Patent ID: 8638107

Claim:
A transcapacitive sensing device having an ohmic seam, said transcapacitive sensing device comprising: a plurality of transmitter electrodes, wherein said plurality of transmitter electrodes is sectioned by said ohmic seam; a plurality of receiver electrodes, wherein said plurality of receiver electrodes is sectioned by said ohmic seam; and a processing system communicatively coupled with said plurality of transmitter electrodes and said plurality of receiver electrodes, said processing system configured to: transmit a first transmitter signal with a first transmitter electrode of said plurality of transmitter electrodes, wherein said first transmitter electrode is disposed on a first side of said ohmic seam; transmit a second transmitter signal with a second transmitter electrode of said plurality of transmitter electrodes, wherein said second transmitter electrode is disposed on a second side of said ohmic seam; receive a first response corresponding to said first transmitter signal with a first receiver electrode of said plurality of receiver electrodes, wherein said first receiver electrode is disposed on said first side of said ohmic seam; and receive a second response corresponding to said second transmitter signal with a second receiver electrode of said plurality of receiver electrodes, wherein said second receiver electrode is disposed on said second side of said ohmic seam, wherein said first transmitter electrode and said first receiver electrode cross over one another and said second transmitter electrode and said second receiver electrode cross over one another.
