Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise methods and apparatus for a 3-dimensional capacitive sensor. The method and apparatus may comprise a sensing element formed along multiple planes to create a sensing field. The capacitive sensor comprises two sensing planes in communication with each other. Each sensing plane may comprise a multi-operation electrode, where the multi-operation electrode is configured to operate as a transmission electrode and a reception electrode.

Claim (Index 14):
A capacitive sensor system, comprising:\n a sensing element comprising:\n a sensing capacitor, comprising:\n a first multi-operation electrode; and \n a second multi-operation electrode in communication with the first multi-operation electrode; \n \n an integrated circuit coupled to the sensing element and configured to selectively operate each multi-operation electrode as one of:\n a reception electrode; and \n a transmission electrode; \n \n processing circuitry connected to the integrated circuit and configured to:\n measure a capacitance between the first and second multi-operation electrodes; and \n convert the measured capacitance to a volume.
