A dual touchpad system is provided. The dual touchpad system includes a first touchpad and a second touchpad. The dual touchpad system also includes an input detection unit coupled to the first and second touchpads and configured to monitor the first and second touchpads for user contact thereon. The dual touchpad system also includes a gesture recognition unit configured to control an electronic device in response to receiving input from the input detection unit indicative of detected contact on the first and/or second touchpads to control the electronic device. The first touchpad is spaced apart from and is non-concentric with the second touchpad in embodiments.

Dual touchpad system

A proximity-based input device is disclosed. The proximity-based input device may include a display device, a detection surface, an input detection unit, and a processor. The input detection unit detects the presence of a target in proximity to the detection surface and generates a corresponding proximity signal. The input detection unit also detects contact on the detection surface and any movement or breakage in movement of the contact, and generates a corresponding touch signal. The processor may display an object on the display device, displays a virtual image of the target in proximity to the detection surface on the display device with reference to the proximity signal, highlights the object on the display device in response to the virtual image of the target overlapping the object, and selects the object in response to receiving the touch signal from the input detection unit when the object is highlighted.
