Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series
of 55 newly granted patents for Apple. In this particular report we
cover Apple's original patent filing related to force sensors that may
one day be used in Apple's Magic Mouse for gaming, paint and other
applications. Apple's R&D on this project may have led to their
eventual work on Force Touch for the Apple Watch and other iDevices.
Granted Patent: Force Sensors
Apple's newly granted patent covers their invention relating to force
sensors, and more specifically relates to improved force sensors sized
and configured to be suitable for inclusion in a hand-held device, and
to methods for constructing such input devices; and further to methods
for sensing deflection in an input device as an indictor of direction of
movement of the input device.
Apple's patent FIG. 1 depicts a representation of an input device
(mouse) in association with a computer in one common operating
environment and configuration; FIGS. 2A-B depicts a schematic
representation of one example of a force sensor. FIG. 7 depicts a flow
chart identifying one example of a method for operating an input device
utilizing a force sensor.
