  • Patent number: 11686600
    Abstract: An apparatus with rotor input detection includes: a first reactance element disposed at a rotor configured such that at least a part of the rotor rotates around a rotation axis, and disposed at the rotor such that reactance of the first reactance element varies depending on relative rotation between a first portion of the rotor and a second portion of the rotor; and a second reactance element disposed at the rotor such that reactance of the second reactance element varies depending on a contact or a force applied to a side surface of the rotor. The first and second reactance elements are configured to detect inputs of different areas of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 11609651
    Abstract: A device with touch sensing. The device includes a first sensor configured to detect a touch and to provide a first sensing signal, a second sensor configured to detect another touch and to provide a second sensing signal, a threshold generator configured to set a first threshold by a reflecting of an amount of change of the second sensing signal to an initial threshold, and a sensor circuit configured to generate a first differential signal based on the first sensing signal, and to determine a first touch based on a consideration of the first threshold with respect to a first signal generated based on the first differential signal and the first sensing signal.

  • Publication number: 20220011915
    Abstract: A method of generating an operating signal of an electronic device includes: deriving a force measurement value based on a change in inductance of a touch sensing device disposed inside a housing of the electronic device and configured to change inductance by external pressure applied to a touch switching unit of the housing; accumulatively recording the force measurement value derived in the deriving of the force measurement value; setting a reference value based on the recorded force measurement value, in response to the force measurement value being accumulatively recorded until a unit condition is satisfied; and generating an operating signal based on a high and low relationship between the force measurement value derived from the change in inductance occurring after the setting of the reference value, and the set reference value.
