Sohui JEON has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11892287
    Abstract: An input device includes: a first electrode including a reference potential electrode and two or more sets each including a transmission electrode and a reception electrode; and a second electrode that approaches and recedes from the two or more sets by rotating while facing the first electrode with a predetermined space being provided therebetween. The reference potential electrode faces at least a portion of the second electrode as a result of the second electrode approaching at least one set out of the two or more sets. A phase when a first set of first transmission and reception electrodes disposed in a first region approaches and recedes from the second electrode is different from a phase when a second set of second transmission and reception electrodes disposed in a second region approaches and recedes from the second electrode.

  • Publication number: 20230305648
    Abstract: An input device includes two fixed electrodes and an operating member. The two fixed electrodes is configured to be placed to overlap with specific line electrodes of a plurality of line electrodes . The operating member is movable with respect to the two fixed electrodes. The operating member is movable within a movable range including a plurality of click points. Electrical states of the two fixed electrodes change among a plurality of states in accordance with a movement of the operating member. A divisor of an integer N does not include 4, where the integer N is a total number of times of change in the electrical states of the at least two fixed electrodes when the operating member moves from one to a next one of adjacent two click points of the plurality of click points.

  • Patent number: 11703963
    Abstract: An input device includes: a first electrode; a support body that supports the first electrode; a fixed body fixed above the support body; a second electrode; a movable body that holds the second electrode in a state where the second electrode faces the first electrode with a predetermined space being provided therebetween, and causes the second electrode to approach and recede from the first electrode in a movement direction by rotating; an operation body that is fixed movably relative to the fixed body in a state where the operation body is engaged with the movable body, and causes, by being operated by a user, the movable body to rotate; and a biasing part that is disposed between the movable body and the fixed body, and applies, to the movable body, a biasing force toward the support body.
