Method and apparatus for determining a valid sequence of touch events on a touch sensitive device

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for determining a valid sequence of touch events on a touch sensitive device. A first sequence of touch events is received, a proximity between any two touch events of the first sequence of touch events being greater than a proximity threshold. A second sequence of touch events is received. The touch events from the first and the second sequence are combined if a time difference between the first and the second sequence of touch events is below a time threshold and a proximity between the first and the second sequence of touch events is less than the proximity threshold. A valid sequence of touch events is determined if a combined pressure of the first and the second sequence of touch events is greater than a pressure threshold.

Disclosed herein are related to a touch sensitive device. The touch sensitive device includes a panel with a surface including a tactile interface, where the tactile interface has surface variations forming a tactile pattern. In one aspect, tactile interaction with the tactile pattern produces an energy signature representative of the surface variations. In one aspect, the touch sensitive device further includes an electro-mechanical transducer configured to generate an electrical output signal in response to detecting the energy signature. In one aspect, an output of the electro-mechanical transducer is connectable to a processor configured to produce a control signal based on the electrical output signal of the electro-mechanical transducer.

ULTRASONIC WATER-AGNOSTIC TOUCH DETECTION SENSOR

An ultrasonic touch sensing system that uses both compressional and shear waves for touch and water detection is disclosed. When no touch or water is present, less shear and compressional wave energy is absorbed, so both shear and compressional wave reflections do not have significant amplitude decreases. When a finger is in contact with the sensing plate, both shear and compressional wave energy is absorbed, so both shear and compressional wave reflections have significant amplitude decreases. When water is in contact with the sensing plate, compressional energy is absorbed but little or no shear wave energy is absorbed, so while compressional wave reflections have significant amplitude decreases, shear wave reflections do not. From these amplitudes, a determination can be made as to whether no touch is present on the sensing plate, whether a touch is present on the sensing plate, or whether water is present on the sensing plate.
