Revolutionary solid surface touch interfaces enhance driver user experience by moving core functions from the display to easy access touch points

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, UltraSense Systems, an emerging leader in automotive semiconductor Human Machine Interface (HMI) Controllers and HMI touch system designs, announced its TouchPoint Q Controller is now being experienced by consumers in numerous SUV and sedan production vehicles.

Through its collaboration with Korean tier-supplier Mobase Electronics Co. Ltd, UltraSense TouchPoint Q Controller augments Mobase's capacitive technology by detecting specific force patterns and thresholds for the infotainment system in 2024 (Korea models) and 2025 (global models) of Genesis GV80, GV70 and G80 SUV and sedan platforms, improving the driver experience with a premium solid surface and robust touch interface. 

In partnership with BCS Automotive Interface Solutions (BCS-AIS) in China, UltraSense TouchPoint Q Controller was added to capacitive touch steering wheels for several models of vehicles from FAW Group, the second largest of the "Big Four" state-owned car manufacturers of China. Models in production with steering wheels using UltraSense include Hongqi's EV platforms EH7, EH7 convertible and the EHS7 SUV.

UltraSense TouchPoint Q Controller was selected for its unique piezoelectric properties over parallel plate capacitive, optical and piezoresistive force-sensing technologies including:

  • low sensitivity to temperature changes;
  • immunity to mechanical stress and aging stress over time;
  • true solid surface force detection without visual surface displacement;
  • supreme force sensitivity from coalesced piezo MEMS strain sensor with ASIC MCU;
  • ability for one controller to sense force for several buttons at a time;
  • more liberal design freedom;
  • and wider manufacturing tolerances without multiple stages of calibration.

"For steering wheels, we were looking for a solution that could detect force for many buttons at the same time. UltraSense TouchPoint Q Controller provided us a cost-effective way to use just one controller for all buttons in the steering wheel switch box," added Tim Zhou, R&D Director at BCS-AIS.

"OEMs are starting to require force touch to be integrated with capacitive touch sensing to eliminate potential false triggers due to inadvertent touches or ambient interferences. UltraSense TouchPoint Q Controller allowed us to quickly adopt and ramp up production," said SM Park, Director of R&D for Mobase Electronics.

"We are delighted with the rapid adoption of our portfolio of UltraSense TouchPoint HMI Controllers by our esteemed tier-supplier partners," said Mo Maghsoudnia, Founder and CEO of UltraSense Systems. "Our goal is to continually make life easier for our customers by providing comprehensive easy-to-integrate HMI controllers and holistic HMI system design modules that seamlessly integrate solid surface touch interfaces into modern vehicle interiors and exteriors."

UltraSense Systems will be demonstrating many of its TouchPoint HMI Controllers and HMI touch system designs at InCabin USA 2024, May 21st to 23rd at Huntington Place in downtown Detroit.
