Patent ID: 7439465

Claim:
An input system, comprising: an array of touch regions, wherein at least one of the touch regions is aligned with a sensing structure for sensing a user input, the sensing structure comprising: a first conductive region; a second conductive region aligned with the first conductive region, the second conductive region including a first conductive pattern forming a first switch terminal and a second conductive pattern forming a second switch terminal, the first conductive pattern separated by a space from the second conductive pattern; and a third conductive region between the first conductive region and the second conductive region, the third conductive region electrically coupling the first switch terminal to the second switch terminal to provide a first indication when the switch is open and a second indication when the switch is closed; wherein the plurality of conductive members comprises a first set of parallel members and a second set of parallel members, the first set being orthogonal to the second set.
