ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FORCE SENSORS DISPOSED ON SAME LAYER AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958694 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FORCE SENSORS DISPOSED ON SAME LAYER AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a cover window that can detect pressure applied to it. The device includes two sensors, one on top of the other, to measure the pressure accurately. The second sensor is less deformed by the pressure than the first sensor, allowing for more precise measurements. A processor analyzes the data from both sensors to determine the pressure applied to the cover window.

  • The electronic device has a cover window that can detect pressure.
  • It includes two sensors, one on top of the other, to measure the pressure accurately.
  • The second sensor is less deformed by the pressure than the first sensor.
  • A processor analyzes the data from both sensors to determine the pressure applied to the cover window.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in smartphones, tablets, or other touch-sensitive devices to improve the accuracy of pressure-sensitive interactions.
  • It can also be applied in automotive touchscreens or control panels to enhance user experience and enable more precise input.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of accurately detecting pressure applied to a cover window in electronic devices.
  • It addresses the issue of sensor deformation caused by pressure, which can lead to inaccurate measurements.

Benefits

  • The use of two sensors allows for more accurate and reliable pressure detection.
  • By reducing sensor deformation, the technology improves the overall precision of pressure-sensitive interactions.
  • It enhances user experience by enabling more advanced touch interactions and gestures.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a cover window defining a front surface of the electronic device; a first sensor provided under the cover window and configured to detect a pressure applied to the cover window; a second sensor provided on a same layer as the first sensor and configured to detect the pressure applied to the cover window; a first adhesive member provided on at least one area under the second sensor, wherein the second sensor is less deformed than the first sensor by the pressure applied to the cover window provided by the first adhesive member; and a processor configured to: acquire a first pressure change amount detected by the first sensor and a second pressure change amount detected by the second sensor; and detect the pressure applied to the cover window based on the first pressure change amount and the second pressure change amount.
