Abstract:
Capacitive fingernail systems adapted to fit on a fingernail and for use with a capacitive touchscreen, as well as methods of creating such systems, are disclosed. The capacitive fingernail system may include a conductive base layer secured to the fingernail, a conductive upper layer, and a dielectric medium between the base and upper layers. The capacitive fingernail system stores an amount of charge that is sufficient to permit the fingernail to successfully interact with a capacitive touchscreen. Also disclosed is a fingernail stylus for use with a capacitive touchscreen, having a shaped conductive device that is pre-formed so that it can be secured to a curvature of a fingernail. The shaped conductive surface transfers an effective amount of electrical energy to successfully interact with a capacitive touchscreen. Preferably, the capacitive fingernail systems are sized and shaped to fit unobtrusively on a fingernail without interfering with everyday activity.

Claim (Index 8):
A fingernail system for a user to interact with a capacitive touchscreen, said fingernail system comprising:\n a dielectric medium; and at least one conductive surface that it can be pressed onto a surface of the capacitive touchscreen; said fingernail system capable of storing sufficient electrical energy to permit the fingernail system to successfully interact with the capacitive touchscreen; said at least one conductive surface having sufficient conductivity such that when the conductive surface is pressed on the surface of the capacitive touchscreen, the fingernail system transfers an effective amount of stored electrical energy to cause a detectable change in capacitance at a location on the capacitive touchscreen.
