Simultaneous hover and touch interface

摘要

Example apparatus and methods concern processing simultaneous touch and hover actions for a touch-sensitive and hover-sensitive input/output (i/o) interface. One example apparatus includes a touch detector that detects an object that touches the i/o interface. The example apparatus includes a proximity detector that detects an object in a hover-space associated with the i/o interface. The apparatus produces characterization data concerning the touch action and the hover action. The proximity detector and the touch detector may share a set of capacitive sensing nodes. Example apparatus and methods selectively control input/output actions on the i/o interface based on a combination of the touch action(s) and the hover action(s).
