`
`HARRISBURG, Pa. – December 4, 2008 – Tyco Electronics Elo
`TouchSystems, a global leader in touch technology, has developed a
`proprietary technology that enables realtime, twofinger gesture
`recognition on analog resistive touchscreens. The new technology,
`named Resistive Gestures, provides a richer user experience via
`intuitive gestures which until now had been possible only with higher
`end, costlier technologies such as projected capacitive. Consisting
`only of an enhanced controller and firmware set, the technology can
`be quickly integrated into analog resistive touchscreen systems. This
`new technology allows current resistive technologybased device
`manufacturers to costeffectively develop nextgeneration products
`with enhanced applications.
`
`In recent years, a performance increase in small formfactor
`electronics has enabled the development of a wide range of mobile
`devices including smart phones, navigation (GPS – global positioning
`system), wireless hospitality scanners and others to become more
`mainstream. These also have been migrating from mechanical input
`interfaces to touchbased interfaces. Various touch technologies exist
`that try to enhance the user experience and simplify the functionality
`of the devices but a large gap remains among them. While analog
`resistive touch technology provides low cost, low power consumption
`and multiple input methods, its functionality has been limited to
`single touch. Projected capacitive on the other hand, provides multi
`touch functionality, but at a higher cost, higher power consumption,
`and fingeronly input. To bridge this gap between low cost/low power
`and multitouch with multiple input methods, the new Elo Resistive
`Gestures technology leverages the benefits of analog resistive
`touchscreens coupled with advanced software algorithms to enable
`twofinger gestures for multimedia rich devices. The Elo Resistive
`Gestures technology provides device manufacturers with an
`alternative to provide virtually the same rich user experience of
`multitouch projected capacitive screens at a lower price and with
`faster integration.
`
`"Elo continues to leverage our leadership and innovation to deliver on
`our commitment to provide an advantage to touch technology
`customers," commented Mark Mendenhall, vice president, Tyco
`Electronics and general manager, Elo TouchSystems. "Our new
`Resistive Gestures technology will provide mobile touch device
`makers with a valueadded, costcompetitive touch interface
`alternative."
`
`Elo Resistive Gestures technology supports twofinger zoom and two
`finger scrolling, anchor and rotate gestures, plus standard single
`finger gestures including pan and flip. Evaluations of the technology
`are currently underway with various strategic partners and it is also
`being demonstrated at the Microsoft WinHEC2008 Conference in the
`Elo TouchSystems booth (#5) December 910, 2008, Taipei
`International Conference Center, Taipei, Taiwan. Companies
`interested in evaluating the technology are encouraged to contact Elo
`TouchSystems at (650)3614817 or submit an online request for
`more information.
