Abstract:
Disclosed are keyboards and keyboard switches sensitive to touch, including, hover and pressure. The keyboard switches have transmit and receive antennae that are spaced apart such that no portion of the transmit antenna touches any portion of the receive antenna. The keyboard switches are arranged in logical rows and logical columns such that each of the keyboard switches is associated with one row and one column. Signal emitters are conductively coupled to the transmit antennae for each of the keyboard switches associated with each of the rows, and each of the signal emitters are adapted to cause each of the transmit antennae to transmit one or more source signals. Receivers are coupled to the receive antennae for each of the keyboard switches associated with each of the columns, and each of the receivers are adapted to capture a frame of signals present on the coupled receive antennae. A signal processor adapted to determine a measurement from each frame, corresponding to an amount of the source signals present on the receive antennae during a time the corresponding frame was received. The signal processor further adapted to determine a keyboard switch touch state from a range of touch states based at least in part on the corresponding measurement.

Claim (Index 15):
The keyboard switch of  claim 11 , further comprising:\n second transmit antenna associated with the keyboard switch, the second transmit antenna being spaced apart from the transmit antenna and the receive antenna such that no portion of the second transmit antenna touches any portion of the transmit antenna or the receive antenna; wherein the second transmit antenna is adapted to cause the second transmit antenna to transmit an additional source signal, wherein the additional source signal is orthogonal to the source signal; the signal processor being further adapted to:\n (i) determine an additional measurement from the frame, the additional measurement corresponding to an amount of the additional source signal present on the receive antenna during a time the corresponding frame was received, and \n (ii) determine the keyboard switch touch state also based at least in part on the additional measurement.
