Abstract
A hybrid sensor device includes a substrate; a first sensing element configured to sense force; a second sensing element configured to sense at least one of light intensity, acoustic impedance, electrical conductivity, electrical permittivity, or temperature; signal processing circuitry configured to receive and process respective output signals of the first and second sensing elements; and decision logic circuitry configured to validate an intent of a user input based on the respective output signals of the first and second force sensors, wherein the first and second sensors, the signal processing circuitry, and the decision logic circuitry are integrated on the substrate.
Claims16
A hybrid sensor device comprising:
- a substrate;
- a first sensing element configured to sense an applied force;
- a second sensing element configured to sense at least one of light intensity, acoustic impedance, electrical conductivity, electrical permittivity, or temperature;
- signal processing circuitry configured to receive and process respective output signals of the first and second sensing elements;
- and
- decision logic circuitry configured to validate an intent of a user input based on the respective output signals of the first and second sensing elements, wherein the first and second sensing elements, the signal processing circuitry, and the decision logic circuitry are integrated on the substrate wherein the validating the intent of the user input determines whether the user input was made by a user so that the user input is valid.
