Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A computing device may include a sensor controller configured to control operations of a human-touch capacitive sensor module, a near-field communication (NFC) controller configured to control operations of an NFC module, and/or a plurality of communication lines including a first communication line and a second communication line. Each of the first and second communication lines may be connected to the sensor controller and the NFC controller such that control signals are transferred between the sensor controller and the NFC controller to synchronize the operations of the human-touch capacitive sensor module and the operations of the NFC module.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for synchronizing operations of sensors on a computing device according to a synchronization protocol, the method comprising: determining, by a first controller configured to control a human-touch capacitive sensor, whether a non-allowability control signal is detected via a first communication line connected between the first controller and a second controller configured to control a short-range wireless communication sensor; delaying, by the fir…
