| 20090284495 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING LOCATIONS OF MULTIPLE TOUCH INPUTS - Matrix-based touch input systems assess touch locations of two or more temporally overlapping touch inputs by forming valid x-y coordinate pairs from independently determined x- and y-coordinates. Valid x-y pairs are formed based on comparing one or more signal parameters such as signal magnitude, signal strength, signal width, and signal rates of change. In matrix capacitive systems where capacitance-to-ground signals are used to determine the x- and y-coordinates, the determined coordinates may be formed into valid x-y pairs using mutual capacitance measurements. When resolving more than two temporally overlapping touches, information gained by resolving a valid x-y coordinate pair of at least one of the touches may be used to resolve the remaining touches. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100127717 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING TOUCH POSITIONS BASED ON PASSIVELY-INDUCED POSITION-DEPENDENT ELECTRICAL CHARGES - Systems and methods determine the position of a touch on a surface of a device, such as a touch-sensitive device, by using passively-induced position-dependent electrical charges. In such a method, the position of a touching implement is determined on the sensing surface of a device. The method includes charging the sensing surface during a first time period by connecting all four corners of the sensing surface to a reference voltage, and over a second time period discharging two adjacent corners of the sensing surface into an integrator capacitor while connecting the two opposite corners to ground. The first and second time periods together form a charge/discharge cycle that is repeated a plurality of times, after which an output of the integrator capacitor is measured. This sequence is performed for each of the four pairs of adjacent corners of the sensing surface, resulting in four integrator capacitor output measurements, each of the four measurements being associated with a different sensing surface edge. The position of the touching implement on the sensing surface is then calculated using the four charge measurements. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100300773 | HIGH SPEED MULTI-TOUCH TOUCH DEVICE AND CONTROLLER THEREFOR - A touch-sensitive device includes a touch panel, a drive unit, a sense unit, and a measurement unit.

The sense unit couples to the sense electrode, and generates a response signal that includes a differentiated representation of the drive signal. The amplitude of the response signal is responsive to the capacitive coupling between the electrodes, and is measured to provide an indication of a touch at the node. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20090077374 | Method and System for Secure Remote Transfer of Master Key for Automated Teller Banking Machine - A method for securely transferring a master key from a host to a terminal, such as an automated teller machine, is disclosed. Each of the host and terminal is initialized with a certificate, signed by a certificate authority, and containing a public key used in used in connection with public key infrastructure communication schemes. An identifier of an authorized host is stored in the terminal. Upon receiving a communication from a host including a host certificate, the terminal validates whether it is already bound to a host, if not, whether the host identifier of the remote host matches the preloaded authorized host identifier, before further communicating with the remote host, including the exchange of certificates. In this way, the terminal is protected against attacks or intruders. Following the exchange of certificates, the host may securely transfer the master key to the terminal in a message encrypted under the terminal's public key. The terminal may decrypt the message, including the master key, using its corresponding secret key. | 03-19-2009 |
