Patent number: 10409413Abstract: A user interface apparatus and method are provided for gloved and non-gloved touch sensitive button actuation. A user interface (100) embodied as a body wearable harness (104) provides a touch button control system having an activation button (120) and functional touch sensitive control buttons (108, 110, 140). The activation button (120) has a capacitive touch element (130) associated therewith that determines gloved or non-gloved operation based on a capacitive measurement taken in response to a finger input to the button. A plurality of control buttons (108, 110, and 140) are automatically assigned increased sensitivity levels in response to detected gloved mode operation in accordance with the measurement. The increased sensitivity levels allow various radio functions to be accessed by a gloved finger input during gloved mode operation with increased reliability. Additional control button identification can be added through the addition of vibrational alerts.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2016Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Wooi Ping Teoh, Bing Qin Lim, Murali Kuyimbil, Wai Mun Lee, Chan Chee Kit, Kee Cheah Chan

Publication number: 20170140576Abstract: An automated personnel identification system. The system includes a portable communications device that stores an identifier, which uniquely identifies the portable communications device, a user of the portable communications device, or both. The system also includes a garment. The garment includes a communications interface, a light source, and an electronic controller electrically coupled to the communications interface and to the light source. The electronic controller is configured to receive the identifier, via the communications interface, from the portable communications device. The electronic controller is further configured to cause the light source to generate a modulated optical output based on the identifier. In some embodiments, the electronic controller is further configured to receive a status indication from the portable communications device via the communications interface, and activate the light source based on the status indication.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2015Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: Bing Qin Lim, Chee Kit Chan, Boon Kheng Hooi, Murali Kuyimbil, Wai Mun Lee, Wooi Ping Teoh

Patent number: 9639225Abstract: A method and circuitry for detecting a touch on a device is provided herein. Touch-sensing circuitry comprises two antennas coupled to two voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). A phase locked loop (PLL) is provided coupled to the VCOs. The PLL compares a VCO output with a frequency source (temperature controlled crystal oscillator (TCXO)), and outputs a tuning voltage (steering voltage) for the VCO that is based on the difference between the VCO frequency and the TCXO frequency. The steering voltages for each VCO are compared, and a decision is made as to whether or not a touch has been made to the antennas. If the antennas have been touched, a location of the touch is determined based on a difference in the steering voltages of the two VCOs.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Bing Qin Lim, Murali Kuyimbil, Wai Mun Lee, Lee Sun Ooi, Wooi Ping Teoh
