UPLINK CHANNEL COMPENSATION FOR TOUCHSCREEN DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302919 titled 'UPLINK CHANNEL COMPENSATION FOR TOUCHSCREEN DEVICES
The patent application describes an apparatus and method for compensating for the effect of a user's hand or body part touching a touch screen while holding an input device. This is achieved by detecting and discriminating the body touch and modifying at least one uplink channel parameter.
- The innovation involves compensating for the interference caused by a user's body touch on a touch screen while using an input device.
- The method includes detecting the body touch and adjusting the uplink channel parameters to mitigate the impact of the touch.
- By modifying the uplink channel parameters, the system can maintain the integrity of the communication between the input device and the host device.
- This technology aims to improve the user experience by reducing unintended inputs caused by body touches on the touch screen.
- The innovation could potentially enhance the accuracy and reliability of touch screen interactions in various devices.
Potential Applications: - Mobile devices - Tablets - Gaming consoles - Automotive touch screens
Problems Solved: - Unintended inputs on touch screens - Interference from body touches while using input devices
Benefits: - Improved user experience - Enhanced accuracy of touch screen interactions - Reduced errors in input commands
Commercial Applications: Title: Touch Screen Interference Compensation Technology This technology could be utilized in various consumer electronics devices to enhance user experience and improve the reliability of touch screen interactions. It could be particularly beneficial for mobile devices, tablets, gaming consoles, and automotive touch screens.
Questions about Touch Screen Interference Compensation Technology: 1. How does this technology differentiate between intentional and unintentional touches on the touch screen?
- The system uses algorithms to analyze the characteristics of the touch and determine if it is intentional or unintentional based on factors such as pressure and duration.
2. What impact could this technology have on the gaming industry?
- This technology could significantly improve the accuracy of touch inputs in gaming consoles, leading to a more seamless and immersive gaming experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus and method for compensating the effect of a contact by a hand or other body part of a user with a touch screen while holding an input device on the strength of a capacitively coupled uplink signal provided to the input device by a host device, by detecting and/or discriminating the body touch and modifying at least one uplink channel parameter.
