Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Avoided is falsely detecting a hand of a usual user being in contact with a contact sensor, instead of detecting an object, such as water, having a high dielectric constant being in contact with the contact sensor. A smartphone ( 1 ) includes a contact determination section ( 101 ) which determines that (i) a hand is in contact with a contact sensor ( 11 ) in a case where an output value outputted by the contact sensor ( 11 ) is not lower than TH 1 and lower than TH 3 and (ii) an object, such as water, having a high dielectric constant is in contact with the contact sensor ( 11 ) in a case where the output value is not lower than TH 3.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 : A mobile terminal comprising: a contact sensor which, in a case where an object, such as water, having a high dielectric constant is in contact with the contact sensor, outputs an output value whose absolute value is higher than that of an output value which the contact sensor usually outputs in a case where a hand of a user is in contact with the contact sensor, the contact sensor being provided at a position with which the hand of the user is in contact while the user is holding a housing…
