  • Patent number: 12093488
    Abstract: Signal of inputs made by a finger on a touch-sensitive capacitive operating element are evaluated by calculating a finger position from sensor strokes of individual capacitive sensors. The calculated finger position is not output if a difference between the maximum and minimum sensor stroke of the sensors is smaller than a preset value or smaller than the error tolerance of the sensors. The finger position is output if the difference between the maximum and minimum sensor stroke of the sensors is greater than the first preset value and if the sensor stroke of a sensor closest to the detected finger position at the edge of the touch-sensitive capacitive operating element is smaller than a second preset value.

  • Patent number: 9553766
    Abstract: A method, device, system, and computer program product that relate to configuration of an edge component and subcomponents to adapt data from a Device to a readable form and to communicate the adapted data to a Network End Environment. The Network End Environment includes a user interface by which a user requests that the edge component is updated to have a configuration version stored at a source. The system processes the request and updates the edge component configuration. The edge component is updated to a source configuration at a predetermined time interval according to one of a full configuration refresh or a delta configuration. Data received and processed by the edge component can thereafter be pushed to the Network End Environment for storage and/or use in a Network application. The edge component is described as a Connector, and the subcomponents of the edge component are described as Connector components.
