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 9):
A method for detecting an applied pressure, comprising:\n providing a capacitive sensor comprising:\n a first substrate; and \n a second substrate abutting the first substrate; \n wherein:\n the second substrate comprises a first electrode coplanar with a second electrode; \n the first and second electrodes form a capacitance; and \n at least one of the first substrate and second substrate is capable of deforming in response to the applied pressure; \n \n generating an electric field between the first and second electrodes; measuring a change in the capacitance of the capacitive sensor; and utilizing the measured change in the capacitance to determine:\n an applied first pressure; and \n an applied second pressure.
