Low Power Wake Up Gestures

Touch controller detects and reports specific gestures to host

Swipe

Tap-Tap

Characters: <, >, v, ,̂ Δ, Ο, M, W, e and C

Enables phone wakeup and specific action based on gesture input

Moisture Performance

Touch controllers tested to perform under presence of moisture

Various moisture scenarios tested for

Water mists, drops, on startup and operation

Wet finger tracking

Operation after water removal

Underwater Detection

Submersion of sensor saturates delta-capacitance levels

Complete saturation of sensor indicates phone is underwater

Controller notifies host of underwater mode

Host can configures device for underwater input if desired

Accelerometer to detect taps

Mechanical buttons (e.g. volume, power keys)

Glove Operation

Detect Thick Glove

Ski, Wool, Leather glove supported

2 glove finger touch

Auto-switching to allow for seamless transition from Glove to Finger and vice-versa

Up to 120Hz refresh rate typical allows for minimal latency

Summary

Continuing

investment in resources and channels leading

to support China customers

China customers

are leading the display integration

technology

transformation with Synaptics

Continuing

investment in technology and new market in

China

Broadest portfolio

of solutions and local engineering will enable China

customers to compete globally
