Abstract
A method includes receiving signals from force-sensing resistors, detecting a touch on a touch-sensitive display and determining a location of the touch, receiving, from force-sensing resistors, signals related to the touch, and calibrating the force-sensing resistors by adjusting the gain for a first force-sensing resistor, of the force-sensing resistors, based on at least the signals and the location of the touch.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- detecting a touch on a touch-sensitive display and determining a location of the touch;
- receiving, from force-sensing resistors, signals related to the touch;
- calibrating the force-sensing resistors by adjusting the gain for a first force-sensing resistor of the force-sensing resistors, based on at least the signals and the location of the touch.
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display;
- a plurality of force-sensing resistors;
- a processor, operably coupled to the touch-sensitive display and to the force-sensing resistors, to determine a location of a touch on the touch-sensitive display, receive, from force-sensing resistors, signals related to the touch, and calibrate the force-sensing resistors by adjusting the gain for a first force-sensing resistor of the force-sensing resistors, based on at least the signals and the location of the touch.
