SENSOR DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17809091 titled 'SENSOR DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is a sensor device that includes first sensors, second sensors, a multi-frequency generator, a sensor transmitter, and a sensor receiver.
- The first sensors and second sensors form capacitance with each other.
- The multi-frequency generator generates two frequency signals: a first frequency signal and a second frequency signal with different frequencies.
- The sensor transmitter supplies first driving signals based on the first frequency signal to first sensors in a first group, supplies second driving signals based on the second frequency signal to first sensors in a second group, and simultaneously supplies both signals.
- The sensor receiver simultaneously receives sensing signals from the second sensors.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various fields where sensor devices are used, such as:
- Automotive industry for vehicle detection and monitoring systems.
- Industrial automation for process control and monitoring.
