  • Input device
    Patent number: 9176576
    Abstract: An input device for triggering a function of an electronic device comprises a humidity sensor (12), and a control unit (11). The control unit (11) analyzes a humidity signal (RH) supplied by the humidity sensor (12) and provides a trigger signal (C) subject to the analysis of the humidity signal (RH) for triggering the function of the electronic device (3). In such way, the function of the electronic device can simply be controlled by blowing at the input device (1).

  • INPUT DEVICE
    Publication number: 20140016668
    Abstract: An input device for triggering a function of an electronic device comprises a temperature sensor (12), and a control unit (11). The control unit (11) analyzes a temperature signal (T) supplied by the temperature sensor (12) and provides a trigger signal (C) subject to the analysis of the temperature signal (T) for triggering the function of the electronic device (3). In such way, the function of the electronic device can simply be controlled by blowing at the input device (1).
