CAPACITIVE PROXIMITY BASED GESTURE INPUT SYSTEM

摘要

A plurality of capacitive proximity sensors on a substantially horizontal plane and in combination with a microcontroller are used to detect user gestures for Page Up/Down, Zoom In/Out, Move Up/Down/Right/Left, Rotation, etc., commands to a video display. The microcontroller is adapted to interpret the capacitive changes of the plurality of capacitive proximity sensors caused by the user gestures, and generate control signals based upon these gestures to control the visual content of the video display.
