Abstract: A contactless input method for an electronic device or other equipment, including projecting focused light beams from a series of locations along an edge of a control panel including a matrix of controls for an electronic device or other equipment, across a plane in an airspace in front of the controls, whereby the projected light beams traverse an area equal in size to the area of the matrix, detecting reflections of the projected light beams reflected by an object inserted into the plane, identifying which light beams are reflected, further identifying an angle at which the detected light beams are reflected, calculating a location in the plane at which the object is inserted based on the detecting, identifying and further identifying, and outputting the calculated location from the sensor to the electronic device or other equipment as an actuated corresponding location on the control panel.

Abstract: A proximity sensor including a housing, light emitters mounted in the housing for projecting light out of the housing along a detection plane, light detectors mounted in the housing for detecting amounts of light entering the housing along the detection plane, whereby for each emitter-detector pair (E, D), when an object is located at a target position p(E, D) in the detection plane, corresponding to the pair (E, D), then the light emitted by emitter E is scattered by the object and is expected to be maximally detected by detector D, and a processor to synchronously activate emitter-detector pairs, to read the detected amounts of light from the detectors, and to calculate a location of the object in the detection plane from the detected amounts of light, in accordance with a detection-location relationship that relates detections from emitter-detector pairs to object locations between neighboring target positions in the detection plane.
