Abstract: A method detects a pressure and a touch and/or presence in a vicinity. A capacitive layered sensor structure includes an electrically permeable and conductive layer, an electrode layer having a first electrode. Between these layers is a first insulating layer. The capacitive layered sensor structure includes a compressible insulating layer between the electrode layer and an electrically conductive layer. The method measures a first capacitance value of the first electrode using the capacitive layered sensor structure, and a second capacitance value of the first electrode using the capacitive layered sensor structure. A determination is made whether the first value is at most equal to a first threshold and at least equal to a second threshold that is greater than the first threshold. An arrangement includes the capacitive layered sensor structure and an electronic arrangement to perform the method. A computer program causes a computer to perform the method.

Abstract: A capacitive sensor comprising a first electrically conductive wire that is flexible and stretchable, a compressible layer, an integral reinforcement structure, and a first electrode for measuring a capacitance and coupled to the first electrically conductive wire. The first electrically conductive wire is attached to a first joint for connecting the first wire to another electrically conductive structure, such as a flexible circuit board or a connector. The capacitive sensor is dividable to a first part of the capacitive sensor and to a second part of the capacitive sensor, the first and second parts extending through the sensor in a direction (Sz) of thickness of the sensor. The first electrically conductive wire extends from the first joint via the second part of sensor to the first part of the sensor and further to the first electrode. A resilience of the second part is improved.
