Abstract
A card-type smart key includes at least one button, at least one touch sensor disposed around the at least one button, and a controller for receiving at least one input from the at least one button and the at least one touch sensor, wherein, upon sensing manipulation of any one of the at least one button and then sensing touch from a touch sensor disposed around the manipulation-sensed button, the controller performs a function corresponding to the manipulation.
Claims17
A card-type smart key comprising:
- at least one button;
- at least one touch sensor disposed around the at least one button;
- and
- a controller for receiving at least one input from the at least one button and the at least one touch sensor,
- wherein, upon sensing manipulation of any one of the at least one button and then sensing a touch from a touch sensor disposed around the manipulation-sensed button, the controller performs a function corresponding to the manipulation, and
- wherein the controller wakes the at least one touch sensor corresponding to the at least one button when input through the at least one button satisfies a preset condition.
A method of controlling a card-type smart key, comprising:
- receiving user input from at least one button;
- receiving at least one input from the at least one button and at least one touch sensor;
- upon sensing manipulation of any one of the at least one button and then sensing a touch from a touch sensor disposed around the manipulation-sensed button, performing, by a controller, a function corresponding to the manipulation;
- and
- if the at least one input from the at least one button is received, determining, by the controller, whether an input time surpasses a preset filtering time.
