Noise Adaptive Force Touch

摘要

Disclosed herein is an electronic device having a force sensing device. The force sensing device receives a continuous force input which is translated into a discrete event. In order to more accurately determine the type of discrete event intended by a user, the electronic device is able to determine an amount of noise present in the electronic device and dynamically adjust force threshold values associated with the force sensing device.

主权项

1. A method for translating a continuous force input into a discrete event, the method comprising:
establishing a first force threshold and a second force threshold; determining one or more operating conditions of the electronic device; dynamically updating at least one of the first force threshold and the second force threshold based, at least in part, on the one or more operating conditions of the electronic device; and triggering the discrete event when the continuous force input exceeds the dynamically updated first threshold and falls below the dynamically updated second threshold.
