Touch Screen Adapter for Monitor
First Claim
1. A sensor comprising:
- a first mechanical interface to a monitor, said monitor having a horizontal display axis and a vertical display axis;
a second mechanical interface to a monitor mount;
a measurement sensor configured to resolve a position of a touch with respect to said horizontal display axis and said vertical display axis; and
an output interface configured to transmit said position of said touch.

Abstract
A touchscreen adapter may fit between a display and a display mount and may resolve the presence and position of a touch to the surface of the display. In some embodiments, the touchscreen adapter may sense using a strain gage sensor mechanism. The touchscreen adapter may have a male mechanical interface to the display and a female mechanical interface to the display mount. In some embodiments, the two mounts may be the same size and format, enabling the touchscreen adapted to be inserted between a display and display mount for a given display. The touchscreen adapter may provide an electronic interface to a computer system to transmit a presence and position of a touch made to the display.
