Samsung selects Cypress' optical navigation
sys for its Android phones
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has announced that Samsung
Electronics Company Ltd. has selected the OvationONS II
optical navigation system for its Android-based Intercept
phones for the optical track pad modules inside the Intercept
for easy and intuitive single-handed screen and menu navigation.
Cypress says its PSoC-based OvationONS II enables a fully-contained
optical finger navigation module system that includes a
laser, sensor and processor and employs Cypress's patented
OptiCheck technology-a proprietary, speckle-based two-dimensional
comb array technology-to determine finger motion and provide
highly accurate and reliable user navigation interfaces
for mobile devices.
"We're excited to see a world leader such as Samsung
adopt our optical technology, which provides a superior
solution for single-handed navigation in a phone" said
Dinesh Ramanathan, executive vice president of Cypress's
Data Communications Division. "We're confident that
users will appreciate the difference in performance and
ease-of-use the OvationONS II provides."
