Cadence controlled actuator
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for actuating a mobile device having a touch plate comprising:
- receiving a first edge of a signal, wherein the first edge is a transition beyond a threshold;
receiving a second edge of the signal within an initial tolerance of the first edge, wherein the second edge is a transition beyond the threshold;
receiving a third edge within a match tolerance, wherein the third edge is a transition beyond the threshold; and
actuating a controlled device, responsive to receiving the second edge within the initial tolerance and responsive to receiving the third edge within the match tolerance.

Abstract
Signals in a proper cadence are recognized as meeting criteria. Such signals are received from a touch plate coupled to a touch circuit. A controller discriminates against spurious signals if such signals are outside an initial tolerance, that is, are faster or slower than a device operator would enter such signals. Providing the criteria for an initial tolerance and a match tolerance are met, the controller actuates a device, such as a light emitting diode.

14. A circuit for actuating comprising:
-
a touch plate;
a touch circuit for detecting a presence of a conductor extremely proximal to the touch plate and transmitting edges; and
a controller unit, wherein the controller unit receives edges of a signal and transmits an actuate signal based on receiving at least three edges having a first interval and a second interval in which the first interval and the second interval vary substantially. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
