An RFID tag is provided with an RFID chip and an antenna and interactive switch electrically coupled to the RFID chip. When a user physically interacts with the switch (such as by pressing the switch with a finger), the antenna transmits an input signal to an RFID reader of an RFID-based control system. The RFID reader, in turn, transmits a control signal to an electronic device for controlling the device. The RFID tag may be incorporated into any of a number of devices, such as a keyboard or article of clothing, and can function to operate a variety of electronic devices, including audio-visual devices and gaming systems.

A device may include a display portion that includes a display housing and a display at least partially within the display housing. The device may also include a base portion pivotally coupled to the display portion and including a bottom case, a top case coupled to the bottom case and defining an array of raised key regions, and a sensing system below the top case and configured to detect an input applied to a raised key region of the array of raised key regions.

The present disclosure provides a touch panel assembly and an electronic device. The touch panel assembly includes a touch panel, a touch switch, and a transmission assembly. The touch panel receives a touch operation from a user. The touch switch is positioned below the touch panel and located at a center position of the touch panel. The transmission assembly drives the touch panel to ascend and descend along a vertical direction synchronously and across an entire touch surface, and the touch panel activates the touch switch while descending. When subject to a given force, any touch areas of the touch panel can be pressed down, the touch panel stably moves synchronously and across its entire touch surface, so as to increase product stability. The touch panel assembly can achieve technical effects of a uniform touch feedback and the touch panel's stable movement, and so as to effectively improve user experiences.

Disclosed herein are optical stacks that are stable to light exposure by incorporating one or more UV-blocking layers.

A sensor switch with water suppression includes a sensor electrode and a photodiode connected to an evaluation circuit. The evaluation circuit generates a capacitive sensor signal indicative of an electrically-conductive object in the proximity of the sensor switch and an optical sensor signal indicative of an object at least partially opaque or impermeable to light in the proximity of the sensor switch. The capacitive sensor signal and the optical sensor signal are correlated with one another to generate an output signal.

A key scanning method and an input device thereof are provided. The key scanning method for an input device with at least a first key group and a subsidiary key group comprises: triggering a first main scan line electrically connected to the first key group and reading electrical signals received via a plurality of signal sensing lines electrically connected to the first key group to determine whether any said key among the first key group is triggered; and triggering a non-triggered one of a plurality of subsidiary scan lines electrically connected to the subsidiary key group and reading electrical signals received via another plurality of signal sensing lines electrically connected to the subsidiary key group to determine whether any said key among the subsidiary key group is triggered, wherein the first main scan line and the subsidiary scan lines are triggered one after another for multiple times.

A trigger assembly, for use with a power tool having an electric motor, includes a trigger, a conductor coupled for movement with the trigger, and a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has an inductive sensor thereon responsive to relative movement between the conductor and the inductive sensor caused by movement of the trigger. An output of the inductive sensor is used to activate the electric motor.

A device may include a display portion that includes a display housing and a display at least partially within the display housing. The device may also include a base portion pivotally coupled to the display portion and including a bottom case, a top case coupled to the bottom case and defining an array of raised key regions, and a sensing system below the top case and configured to detect an input applied to a raised key region of the array of raised key regions.

A control device having an exterior panel and a control module, where the control module includes a sensor layer, and the exterior panel overlays the sensor layer. The control module is configured to determine one or more characteristics of a touch input, and to select a scene based at least in part on the one or more determined characteristics of the touch input. The control module further controls an operational aspect of each device of the set in accordance with the selected scene.

A vehicle including a chassis which is supported on wheels such that it can be driven in a direction of travel for carrying a driver, a steering element for the driver to specify the direction of travel, a reproduction element which is arranged in the field of view of the driver in front of the driver when viewed in the direction of travel, and which is designed to display a menu containing a number of menu elements which are arranged to form a grid, and an input interface including a pressure plate which is arranged on the steering element including a top side and a bottom side which is situated opposite the top side, wherein a number of segments which are arranged to form the grid and can be detected in a haptic manner are formed on the top side of the pressure plate.
