(54) NON-CONTACT TYPE USER INPUT DEVICE
(57)Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To recognize the information of

(

9--

two or more points and the shape of an approaching object.

SOLUTION: A non-contact type user input device is
provided with a plurality of linear transmission electrodes, a
transmitter supplying an AC current for transmission to the

r-

respective transmission electrodes, a plurality of linear
reception electrodes arranged so as not to be in contact
iwith the respective transmission electrodes and a receiver
y
receiving the AC current flowing through the reception
!
electrodes. A capacitor is formed at each intersection of
the transmission electrode and the reception electrode, a
parallel capacitor is formed corresponding to the approach
of the fingertip of a user and the capacitance of the
capacitor changes corresponding to the approaching degree
of the fingertip. Recognition is performed by utilizing the
R
change of the AC current passing through the capacitor
between the electrodes.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a multipoint
indication by detecting lengthwise indication coordinates of
a beltlike resistance layer applied with a voltage from the
ratio of the applied voltage value and a detected voltage
value.
SOLUTION: When one point on a sheet is pressed and
indicated, a beltlike resistance layer 26 of a 1st electrode
part 28a and a beltlike resistance layer 26 of a 2nd
electrode part 28b come into contact with each other at the
intersection part between the both. In the detection area
based upon the beltlike resistance layer 26 as a detection
unit, a voltage is applied to the beltlike resistance layer 26
of the electrode part 28a and while the application line of
the voltage is changed, the line number to the beltlike
resistance layer 26 where the voltage of the electrode part
28b is outputted is detected. Consequently, the coordinate
position based upon the detection area as a unit is
calculated from the line number of the beltlike resistance

I

I 26

Íayer 26 applied with the voltage and the arrangement
position of the line number of the beltlike resistance layer 26 where the voltage is detected. A

rough ooordinate position is detected by a matrix system based upon the detection area as a unit
and the accurate coordinate position is calculated by an analog system which divides a reference
voltage.

Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
3.

The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the

basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
A person shall be entitled to a patent unless (e) the invention was described in (1) an application for patent, published under section 122(b), by another filed
in the United States before the invention by the applicant for patent or (2) a patent granted on an application for
patent by another filed in the United States before the invention by the applicant for patent, except that an
international application filed under the treaty defined in section 351(a) shall have the effects for purposes of this
subsection of an application filed in the United States only if the international application designated the United
States and was published under Article 21(2) of such treaty in the English language.

4.

Claims 1, 2, 7-9, 12, 13, 33-37, 39, 41-45 and 47-50 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(e)

as being anticipated by Vakil et al (US 2005/0007349).
As to claim 1, Vakil et al. disclose in fig. 1, a touch panel having a transparent capacitive
sensing medium configured to detect multiple touches or near touches that occur at a same time
and at distinct locations in a plane of the touch panel and to produce distinct signals

representative of a location of the touches on the plane of the touch panel for each of the multiple
touches (see [0012]); wherein the transparent capacitive sensing medium comprises a transparent

electrode layer (102, 104), the electrode layer including a plurality of electrically isolated
electrodes and electrode traces formed from a transparent conductive material, each of the
electrodes being placed at different locations in the plane of the touch panel (see [0016], each of

the electrodes having an individual trace for operatively coupling to capacitive monitoring

circuitry(see conductor traces connected to control circuit (see [0017]).
Claim 7, Vakil et al. disclose in fig. 1, a touch panel comprising a transparent capacitive
sensing medium configured to detect multiple touches or near touches that occur at a same time
and at distinct locations in a plane of the touch panel and to produce distinct signals

representative of a location of the touches on the plane of the touch panel for each of the multiple
touches, wherein the transparent capacitive sensing medium comprises: a first layer (102)having
a plurality of transparent conductive lines that are electrically isolate from one another; and a
second layer (104) spatially separated from the first layer and having a plurality of transparent:

conductive lines that are electrically isolated from one another (see [0016,0017]), the second
conductive lines being positioned transverse to the first conductive lines, the intersection of
transverse lines being positioned at different locations in the plane of the touch panel, each of the
conductive lines being operatively coupled to capacitive monitoring circuitry (see [0016,0017].
As to claim 8, Vakil et al. disclose further wherein the conductive line:
on each of the layers are substantially parallel to one another (see fig. 1).
As to claim 9, Vakil et al. disclose further touch panel as recited in claim 8 wherein the
conductive line: on different layers are substantially perpendicular to one another.

As to claim 12, Vakil et al. disclose further, wherein the conductive lines are formed from

indium tin oxide (ITO) (see[0017])
As to claim 13, Vakil et al. disclose in fig. 1, a display arrangement comprising: a display
having a screen for displaying a graphical user interface (fig. 2) ; and a transparent touch panel

APLNDC00026763

Application/Control Number: 10/840,862

Page 4

Art Unit: 2629
(104, fig. 1) allowing the screen to be viewed there through and capable of recognizing multiple
touch events that occur at different locations on the touch panel (see buttons locations, see
[0022]at a same time and to output this information to a host device (210, fig. 2); wherein the
touch panel includes a multipoint sensing arrangement configured to simultaneously detect and
monitor the touch events and a magnitude of those touch events at distinct points across the
touch panel.
As to claim 33, Vakil et al. disclose further, the transparent capacitive

sensing medium formed on a single side of a substrate (see [0016])
As to claim 34, Vakil et al. disclose further, the transparent capacitive
sensing medium formed on a transparent substrate ([see [0016]).
As to claim claim 35, Vakil et al. disclose further, wherein the transparent

substrate (102) is formed from glass (see opaque molded polymer housing (see [0021]).
As to claim 36, Vakil et al. disclose further, wherein the capacitive sensing medium is a
mutual capacitance sensing medium (see [0016]).
As to claim 37, Vakil et al. disclose further, the transparent capacitive sensing medium

formed on both sides of a single substrate (see [0016]).
Claim 39 is rejected as the same as claim 1.

Claims 41-45, 47-50 are rejected as the same as claims 33-37.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
5.

The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103(a) which forms the basis for all

obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not identically disclosed or described as set forth in
section 102 of this title, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented and the prior art are
such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a person

APLNDC00026764

Application/Control Number: 10/840,862

Page 5

Art Unit: 2629
having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains. Patentability shall not be negatived by the
manner in which the invention was made.

6.

Claims 2, 4-6, 15-20, 32, 38, 40 and 46 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being

unpatentable over Vakil et al. (US 2005/0007349) in view of Westerman et al. (US
2002/0015024).
As to claims 2, 15-20, 32, 38, 40 and 46, Vakil et al. do not disclose the capacitive sensing
nodes are based on self capacitance, and a virtual ground charge amplifier coupled to the touch
panel for detecting the touches on the touch panel. Westerman et al. disclose in fig. 2, a touch
panel comprising a capacitive sensing node (48) and an amplifier (35) coupled to the touch panel
for detecting the touches on the touch panel (see 0123).
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention

was made to implement the comprising a capacitive sensing node and an amplifier coupled to the
touch panel for detecting the touches on the touch panel as taught by Weste....---- et al. into the
touch system of Vakil et al. for producing the claimed invention because this would provide the
suggested speed up in sensor array scanning (see [0123]).
As to claim 4, Vakil et al. disclose further including one or more integrated circuits for
monitoring the capacitance at each of the electrodes, the integrated circuits being operatively
coupled to the electrodes via the traces (see [0017]).
As to claim 5, Vakil et al. disclose further wherein the electrodes are placed in rows and
columns (see fig. 1).
As to claim 6, Vakil et al. disclose further wherein the electrodes and traces are formed

from indium tin oxide (ITO) (see [0017]).

None of the cited art teaches or suggests that wherein the transparent ççndyçtiye lines of the first
laver are disnosed on a first class member. and wherein the transnarent conductive lines of the

seçond layer are disgosed on a seçondgass member, the firsgass member beingdisposed gyer
the second class member as claim 10; or the sensine lines beine configured to traverse across
the driving lines in order to form a capacitiye sensing node, the driving lines being conneçted to

a voltage source and the sensine lines beine connected to a canacitive sensine circuit. the voltage
sgyrçe driving a çurrent through one driving line at a time and because of capacitiye cogpling.

the current is carried through to the sensine lines at each of the canacitive sensine nodes as claim

21; or wherein the capacitiye sensing nodes are coupled to a capacitiye sensingeirçuit, and
wherein the canacitive sensine circuit monitors changes in canacitance that occurs at each of the
capacitiye sensing nodes, the10sition where çhanges çççyr and the magnityde of those çhanges

beine used to heln recognize the multinle touch events as claims 22; or a class member disnosed

Interview Summary

Paper No. 20090130

APLNDC00026774

Summary of Record of Interview Requirements
Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP), Section 713.04, Substance of Interview Must be Made of Record
A complete written statement as to the substance of any face-to-face, video conference, or telephone interview with regard to an application must be made of record in the
application whether or not an agreement with the examiner was reached at the interview.
Title 37 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 1.133 Interviews
Paragraph (b)

In every instance where reconsideration is requested in view of an interview with an examiner, a complete written statement of the reasons presented at the interview as
warranting favorable action must be filed by the applicant. An interview does not remove the necessity for reply to Office action as specified in §§ 1.111, 1.135. (35 U.S.C. 132)
37 CFR §1.2 Business to be transacted in writing.
All business with the Patent or Trademark Office should be transacted in writing. The personal attendance of applicants or their attorneys or agents at the Patent and
Trademark Office is unnecessary. The action of the Patent and Trademark Office will be based exclusively on the written record in the Office. No attention will be paid to
any alleged oral promise, stipulation, or understanding in relation to which there is disagreement or doubt.

The action of the Patent and Trademark Office cannot be based exclusively on the written record in the Office if that record is itself
incomplete through the failure to record the substance of interviews.
It is the responsibility of the applicant or the attorney or agent to make the substance of an interview of record in the application file, unless
the examiner indicates he or she will do so. It is the examiner's responsibility to see that such a record is made and to correct material inaccuracies
which bear directly on the question of patentability.
Examiners must complete an Interview Summary Form for each interview held where a matter of substance has been discussed during the
interview by checking the appropriate boxes and filling in the blanks. Discussions regarding only procedural matters, directed solely to restriction
requirements for which interview recordation is otherwise provided for in Section 812.01 of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure, or pointing
out typographical errors or unreadable script in Office actions or the like, are excluded from the interview recordation procedures below. Where the
substance of an interview is completely recorded in an Examiners Amendment, no separate Interview Summary Record is required.
The Interview Summary Form shall be given an appropriate Paper No., placed in the right hand portion of the file, and listed on the
"Contents" section of the file wrapper. In a personal interview, a duplicate of the Form is given to the applicant (or attorney or agent) at the
conclusion of the interview. In the case of a telephone or video-conference interview, the copy is mailed to the applicant's correspondence address
either with or prior to the next official communication. If additional correspondence from the examiner is not likely before an allowance or if other
circumstances dictate, the Form should be mailed promptly after the interview rather than with the next official communication.
The Form provides for recordation of the following information:
- Application Number (Series Code and Serial Number)
- Name of applicant
- Name of examiner
- Date of interview
- Type of interview (telephonic, video-conference, or personal)
- Name of participant(s) (applicant, attorney or agent, examiner, other PTO personnel, etc.)
- An indication whether or not an exhibit was shown or a demonstration conducted
- An identification of the specific prior art discussed
- An indication whether an agreement was reached and if so, a description of the general nature of the agreement (may be by
attachment of a copy of amendments or claims agreed as being allowable). Note: Agreement as to allowability is tentative and does
not restrict further action by the examiner to the contrary.
- The signature of the examiner who conducted the interview (if Form is not an attachment to a signed Office action)
It is desirable that the examiner orally remind the applicant of his or her obligation to record the substance of the interview of each case. It
should be noted, however, that the Interview Summary Form will not normally be considered a complete and proper recordation of the interview
unless it includes, or is supplemented by the applicant or the examiner to include, all of the applicable items required below concerning the
substance of the interview.
A complete and proper recordation of the substance of any interview should include at least the following applicable items:
1) A brief description of the nature of any exhibit shown or any demonstration conducted,
2) an identification of the claims discussed,
3) an identification of the specific prior art discussed,
4) an identification of the principal proposed amendments of a substantive nature discussed, unless these are already described on the
Interview Summary Form completed by the Examiner,
5) a brief identification of the general thrust of the principal arguments presented to the examiner,
(The identification of arguments need not be lengthy or elaborate. A verbatim or highly detailed description of the arguments is not
required. The identification of the arguments is sufficient if the general nature or thrust of the principal arguments made to the
examiner can be understood in the context of the application file. Of course, the applicant may desire to emphasize and fully
describe those arguments which he or she feels were or might be persuasive to the examiner.)
6) a general indication of any other pertinent matters discussed, and
7) if appropriate, the general results or outcome of the interview unless already described in the Interview Summary Form completed by
the examiner.
Examiners are expected to carefully review the applicant's record of the substance of an interview. If the record is not complete and
accurate, the examiner will give the applicant an extendable one month time period to correct the record.
Examiner to Check for Accuracy
If the claims are allowable for other reasons of record, the examiner should send a letter setting forth the examiner's version of the
statement attributed to him or her. If the record is complete and accurate, the examiner should place the indication, "Interview Record OK" on the
paper recording the substance of the interview along with the date and the examiner's initials.

REMARKS
Claims 4-7 and 13 have been amended. Claims 3, 14 and 29 have been cancelled.

Claims 27, 28, 30 and 31 are withdrawn. Claims 1, 2, 4-13, 15-26 and 32-50 remain in the
application. Reexamination and reconsideration of the application, as amended, are respectfully
requested.
Applicants wish to thank the Examiner, Ms. K. T. Nguyen, for the courtesy of a personal
interview conducted with the undersigned attorney on January 30, 2009. The arguments discussed
at the interview are summarized below.
Claims 4-6 have been amended to depend from claim 1 rather than cancelled claim 3.
Claim 7 has been amended to recite "wherein the capacitive monitoring circuitry is configured to
detect changes in charge coupling between the first conductive lines and the second conductive
lines." This amendment was made for purposes of clarification, and not for reasons of patentability.
Support for amended claim 7 may be found, for example, in paragraph [0043] of the published
application. Claim 13 has been amended to recite outputting touch event information "to form a
pixilated image," and to replace the phrase "magnitude of touch events" with the phrase "change in
capacitive coupling associated with touch events." The new language "to form a pixilated image"
was inserted for purposes of clarification, and not for reasons of patentability. Support for amended

claim 13 may be found, for example, in paragraphs [0044], [0091] and [0096] of the published
application. No new matter has been added.

Claims 1, 2, 7-9, 12, 13, 33-37, 39, 41-45 and 47-50 were rejected under 35 U.S.C.

102(e) as being anticipated by Vakil (US 2005/0007349). Claims 2, 4-6, 15-20, 32, 38, 40 and 46
were rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over Vakil in view of Westerman (US

2002/0015024).
These rejections are respectfully traversed. For reasons discussed at the interview and
briefly summarized below, the cited and applied references fail to disclose or suggest the
combination of elements defined by the claims.

Docket No.: 106842009000
P3266US1

For example, independent claims 1 and 39 are directed to a touch panel having a
transparent capacitive sensing medium configured to detect multiple touches or near touches that
occur at a same time and at distinct locations in a plane of the touch panel and to produce distinct
signals representative of a location of the touches on the plane of the touch panel for each of the
multiple touches. The transparent capacitive sensing medium comprises a transparent electrode

layer. The electrode layer includes multiple electrically isolated electrodes and electrode traces
formed from a transparent conductive material. Each of the electrodes is placed at different
locations in the plane of the touch panel. Each of the electrodes has an individual trace for
operatively coupling to capacitive monitoring circuitry.
As discussed and agreed upon at the interview, this combination of features is neither
disclosed nor suggested by Vakil. Vakil is only designed to detect a single touch on the keypad of a
mobile phone, for example, and cannot accurately detect multiple touches or produce distinct
signals representative of those touches. Because pressure is required to short two overlapping pad
segments together, Vakil is incapable of detecting near touches. Because all pad segments on any
one layer are connected together via a single trace, Vakil fails to disclose electrodes having
individual traces. Vakil discloses detecting a change in voltage to detect a touch, and therefore the
pad segments in Vakil are not coupled to capacitive monitoring circuitry. Furthermore, Westerman
does not make up for the deficiencies of Vakil.
As another example, independent claim 7 is directed to a touch panel comprising a
transparent capacitive sensing medium configured to detect multiple touches or near touches that
occur at a same time and at distinct locations in a plane of the touch panel and to produce distinct
signals representative of a location of the touches on the plane of the touch panel for each of the
multiple touches. The claimed transparent capacitive sensing medium comprises a first layer and a
second layer. The first layer has multiple transparent first conductive lines that are electrically
isolated from one another. The second layer is spatially separated from the first layer and has
multiple transparent second conductive lines that are electrically isolated from one another. The
second conductive lines are positioned transverse to the first conductive lines. The intersection of

transverse lines is positioned at different locations in the plane of the touch panel. Each of the
second conductive lines is operatively coupled to capacitive monitoring circuitry.
As discussed and agreed upon at the interview, this combination of features is neither

disclosed nor suggested by Vakil. Vakil is only designed to detect a single touch on the keypad of a
mobile phone, for example, and cannot accurately detect multiple touches or produce distinct
signals representative of those touches. Because pressure is required to short two overlapping pad
segments together, Vakil is incapable of detecting near touches. The pad segments and connecting
traces on the two layers in Vakil run parallel to each other, not transverse to each other. Vakil
discloses detecting a change in voltage to detect a touch, and therefore the pad segments in Vakil
are not coupled to capacitive monitoring circuitry. Furthermore, Westerman does not make up for

the deficiencies of Vakil.
As another example, independent claim 13 is directed to a display arrangement
comprising a display and a transparent touch panel. The display has a screen for displaying a
graphical user interface. The transparent touch panel allows the screen to be viewed therethrough
and is capable of recognizing multiple touch events that occur at different locations on the touch
panel at a same time and to output this information to a host device. The touch panel includes a
multipoint sensing arrangement configured to simultaneously detect and monitor the touch events
and a change in capacitive coupling associated with those touch events at distinct points across the
touch panel.
As discussed and agreed upon at the interview, this combination of features is neither
disclosed nor suggested by Vakil. Vakil is only designed to detect a single touch on the keypad of a
mobile phone, for example, and cannot accurately recognize multiple touches. Vakil discloses
detecting a change in voltage to detect a touch, and does not detect changes in capacitive coupling.
Furthermore, Westerman does not make up for the deficiencies of Vakil.
Thus, for the reasons stated above, the rejections of claims 1, 7, 13 and 39 (and the
claims that depend from these claims) have been traversed.

In view of the above, each of the presently pending claims in this application is believed
to be in immediate condition for allowance. Accordingly, the Examiner is respectfully requested to
withdraw the outstanding rejection of the claims and to pass this application to issue. If it is
det. .......ed that a telephone conference would expedite the prosecution of this application, the
Examiner is invited to telephone the undersigned at the number given below.
In the event the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office determines that an extension and/or
other relief is required, applicant petitions for any required relief including extensions of time and
authorizes the Commissioner to charge the cost of such petitions and/or other fees due in connection
with the filing of this document to Deposit Account No. 03-1952 referencing docket no.
