In order to support the three screen devices (mobile phones, computers and TVs) in the era of cloud computing in the future, Elan exhibited various kinds of devices at COMPUTEX in Taipei 2010. With capacitive multi-finger touch as the main man-machine interface, including capacitive multi-finger touch panel (Smart-Touchscreen), capacitive 3D pressure sensor (Smart-3DForceSensor), touch smart 3D remote control (Smart- 3D Remote Control), Smart-Keyboard with multi-finger touchpad and capacitive pen. With unique new products for touch applications, we look forward to providing customers with solutions with the best price-performance ratio and enhancing the competitiveness of their products.

Multi-finger touch operation interface has obviously become the standard equipment of many consumer electronic products. Its penetration is very strong, ranging from smart phones, NetBooks, general laptops (NB), satellite navigation devices (PND), tablet computers (Table PC), to medium and large touch screens (Touch Screen), etc. All provide users with such a very practical and fashionable operation interface. Elan Electronics stated that since Apple introduced the iPhone and iPod Touch with capacitive multi-touch panels (Multi-Touch), then Google Phone and RIM BlackBerrys have adopted multi-finger touch panels. Microsoft also announced Windows 7 is a new operating system that supports multi-finger touch, and Apple has recently launched the iPad. The craze for multi-finger touch panels will extend to medium and large-sized touch screens, becoming a new trend in the consumer electronics industry.

ELAN has grasped the market trend and launched the unique capacitive multi-finger touch patented technology eFinger. The capacitive multi-finger touch panel solution developed by eFinger, which integrates optical, electronic and mechanical technologies, has won many well-known mobile phones at home and abroad And used by PND/GPS major manufacturers. With the support of Microsoft’s WINDOWS 7 craze, ELAN has developed eFinger technology to medium and large sizes, and has passed Windows 7 multi-finger touch certification, and will be supplied to major computer manufacturers for manufacturing. The multi-finger touch panel computer can also be applied to the very popular electronic book (eBook) recently. Multi-finger touch emphasizes the operation mode of intelligent man-machine interface. Therefore, in the future, portable device manufacturers and computer manufacturers will gradually adopt the operation mode of multi-finger touch module solutions.

The large-size Smart-Touchscreen developed by Elan Electronics is not only Multi-touch, but also has Ghost-Free technology, which effectively solves the problem of misjudgment in multi-finger touch, such as when rotating graphics or maps clockwise or counterclockwise. Misoperation can also be applied to multi-finger operation applications such as guitars, pianos, etc. Now the Palm Rejection function is added, which can effectively eliminate false touches caused by palms, allowing users to intuitively operate on the panel without worry Touch by mistake. At the same time, it also cooperated with the display of the world's only successfully developed capacitive pen product (eStylus), which opened up the application field of using small icons similar to QWERTY keyboard and digital tablet on capacitive touch panels, and can be used as handwriting The signature action makes the touch interface more diversified and provides users with more convenient choices.

Another new product is a capacitive 3D pressure sensor, which adopts 360-degree omnidirectional pressure sensing. It has multiple functions such as mouse, joystick, jog dial, analog switch, and click. It can be widely used in smart phones, Tablet computers, digital cameras, digital cameras, digital photo frames, mobile network devices, e-books, handheld game consoles, MP3/PMP, etc. Elan Electronics stated that it has successfully developed a touch-sensitive smart 3D remote control (Smart-3D Remote Control) with a unique capacitive multi-finger touch patented technology eFinger and a capacitive 3D pressure sensor, which is applied to network interactive input devices on.

The smart 3D remote control has a built-in capacitive 3D pressure sensor and a capacitive multi-finger touchpad, providing multi-mode control and input functions, including mouse/cursor control mode (Mouse/Cursor Control Mode), game handle/wheel mode (Joystick/ Jog Wheel Control Mode, Virtual Keyboard Mode, Handwriting Mode, Multi-fingers Gestures Mode and other modes are combined into one, which can satisfy Window 7 multimedia computers (All-in-one PC) and Internet TV (IPTV) provide various online service requirements, such as online web browsing, online 3D games, online chat, online shopping/network information services, network maps Search, electronic program window search, etc.

This product has overturned the traditional one-to-one use of remote control and simple button mode. Its interactive input function and convenient operation interface of gesture control allow service operators to design and provide richer service content, and also make users very comfortable. Easy to control and enjoy various wonderful services provided by operators. The ingenuity of this design activates the man-machine interface, which is in line with the current multi-purpose and multi-finger touch and 3D operating characteristics of the current machine. It satisfies the interactive and easy control of using Window 7 multimedia computers and network TVs, allowing users to It is more practical and convenient to operate the TV network audio-visual service in the living room.

ELAN Smart-3D Remote Control is already applicable to Microsoft’s new OS Windows Embedded Standard 7, which can be used as a remote control/mouse/multi-finger touch/game joystick/keyboard and handwriting input And other functions, it is very suitable for the Multiple in One smart remote control that is easy to operate/easy to use in the living room. At the same time, because of the integration of multiple devices, only one-fifth of the original materials is needed. The era when the awareness of environmental protection is gradually rising Great profits.

Next is the Smart-Keyboard with a multi-finger touchpad and capacitive pen, which combines Multi-fingers Gesture function, Handwriting function, Tenkeys simulated function, Multi-media function (Multi-media function) and mouse function (Mouse function) are integrated into one device. Users can simply use this device to operate Window 7 multimedia computers and Internet TVs, and then through the 2.4GHz wireless transmission interface (RF interface), It has the ability to transmit and receive data without direction limitation, and achieve remote control.

The multi-finger operation function of this new smart keyboard can be used in multimedia applications such as Rotate, Zoom In/Zoom Out charts, pictures and screens, and switch the top/next page (Swipe Left/ Right, Page Up/Down), scroll (Scroll)/slide (Slide) screen...etc, make the user more intuitive when operating. ELAN’s touch-sensitive smart 3D remote control and smart keyboard with multi-finger touchpad and capacitive pen will be launched on the market with the concept of Total Solution, which can assist in the design of the system process according to the customer’s "requirements" And planning.
