Touch-Sensing Pattern for Multi-Angular Orientations - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18733145 titled 'Touch-Sensing Pattern for Multi-Angular Orientations
The abstract describes an electronic device with touch sensors arranged in a pattern to detect user input at various angular orientations, such as horizontal or vertical swipes.
- The device includes a plurality of touch sensors, including a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth sensor.
- These sensors can detect user input for different angular orientations of a wireless earbud within a specific range of degrees.
- The touch sensors are configured to detect user input for angular orientations between 85 degrees forward and 85 degrees rearward of the initial vertical position of the vertical centerline.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in smart devices like smartphones or tablets to enhance user interaction. - It could also be applied in wearable technology, such as smartwatches or fitness trackers, to improve user experience.
Problems Solved: - The device addresses the need for more intuitive and versatile user input methods on electronic devices. - It allows for precise detection of user gestures at various angles, enhancing user control and interaction.
Benefits: - Improved user experience with more natural and responsive touch input. - Increased versatility in user interaction with electronic devices. - Enhanced functionality and control options for users.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Touch-Sensing Device for Enhanced User Interaction This technology could be commercially used in the development of next-generation smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, and other consumer electronics to provide users with more intuitive and versatile touch input options, ultimately enhancing user experience and device functionality.

Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device that includes a touch-sensing device having a plurality of touch sensors arranged in a pattern configured to detect user input at a plurality of angular orientations is disclosed. The user input may be a horizontal swipe across the touch-sensing device or a vertical swipe down a vertical centerline of the touch-sensing device. The plurality of touch sensors includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a third sensor, a fourth sensor, and a fifth sensor. The touch sensors are configured to detect, via at least three sensors, the user input for one or more angular orientations of a wireless earbud between 85 degrees Forward of an initial vertical position of the vertical centerline and 85 degrees rearward of the initial vertical position of the vertical centerline.
