  • Publication number: 20200220576
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system which extends NFC near field communication over a user's skin by converting electromagnetic signals into modulated alternating electric fields and vice versa. A modified patch is attached to an NFC device, which gets energized from its electromagnetic resonance which may contain data. The patch uses the energy to create an alternating electric field which couples into and spreads over a user's skin. The user may approach or touch objects which then get energized by the alternating electric field. The objects have a tag which modulates the electric field with data back over the user's skin to the patch, which then demodulates the data to modulate the NFC communication of the NFC device for further processing.

  • Publication number: 20190391663
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for allowing users to capacitively interact with objects using gestures in an environment. The system includes a smart sense unit for communicating gesture information and a smart sensing master unit is capacitively coupled to the smart sense unit for identifying the received gesture information and identification information from the smart sense unit to operate the object. The gestures may either be 2D, 3D, multiple 2D or 3D gestures from different users or different body parts. The smart sense unit identifies the change in a provided electric field caused by the user and the object and converts into a digital value. The smart sense unit further identifies the location of the object and the user and further communicates the information to the smart sensing master unit. The smart sensing master unit identifies the gesture and the identification information to interact with the object on receiving the impedance changes forked out from a resonator.

  • Patent number: 10048759
    Abstract: The invention refers to an input device for computer system. The invention is based on the task of creating solutions to make it possible to considerably simplify mouse-based input operations in the use of computers. This task is solved in accordance with the invention by a computer mouse with a housing and a movement detector to generate control data which as such correlate with the movement of the housing along the X or Y axis, and a hand detector to generate control data which as such correlate with the position and/or the finger gestures of a hand in relation to the housing before the computer mouse is touched. This makes it advantageously possible to carry out input operations to an even better degree with a computer mouse, in particular cursor controls, in a way that can be intuitively and easily mastered.
