  • Inductive sensing user interface devices
    Patent number: 11624633
    Abstract: An inductive sensing-based user interface device which includes a conductive barrier with at least one aperture, a magnetic flux modifier attached to a rotary member on one side of the barrier and an inductive structure on an opposed side of the barrier aligned with the aperture, magnetically coupled to the flux modifier, wherein a change in sensed inductance is used to determine rotational input.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 13, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 11, 2023
    Assignee: AZOTEQ HOLDINGS LIMITED

  • Rotational sensing
    Patent number: 10275055
    Abstract: Improved means and methods to sense rotation using magnetic field sensors, inductance sensing and capacitive sensing employ a user interface comprising a knob and an integrated circuit containing a magnetic field sensor and inductance measuring circuitry. A permanent magnet and a metal member are attached to the knob, allowing detection of rotation of the knob and when the knob is depressed. A first press is interpreted as an activation command, a subsequent rotation is detected, indicated and stored, a second press is interpreted as a deactivation command and a third press is interpreted as a command to reactivate and automatically select a specific rotational position.
