Title: Maintaining pressure input paths
Inventor: TIMOTHY PETER WILES
IPC: G06F3/0488
Filed: 2020-02-04
Abstract: A method of maintaining a pressure input path in a sensing array 401 isdescribed. The sensing array comprises a plurality of sensing elements 404, and the method involves activating a first sensing element 404A to determinea first location data point 403 and activating a second sensing element 404Dto determine a second location data point 405. The state location (x,y) andstate velocity (Vx, Vy) are calculated based on the first and second location datapoints to create a state vector 407. A predicted path of further location data points is determined from the state vector to avoid drop out problems withpressure inputs to a touchscreen. The sensor array may comprise a pressure sensitive material which provides two-dimensional position data and applied pressure data. The vector may be updated by replacing an earlier location data point with a later location data point from the activation of a further sensing element 404. A predicted path can be terminated if no sensing element is activated after a predetermined time period. The sensing array may be scanned without any input to determine a background reading which can be removed from any actual location data points.
