20110019205Apparatus and method for implementing a touchless slider - A method for gesture recognition in an optical system using a touchless slider is shown. The touchless slider has first and second reference points positioned along an axis in an optical system. The method includes obtaining a plurality of first and second reflectance values by measuring an amplitude of light reflected from an object relative to the first and second reference points, respectively, wherein each first and second reflectance value corresponds to a different point in time. The plurality of first and second reflectance values are compared to identify a plurality of ratio values between the first and second reflectance values, wherein each of the plurality of ratio values corresponds to one of the points in time. At least one of a position and a direction of movement of the object relative to the first and second reference points is determined based on the identified plurality of ratio values.01-27-2011
20110157068TOUCH SCREEN POWER-SAVING SCREEN SCANNING ALGORITHM - A method for detecting touch locations on a capacitive array includes the steps of scanning for at least one touch location on an entire capacitive array using a first sensing circuitry and detecting the at least one touch location with the first sensing circuitry. A smaller portion of the capacitive array is determined responsive to the detection of the at least one touch location. The at least one touch location is scanned only within smaller portion of the capacitive array using a second sensing circuitry. The at least one touch location is detected with the second sensing circuitry and output for use.06-30-2011

20100283760METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCANNING A TOUCHSCREEN WITH MULTI-TOUCH DETECTION USING MASTER/SLAVE DEVICES - A touch panel scan system is disclosed for detecting a change in mutual capacitance on the surface of a touch panel. A first touch detect device is provided having a transmitter for transmitting a transmit signal to a select one of a plurality of first lines on a first edge of a touch panel to facilitate a single line scan operation. A second touch detect device is interfaced with a select one or ones of second lines on a second edge of the touch panel having a receiver for receiving therefrom and processing thereof transmit signals coupled thereto from the select one or ones of the first lines to detect changes in a mutual capacitance associated with the select one or ones of the second lines and the first line. At least one of the first or second touch detect devices functions as a master and the other functions as a slave, with the master coupled to the slave and generating a SYNC signal to initiate a single scan operation of a select one of the first lines.11-11-2010
