System and method for orchestrating adaptive capacitive sensor groupings of a capacitive split contactless keyboard for an information handling system

Abstract

A split keyboard structure of an information handling system may comprise a keyboard sensing hardware structure including capacitive pad sensors in a capacitive pads layer formed under a sealed input surface of the keyboard sensing hardware structure to detect capacitive changes from user interaction with a removable tactile input layer, and a host microprocessor to execute machine readable code instructions to identify user touch input based on a first detected capacitive change sensed simultaneously at a first subset of capacitive pad sensors operatively coupled to the host microprocessor in a first capacitive change sensing region and a second detected capacitive changed sensed simultaneously at a second subset of capacitive pad sensors in a second capacitive change sensing region to increase regions across the capacitive pads layer which touch inputs are sensed beyond that of individual keyboard keys to decrease processing time to detect user touch input.
