processing, the output signals of the sensors are processed by averaging signals received from the one or more sensors to determine vertical movement above the movement detection circuitry and a determination is made as to whether the output signals of the one or more sensors are active or inactive to determine horizontal movement across the movement detection circuitry.
