Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for multi touch pads for object detection are provided. The multi touch pads are each electrically connected via an associated electrode to one or two electrode input ports of an electrostatic sensor. When a touch pad is touched a voltage is generated at the associated electrode input of the electrostatic input. As two touch pads detect touch over time from a motion, the electrostatic sensor detects the motion from the difference in voltage signals received. The electrostatic sensor generates a sensor signal output that may be transmitted to one or more additional circuitries to indicate that motion has been detected, which may trigger one or more operations depending on an application.
