20120050229, Mar 1, 2012
Filed:
Nov 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/950981
Inventors:
Matthew D. TENUTA - San Jose CA, US

Louis W. Bokma - San Jose CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/041
US Classification:
345178
Abstract:
A method for calibrating a touch sensor panel including a plurality of touch electrodes is provided. The method includes determining, for each of the plurality of touch electrodes, a contribution in terms of capacitance to a total capacitance of the touch sensor panel; and allocating a fraction of a fixed period of time for measuring a capacitance of each of the plurality of electrodes based on the electrode's contribution to the total capacitance.

Matthew Dominic TENUTA - San Jose CA, US
Matthew Dominic TENUTA - San Jose CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/041
G06F 3/044
G06F 3/044
Abstract:
A computing device may include a sensor controller configured to control operations of a human-touch capacitive sensor module, a near-field communication (NFC) controller configured to control operations of an NFC module, and/or a plurality of communication lines including a first communication line and a second communication line. Each of the first and second communication lines may be connected to the sensor controller and the NFC controller such that control signals are transferred between the sensor controller and the NFC controller to synchronize the operations of the human-touch capacitive sensor module and the operations of the NFC module.
Pressure-Sensitive Trackpad

20150084868, Mar 26, 2015
Filed:
Oct 8, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/048430
Inventors:
- Mountain View CA, US
Matthew Dominic Tenuta - San Jose CA, US
Matthew Dominic Tenuta - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
GOOGLE INC. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06F 3/02
G06F 3/045
G06F 3/044
G06F 3/045
G06F 3/044
US Classification:
345168, 345174
Abstract:
A trackpad device includes a top surface, a capacitive sensor operably coupled to the top surface, a resistive sensor disposed below the capacitive sensor and at least one controller operably coupled to the capacitive sensor and to the resistive sensor. The at least one controller and the capacitive sensor are configured to detect one or more objects on the top surface. The at least one controller and the resistive sensor are configured to detect the one or more objects on the top surface independent of the detection by the at least one controller and the capacitive sensor. The at least one controller is configured to determine locations of the one or more objects on the top surface using information from the detection by the at least one controller and capacitive sensor and information from the detection by the at least one controller and the resistive sensor.
Touch Scanning And Wireless Scanning In A Portable Computing Device
View pageUS Patent:
20140340347, Nov 20, 2014
Filed:
Jun 4, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/909724
Inventors:
- Mountain View CA, US
Matthew D. Tenuta - San Jose CA, US
Matthew D. Tenuta - San Jose CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/044
US Classification:
345174
Abstract:
In an example implementation, a portable computing device may alternate between scanning for tactile input, such as a user's finger on a trackpad, and scanning for wireless input, such as a near field communication (NFC) signal. If tactile input is received, the portable computing device may stop scanning for wireless input while the portable computing device continues to receive the tactile input. When the portable computing device stops receiving the tactile input, the portable computing device may return to alternating between scanning for tactile input and scanning for wireless input. If wireless input is received, the portable computing device may stop scanning for tactile input while wirelessly communicating with the device from which the wireless input was received. When the portable computing device is finished wirelessly communicating with the device, the portable computing device may return to alternating between scanning for tactile input and scanning for wireless input.

Assignee:
Google Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06F 3/044
US Classification:
345174, 29622
Abstract:
