  • Electronic input device with piezoelectric sensor
    Patent number: 8145298
    Abstract: An electronic input device with piezoelectric sensor is provided, the electronic input device includes a housing, a piezoelectric sensing layer provided on the surface of the housing, an electrode plate provided and served to cover on top of the piezoelectric sensing layer. When a user's skin is in contact with the electrode plate, galvanic skin signals that represent the user's physiology status are transferred to the input device, meanwhile the piezoelectric sensing layer sends piezoelectric signals corresponding to the pressing level pressed by the user. When the piezoelectric sending layer is pressed to a proper level, effective galvanic skin signals are determined to the input device.
