Touch-sensitive user input device failure prediction

摘要

Detection of degradation of a touch-based user input device may allow for notifying a user of an impending failure of the touch-sensitive user input device so that the device may be taken out of service or repaired. Systems for detecting degradation of a touch-based user input device may carry out one or more operations including, but not limited to: determining that a signal indicative of a user touch is erroneous; providing a user notification indicative of a degradation of the touch-based user input device in response to determining that a signal indicative of a user touch is erroneous.

主权项

1. A method for detecting degradation of a touch-based user input device comprising:
determining that a portion of the touch-based user input device is degraded based on two or more received signals of the touch-based user input device, the two or more received signals being indicative of one or more user touches; and providing a user notification indicative of a degradation of the touch-based user input device in response to determining that a portion of the touch-based user input device is degraded based on two or more received signals of the touch-based user input device.
