Adjusting touch input force threshold

A computing device, comprising:

• a force sensing touchpad;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
• receive a plurality of contacts on the touchpad;
• for each contact of the plurality of contacts, determine an area of touch of the contact;
• determine an adjusted force threshold for touch input based at least on the areas of touch of the plurality of contacts;
• receive another contact on the touchpad;
• determine a touch force of the another contact;
• determine that the touch force of the another contact exceeds the adjusted force threshold for touch input;
• and
• based at least on determining that the touch force exceeds the adjusted force threshold, register a touch input on the touchpad.

A computing device, comprising:

• a force sensing touchpad comprising an array of sensors, wherein a connected sensor grouping is defined as two or more of the sensors adjacent to one another and registering contact on the touchpad;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
• receive a plurality of contacts on the touchpad;
• for each contact of the plurality of contacts, determine an area of touch of the contact;
• determine a sensitivity level of the touchpad;
• determine a number of connected sensor groupings corresponding to the plurality of contacts;
• determine an adjusted force threshold for touch input based at least on the areas of touch of the plurality of contacts, the sensitivity level of the touchpad, and the number of connected sensor groupings;
• receive another contact on the touchpad;
• determine a touch force of the another contact;
• determine that the touch force of the another contact exceeds the adjusted force threshold for touch input;
• and
• based at least on determining that the touch force exceeds the adjusted force threshold, register a touch input on the touchpad.
