최근 아이폰을 필두로 급부상하는 스마트폰의 정전기식 입력 장치에서는 펜 입력장치나 감압식 입력 장치를 위해 만들어진 제스처기반 인터페이스가 적합하지 않다. 손가락 튕김 인터페이스는 기존의 제스처기반 인터페이스에서 사용했던 플릭 제스처와 달리 명령을 적용시킬 대상과 명령을 동시에 선택함으로 작업 단계를 절반으로 감소시킬 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 멀티터치 인터페이스와 병합하여 사용함으로 다양한 메뉴 지원이 가능하여 복잡한 제스처를 학습할 필요가 없고, 정전기식 입력 장치 장치에 사용하기 적합하여 입력 오류를 최소화 시킨다. 본 연구에서는 정전기식 입력 장치를 가지는 스마트 폰 장치에서의 파일 관리를 빠르게 해주는 다중 손가락 튕김 인터페이스를 설계하고 구현한다. 실험에서는 사용자 평가를 통해 제안하는 인터페이스가 정전기식 입력 장치에서 기존 방식보다 유용함을 증명한다.

In this paper, we designed HW / SW interfaces for processing the signals of capacitive sensors like Electric Potential Sensor (EPS) to detect the surrounding electric field disturbance as feature signals in motion recognition systems. We implemented a smart light control system with those interfaces. In the system, the on/off switch and brightness adjustment are controlled by hand gestures using the designed and fabricated interface circuits. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals of the controller with a driver IC are used to drive the LED and to control the brightness and on/off operation. Using the hand-gesture signals obtained through EPS sensors and the interface HW/SW, we can not only construct a gesture instructing system but also accomplish the faster recognition speed by developing dedicated interface hardware including control circuitry. Finally, using the proposed hand-gesture recognition and signal processing methods, the light control module was also designed and implemented. The experimental result shows that the smart light control system can control the LED module properly by accurate motion detection and gesture classification.

In this paper, a low-power CMOS interface circuit is designed and demonstrated for capacitive sensor applications, which is implemented using a standard 0.35-${\mu}m$ CMOS logic technology. To achieve low-power performance, the low-voltage capacitance-to-pulse-width converter based on a self-reset operation at a supply voltage of 1.5 V is designed and incorporated into a new interface circuit. Moreover, the external pulse signal for the reset operation is made unnecessary by the employment of the self-reset operation. At a low supply voltage of 1.5 V, the new circuit requires a total power consumption of 0.47 mW with ultra-low power dissipation of 157 ${\mu}W$ of the interface-circuit core. These results demonstrate that the new interface circuit with self-reset operation successfully reduces power consumption. In addition, a prototype wireless sensor-module with the proposed circuit is successfully implemented for practical applications. Consequently, the new CMOS interface circuit can be used for the sensor applications in ubiquitous sensor networks, where low-power performance is essential.

In this paper, we propose a novel tangible interface system whose system does not use the expensive hardware is introduced. This proposed tangible interface is used on the table top capacitive multi touch-screen. The tangible interface apparatus which is called smart puck has sanguine arduino compatible board. The board has a Cds photo-sensing sensor and the EPP8266 WiFi module. The Cds sensor decodes the photometric PWM signals from the system and sends corresponding information to the system via TCP/IP. The system has a server called MT-Server to communicate with the smart pucks. The tangible interface shows reliable operation with fast response that is compatible to the expensive traditional devices in the market.

We present a multi-Gbit/s digital I/O interface based on RF-modulation and capacitive-coupling over an impedance matched transmission line. The RF-interconnect(RFI) can greatly reduce the digital switching noise and eliminate the dc power dissipation over the channel. It also enables reduced signal amplitude(as low as 200 ㎷) with enhanced data rate and affordable circuit overhead. This paper addresses the system advantages and implementation issues of RFI. A prototype on-chip RFI transceiver is implemented in 0.18-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS. It demonstrates a maximum data rate of 2.2 Gbit/s via 10.5-㎓ RF-modulation. The RFI can be very instrumental for future high-speed inter- and intra-ULSI data links.

This research, integratable capacitive relative humidity sensor was produced using polyimide on glass substrate. Also, at the time of upper electrode formation, upper electrode grain size was affected by giving changes to sputtering condition. Through this analyzing electrical characteristics affect from capacitive relative humidity sensor was possible. Capacitance of capacitive relative humidity sensor was 330 pF, linearity of 0.6%FS and it showed less than 3% of low hysterisis. Specially, hysterisis was affected more from interface than interstitial. Also was affected by the grain size which is one of the formation condition of upper electrode.

This paper describes the low noise and low power IC using the opamp sharing technique for the capacitive micro-sensor sensing platform. The proposed IC reduces noise using correlated double sampling (CDS) and reduces power consumption using the opamp sharing technique. The IC is designed to be fully programmable, and can be digitally controlled by serial peripheral interface (SPI). The power consumption and the integrated input referred noise are 1.02 mW from a 3.3 V supply voltage and $0.164aF_{RMS}$ with a bandwidth of 400 Hz. The capacitive sensitivity, the input-output linearity and the figure of merits (FoM) are 2.5 mV/fF, 2.46 %FSO, and 8.4, respectively.

본 논문에서는 개선된 charge pump 회로를 이용하여 구성한 2-dimensional 터치스크린 패널 드라이버를 소개한다. 개선된 전정 센싱 회로는 charge pump 회로의 중간노드 전하 축적을 제거하여 출력 전압 표류 현상을 효과적으로 없앤다. 터치 패널 드라이버는 터치를 감지하는 아날로그 센싱 부분과 감지된 신호를 처리하는 디지털 신호 처리 부분으로 이루어진다. 제안된 터치스크린 드라이버의 동작을 확인하기 위하여 혼성 모드로 회로를 구성하고 Cadence Spectre를 이용하여 그 동작을 검증하였다. 디지털 회로 부분은 Verilog-A로 모델링하여 아날로그 회로와 인터페이스가 가능하게 하여 전체 회로 동작을 검증함으로써 혼성모드 회로 동작의 신뢰성을 확보하였고 시뮬레이션 시간을 단축할 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션 결과 개선된 전정 센싱 회로를 이용한 제안된 구조의 터치 패널 드라이버의 안정적인 동작을 확인하였다.

This paper describes a novel way of applying capacitive sensing technology to a mobile user interface. The key idea is to use grip-pattern, which is naturally produced when a user tries to use the mobile device, as a clue to determine an application to be launched. To this end, a capacitive touch sensing system is carefully designed and installed underneath the housing of the mobile device to capture the information of the user's grip-pattern. The captured data is then recognized by dedicated recognition algorithms. The feasibility of the proposed user interface system is thoroughly evaluated with various recognition tests.
