The present invention relates to a method comprising providing one or more information carrier(s) with a dielectric and/or conductive pattern and a detection device having a capacitive touch screen and inducing an interaction between the information carrier and the touch screen, wherein the interaction is based on a difference in the dielectric coefficient and/or the conductivity of the pattern and generates a touch signal and wherein the interaction is induced by relative motion between the information carrier and the touch screen. The invention further relates to a system comprising an information carrier comprising a dielectric and/or conductive pattern which encodes information and a detection device having a touch screen; the detection device is able to decode the information upon interaction between the information carrier and the touch screen, wherein the interaction is caused by a difference in the dielectric coefficient and/or the conductivity of the pattern.

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a user interface system is described. The system includes a user interface surface. A strike sensor disposed on an underside of the user interface surface detects a strike to the user interface surface and distinguishes between movement of the user interface device along the user interface surface and a strike to the user interface surface. A haptic feedback device generates haptic feedback responsive to a detected strike.

A knob device is applicable to a touch panel. The touch panel includes a plurality of panel sensors. The knob device includes a knob cover, a sensing pad, a compensation sensor and a switch. The sensing pad is arranged between the knob cover and the touch panel. The switch is configured to selectively connect the sensing pad to the compensation sensor. When a move event of the knob device occurs, the switch is turned on and the sensing pad is electrically connected to the compensate sensor through the switch, such that a feedback loop is generated by the sensing pad, the compensation sensor and the touch panel to change a quantity of electric charge of at least one of the plurality of panel sensors. When a touch and rotation event of the knob device occurs, a location of the sensing pad controls a rotation sensing signal.

A method for multi-factor authentication on a device with a capacitive area sensor is provided in which a device with an electrically conductive structure on a non-conductive substrate represents a first authentication factor and information for the execution of an input sequence on the device represents a second authentication factor. Authentication can be performed by means of a comparison with reference data, in accordance with the likelihood with which a signal detected by the area sensor was generated by a combination of the first and second authentication factors. A device, a system and a kit for executing the method for multi-factor authentication on a capacitive area sensor.are provided.
