Title: Michael Joseph Comstock: Innovator in Touch Technology
Introduction
Michael Joseph Comstock is a notable inventor based in Sunnyvale, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of touch technology, holding 2 patents that enhance user interaction with devices. His work focuses on improving the accuracy and efficiency of touch input systems.
Latest Patents
One of Comstock's latest patents is titled "Touch force estimation." This processing system is designed for multiple input object force estimation and includes sensor circuitry and processing circuitry. The sensor circuitry acquires measurements of a sensing region using sensor electrodes. The processing circuitry is connected to the sensor circuitry and is configured to obtain a delta image of the sensing region using the measurements. It identifies locations of the input objects in the sensing region using the delta image and determines a force estimate for each input object. The system can perform actions based on the force estimates of each input object.
Another significant patent is "Systems and methods for input device noise mitigation via a touch buffer." This processing system for an input device includes a sensor module and a noise mitigation module. The sensor module drives a plurality of transmitter electrodes with transmitter signals and receives resulting signals with a plurality of receiver electrodes. The noise mitigation module determines positional information for a first input object in the sensing region based on the resulting signals and reports this information. It includes a touch buffer that stores a plurality of input object states and limits the reporting of positional information during high-noise conditions.
