Kyocera has obtained patents for "Air Gesture Technology" where you can operate an electronic device without touching it.
In the late 1990s, users pressed physical buttons in order to operate mobile phones. With the advent of smartphones, this was changed to pressing touch panels instead.
Now, there is a new way to use smartphones that is getting attention. It is "Air Gesture Technology."
You can operate a device even if your hand is dirty or wet. This technology will be practical to use in many fields.
With "Air Gesture Technology", you can operate an electronic device by moving your hand over the device without directly touching it.
Using this technology, you can operate your smartphone sanitarily without touching the screen even when your hand is dirty while you are cooking and when your hand is wet while you are in a bath tub. Furthermore, if this technology is used in a car's touchscreen, for example, you can operate the car's navigation system and other functions safely without changing your position while you are driving.
Kyocera has obtained many patents for this "Air Gesture Technology." "Air Gesture Technology" is effective not only with smartphones but also in touchscreen displays in cars and other devices. There are many practical applications of this technology in different fields to be considered.
Kyocera will continue developing this "Air Gesture Technology" while pursuing patent protection for its advancements, thus aiming to further expand our portfolio in the future.
