Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present technology may provide methods and apparatus for a capacitive pressure sensor configured to detect firm pressure to a sensing surface. The capacitive pressure sensor may include a first substrate and a second substrate, wherein at least one of the first and second substrate is configured to deform when firm pressure is applied. The deformation of the sensor may either create a gap between the substrates or eliminate a gap between the substrates. The deformation may be interpreted as firm pressure to the sensing surface.

Claim (Index 11):
The method according to  claim 9 , wherein utilizing the measured change in capacitance to determine the first and second applied pressures comprises:\n converting the change in capacitance to a digital value; comparing the digital value to a first threshold; generating a first signal based on the comparison of the digital value to the first threshold, wherein the first signal indicates the first applied pressure; comparing the digital value to a second threshold; and generating a second signal based on the comparison of the digital value to the second threshold, wherein the second signal indicates the second applied pressure.
