SAN
JOSE, Calif., May 10, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- UltraSense Systems, an emerging leader in
automotive semiconductor Human Machine Interface (HMI) Controllers
and HMI touch system designs, will be showcasing how its TouchPoint
Q Controller adds force sensing to multiple sizes of off-the-shelf
touch displays at Display Week 2024, May
14th to 16th, Booth 141, at San Jose
McEnery Convention Center.
As car interfaces evolve to be more like a smartphone on wheels,
displays of various shapes and sizes are multiplying throughout the
vehicle for safety and convenience, including for the steering
wheel instrument panel, front and back seat infotainment and HVAC
system. With most displays being capacitive touch based, this
presents challenges from false triggers to basic one-dimensional
user interface designs. The benefits of adding force sensing are
plentiful, including:
- adding Z-dimension (depth) enhances UI design with touch
position and force intensity;
- using force intensity for higher confidence and confirmation of
driver intent;
- enables more immediate touch and feedback to the driver without
looking with haptics or audio; and
- eliminates false triggers from inadvertent light touches,
wiping and ambient interferences like moisture and spilled
liquids.
While adding force-touch to displays is nothing new with several
different types of externally augmented force sensors and
internally integrated display methods used today, UltraSense
TouchPoint Q Controller(s) provides several unique benefits to
other traditional discrete force sensor solutions, including:
- less sensors required for better cost-effectiveness;
- quickly augments existing off-the-shelf displays for fast time
to market;
- large sensing dynamic range to support a wide range of
mechanical designs;
- low sensitivity to temperature changes;
- immunity to mechanical stress and aging stress over time;
- true solid surface force detection without visual surface
displacement;
- on-chip MCU and DSP algorithms; and
- and wider manufacturing tolerances without multiple stages of
calibration.
"Having a uniquely positioned portfolio of HMI Controllers with
capacitive, ultrasound and force, affords us the ability to 'be in
the room' to help solve challenges of our customers," said Mo
Maghsoudnia, Founder and CEO of UltraSense Systems. "More and more
customers are coming to us with new ways to use our controllers and
we are pleased that our TouchPoint Q Controller can be a solution
for force-touch displays."
