No matter the smartphone brand you prefer; We have all encountered problems to type things because of tiny keys on the screen for the keyboard. The search for Eth Zürich could mean fewer typing errors on the smartphones of the future. The researchers have developed a new solution have allowing the touch screen to detect with eight times more than the current devices.

Their solution can infer much more precisely where the fingers are on the touch screen. The researchers of the project indicate that the challenge with the typing on modern smartphones is that the touch sensors that detect where the fingers are on the screen did not change much since the mid-2000s. Although these sensors did not change Many, the screens themselves have improved considerably with greater resolution and greater loyalty.

Although the resolution of the last iPhone screen is 2532 × 1170, the touch sensor has a 32 × 15 pixel resolution of 32 x 15 pixels. Capacitive touch screens detect the position of the fingers using the modifications of the electric field between the sensor lines to detect the proximity of the finger when you touch the surface of the screen.

The team says because capacitive detection captures proximity, it is not able to detect the real contact of the fingers. The method proposed by the team is called Capconnect and combines two approaches. The Tech uses the touch screen as an image sensor that can see about eight millimeters away and a depth camera that records an image of the proximity of objects. Capconnect exploits the insight to accurately detect contact areas between fingers and surfaces with a deep learning algorithm built by the team.

The team has shown that their system reliably distinguishes the surface on the surfaces even when the fingers closely touch the screen closely, as in a pinch gesture. The researchers believe that the IA solution could pave the way for a new touch sensation in the future for mobile phones and tablets, allowing them to operate more reliably and accurately while reducing the imprint and the complex city of The manufacture of sensors.
