ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING PRESSURE SENSOR AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18097835 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING PRESSURE SENSOR AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a flexible display that includes a pressure sensor. The device has a housing structure and the pressure sensor consists of two resistors located in the flexible display. A control circuit is used to detect the pressure applied to the display by measuring the values of the resistors when the display is touched.
- The electronic device has a flexible display with a pressure sensor.
- The pressure sensor is made up of two resistors located in the flexible display.
- A control circuit is used to measure the values of the resistors when the display is touched.
- The control circuit detects the pressure applied to the display based on the resistor values.
Potential Applications
- Touch-sensitive displays that can detect different levels of pressure.
- Improved user interaction with electronic devices through pressure-sensitive displays.
- Enhanced input methods for gaming or drawing applications.
Problems Solved
- Lack of pressure sensitivity in traditional touchscreens.
- Limited user interaction options with touchscreens.
- Difficulty in accurately detecting different levels of pressure on a touchscreen.
Benefits
- More intuitive and natural user interaction with electronic devices.
- Increased precision and control in touch-based applications.
- Potential for new and innovative user interfaces.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes: a housing structure; a flexible display provided on the housing structure; a pressure sensor including a first resistor and a second resistor that are provided in at least a portion of the flexible display; and a control circuit configured to detect a value associated with a pressure applied to the flexible display based on values corresponding to the first resistor and the second resistor in case that the flexible display is touched.
