The capacitive fingernail system may include a conductive base layer secured to the fingernail, a conductive upper layer, and a dielectric medium between the base and upper layers. The capacitive fingernail system stores an amount of charge that is sufficient to permit the fingernail to successfully interact with a capacitive touchscreen. Also disclosed is a fingernail stylus for use with a capacitive touchscreen, having a shaped conductive device that is pre-formed so that it can be secured to a curvature of a fingernail. The shaped conductive surface transfers an effective amount of electrical energy to successfully interact with a capacitive touchscreen. Preferably, the capacitive fingernail systems are sized and shaped to fit unobtrusively on a fingernail without interfering with everyday activity."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Fingernail system for use with capacitive touchscreens","description":"Capacitive fingernail systems adapted to fit on a fingernail and for use with a capacitive touchscreen, as well as methods of creating such systems, are disclosed.
