Various embodiments include processing devices and methods for managing multisensor inputs on a mobile computing device. Various embodiments may include receiving multiple inputs from multiple touch sensors, identifying types of user interactions with the touch sensors from the multiple inputs, identifying sensor input data in a multisensor input data structure corresponding with the types of user interactions, and determining whether the multiple inputs combine as a multisensor input in an entry in the multisensor input data structure having the sensor input data related to a multisensor input response. Various embodiments may include detecting a trigger for a multisensor input mode, entering the multisensor input mode in response to detecting the trigger, and enabling processing of an input from a touch sensor.

Managing and mapping multi-sided touch

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to control of a user device under a wet condition. In some aspects, a user device may determine whether the user device is operating under a wet condition; select, based at least in part on whether the user device is operating under the wet condition, a set of input components to control the user device, wherein the set of input components is selected from a plurality of different sets of input components; and configure a user interface of the user device according to the set of input components. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Control of a user device under wet conditions

In some embodiments, a processor of the mobile computing device may receive an input for performing a function with respect to content at the mobile device in which the content at the mobile device is segmented into at least a first command layer having one or more objects and a second command layer having one or more objects. The processor may determine whether the received input is associated with a first object of the first command layer or a second object of the second command layer. The processor may determine a function to be performed on one of the first or second objects based on whether the first command layer or the second command layer is determined to be associated with the received input, and the processor may perform the determined function on the first object or the second object.

Methods of direct manipulation of multi-layered user interfaces

Methods, devices, non-transitory processor-readable media of various embodiments may enable contextual operation of a mobile computing device including a capacitive input sensor, which may be a rear area capacitive input sensor. In various embodiments, a processor of a mobile computing device including a rear area capacitive input sensor may monitor sensor measurements and generate an interaction profile based on the sensor measurements. The processor of the mobile computing device may determine whether the interaction profile is inconsistent with in-hand operation and may increase sensitivity of the capacitive input sensor in response to determining that the interaction profile is inconsistent with in-hand operation.

Methods for detecting device context in order to alter touch capacitance

Systems, methods, and devices for reducing shadow effects in touch systems are contained herein. In one aspect, a method of reducing shadow effects in a touch system is disclosed. The method includes receiving a touch input on a touch interface, determining a difference between a weighted mean of the touch input and an arithmetic mean of the touch input and adjusting an estimated touch position of the touch input based on the difference.

Methods, devices, and computer program products for using touch orientation to distinguish between users are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a method of identifying a user of a touch device from a plurality of users of the touch device is described. The method includes receiving touch data from a touch panel of the touch device, the touch data indicating a user's touch on the touch screen. The method further includes determining an orientation of the user's touch based on the received touch data. Finally, the method includes identifying the user of the plurality of users which touched the device, based at least in part on the orientation of the touch.

System and method for using touch orientation to distinguish between users of a touch panel

As part of a video encoding or decoding operation on video data, a video coder performs a coding operation for a current video unit of the video data. As part of performing the coding operation for the current video unit, the video coder determines the availabilities of one or more video units that neighbor the current video unit. In order to determine the availability of a video unit that neighbors the current video unit, the video coder identifies, based on availabilities of video units that neighbor a parent video unit of the current video unit, an entry in a lookup table. The identified entry indicates the availability of the video unit that neighbors the current video unit. The video coder then performs a coding operation on the current video unit based on whether the video unit that neighbors the current video unit is available.

Detecting availabilities of neighboring video units for video coding

Systems and methods are disclosed for determining a touch position from data received from a touch panel. In one implementation, an apparatus for processing a touch input signal includes a processor that may be configured for parallel processing, a touch device, a memory, operably connected to the processor, and configured to store processor instructions. The processor instructions can configure the processor to receive a plurality of data points corresponding to a plurality of touch events on the touch device, determine a center of mass estimate from the plurality of data points, determine a search radius of center of mass estimate, and determine an optimal touch point position based on the center of mass estimate and the search radius using the processor.

Optimization for host based touch processing

Systems and methods for host-augmented touch-sensing are disclosed. The energy-efficiency of a touch sensitive device may be improved by dynamically adjusting the scanning sensitivity of the touch sensor based on host-augmented environmental information such as temperature, pressure, position, orientation, humidity, force, or battery charging mode.

System and method for host-augmented touch processing

Systems and methods for context-based touch-sensing and processing are disclosed. The energy-efficiency of a touch sensitive device may be improved by dynamically adjusting the function of the touch sensitive surface in real-time based on contextual information such as expected QoS, expected user input in defined regions-of-interest of the touch sensitive surface, and usage modalities of the touch sensitive device.
