Abstract:
Sensor arrangements and signal processing for touch-based user interfaces comprising multiple sensor types and other arrangements so as to create user interface output signals responsive to touch. Various types of sensors and other measurement arrangements can include capacitive tactile sensor arrays, optical tactile sensor arrays, proximity sensor arrays, pressure sensor arrays, and video cameras. In one approach, spatial information processing acts on initial image processing data acting separately on the data or measurements provided by each sensor. At least one software algorithm comprises at least one of a functional partition (wherein some user interface output signals are derived only from a pre-specified sensor), decision-based selection (wherein some user interface output signals are selectively derived from a selected sensor), or spatial information processing (wherein user interface output signals are obtained from threshold testing, conditional testing, vector quantization, algorithms employing parameterized calculations, algorithms employing compensation calculations and operations, artificial neural networks, etc.).

Claim (Index 1):
A system for implementing a user interface, the system comprising:\n a processor for executing instructions; a first tactile sensing arrangement for providing a plurality of tactile sensing measurements to the processor, wherein a first tactile sensing measurements is in response to receiving tactile input provided by an object; and a secondary information sensing arrangement for providing secondary information to the processor, wherein the secondary information is in response: a second tactile sensing arrangement providing another tactile sensing measurement, wherein the second tactile sensing arrangement is separate from the first tactile sensing arrangement; wherein the processor is configured to execute instructions to: in response to a combination of the first tactile sensing measurements when the object is in physical contact with the first tactile sensing arrangement and the secondary information from the second tactile sensing arrangement when the object is to be measured by the secondary information sensing arrangement, generate user interface output signals, wherein the user interface output signals are produced from spatial information processing acting on one or more values arranged to be provided by first initial image processing of the first tactile sensing measurements and second initial image processing of the secondary information when the object is in physical contact with the first tactile sensing arrangement.
