INFORMATION INPUT DEVICE, SENSITIVITY DETERMINATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520877 titled 'INFORMATION INPUT DEVICE, SENSITIVITY DETERMINATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

An information input device with a touch panel and a processor can detect different levels of capacitance change in response to touch inputs on different types of media.

  • The device can determine thresholds of capacitance change for each type of media based on the detected results.
  • These thresholds are used to determine whether a touch input on the touch panel is made with each type of media.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Detection of capacitance change levels in response to touch inputs on different types of media.
  • Determination of thresholds for capacitance change based on the detected results.
  • Use of thresholds to judge touch inputs on the touch panel with different types of media.

Original Abstract Submitted

An information input device includes a touch panel and a processor. The processor receives a touch input to the touch panel with each of multiple media. The processor detects which of multiple thresholds is exceeded by a capacitance change of the touch panel in response to a touch input to the touch panel. The processor determines thresholds of capacitance change for respective media based on a detected result. The respective media are the multiple media. The thresholds of capacitance change are each used in judgement on whether or not a touch input to the touch panel with the each of the multiple media is made.
