  • Publication number: 20160034070
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a touch-detection device includes first and second sensors, a driver and a detection circuit. The driver supplies a driving signal to the first and second sensors. The detection circuit detects an object which is in contact with a detection area, based on a detection signal which is read from the first and second sensors. The driver simultaneously supplies the signal to the first sensors in a first period, simultaneously supplies the signal to the second sensors in a second period following the first period, when the object was not detected in the first period, and successively supplies the signal to the respective first sensors in the second period, when the object was detected in the first period.

  • Patent number: 8914642
    Abstract: There is provided person oneself authenticating means for authentication of a user, which is highly secure and realizable by functions ordinarily provided by a PC, mobile phone, etc., and which is less burdensome than typical user authentication key management and authentication operations. Sound or an image is adopted as an authentication key for person oneself authentication. Authentication data is edited by combining an authentication key, which is selected by a registered user, and sound or an image that is other than the authentication key, and the authentication data is continuously reproduced in a user terminal. A time in which a user has discriminated the authentication key from the reproduced audio or video is compared with a time in which the authentication key should normally be discriminated, which is specified from the authentication data. When both times agree, the user is authenticated as a registered user.
