  • Publication number: 20200110482
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to data communications. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to the generation of touch events on a capacitive touch-screen of an electronic device to communicate information to the electronic device. A method, apparatus, and system for using a user device to communicate with a touch-screen of an electronic device involves the token transmitting its identity (ID) directly through the touch-sensor by artificially modifying the effective capacitance between the touch-sensor and token surfaces. The electronic device receives the signal to identify the individual token.

  • Publication number: 20190290176
    Abstract: A physiological information detection system may include an add-on device in electronic communication with a computing device. The add-on device includes a body and a first light filter retained in the body. The first light filter filters light emitted by the light source of the computing device. A lens is also retained in the body proximate the first light filter. The lens directs light exiting the first light filter out a surface of the first lens. The body retains a second lens that receives into a surface of the second lens light exiting the first lens. The surface of the first lens and the surface of the second lens are substantially coplanar. A second light filter is also retained in the body proximate the second lens.
