Fecha de publicación: 18/09/2014 Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization" Sensor extensions are a way of connecting capacitive sensors to a system using capacitive coupling rather than a conductive connection. Sensor extensions enable many unique applications. For example, a sensing system can be designed to support interchangeable sensor modules without exposed metal contacts. In another application, multi-layer sensor assemblies can be implemented without requiring connections between layers (“vias”), simplifying routing and allowing the area of touch sensors to be expanded. In yet another application, product packaging can include sensors that are extensions of the product's sensors. In-store display solutions can use the technique to make products on display touch-sensitive.
