Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a three-dimensional touch recognition apparatus and a three-dimensional touch recognition method. The three-dimensional touch recognition apparatus may include a first sensor unit configured to detect a touch, a second sensor unit vertically spaced apart from the first sensor unit and configured to measure a touch force applied from the outside when the touch is detected at a plurality of measurement sites. The apparatus may also include a control device configured to calculate a distance between a first touch location measured by the first sensor unit and a second touch location measured by the second sensor unit and to verify whether the calculated distance between the first touch location and the second touch location exceeds a threshold value to recognize a touch input.
Abstract:
A user interface apparatus using a speaker to control device operations by utilizing a speaker and a method thereof are provided. The user interface apparatus includes a user input pad that forms at least a portion of the exterior of a speaker and is configured to generate an impact sound wave based on an external impact An impact sound wave recognizer is configured to receive feedback of an output signal output via the speaker and separate a reverse current signal due to the impact sound wave included in the feedback signal. In addition, a controller is configured to analyze a waveform of the reverse current signal separated by the impact sound wave recognizer to recognize a user input pattern, and output a control signal that corresponds to the recognized user input pattern. The device operations of various devices may be controlled by tapping or flicking the exterior of a speaker.

Abstract:
A system for controlling a sound wave-based touch recognition interface includes: an auditory user interface (AUI) pad configured to transfer a sound wave, a sound wave recognition member configured to convert the sound wave transferred from the AUI pad into an electrical signal, and an actuator member attached to one side of the AUI pad and configured to be deformed in response to the electrical signal converted by the sound wave recognition member.
Abstract:
A touch input device includes a touch sensing element having at least two input parts partitioned by at least one partition line, a plurality of force sensors mounted on a bottom surface of the touch sensing element, and at least one support member mounted on the bottom surface of the touch sensing element to provide reaction force to an elastic sensing element in a vertical direction and serving as the partition line. In at least one of the two input parts, a moment based on a shearing force may be canceled by the support member.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a touch input device. The touch input device includes a first touch sensing member which is provided with a first touch surface. A second touch sensing member is disposed across the first touch sensing member, and is provided with a second touch surface that is located on the opposite side of the first touch sensing member. A suspension is provided to be deformable in response to a touch direction when a touch is applied to one of the first touch sensing member and the second touch sensing member. A force sensor is provided in the suspension.
Abstract:
An acoustic user interface apparatus and method can detect physical touch contacting a sensing surface and improve the accuracy of direction recognition of a touch or rubbing without any complicated algorithm. The user interface apparatus and method use one microphone to detect and analyze sound waves which are generated by collisions between bumps formed in a top plate or bottom plate of the interface apparatus and the opposing bottom plate or top plate when a user is touching or rubbing the sensing surface.
Abstract:
A vehicle manipulating system using sound waves includes a friction pad, and a sound wave generation film that generates film sound waves when adhered to the friction pad and moved. A smartphone is configured to control devices in a vehicle using the sound waves generated by the sound wave generation film, in order to control various devices in the vehicle while driving.
Abstract:
An apparatus that senses a minor collision of a vehicle is configured to minimize damage to the vehicle by actuating a brake system of the vehicle upon sensing a scratch of the vehicle by analyzing a sound (e.g., a sound wave signal) generated when a surface of the vehicle is scratched by, for example, a column of a building, the other vehicle, or the like when the vehicle is driven forward or backward at or below a certain speed.
