Determining one or more heights of one or more mobile devices above surfaces. Particular embodiments described herein include machines that retrieve first data (e.g., measurement value(s) determined by sensor(s) of a mobile device or estimated position(s) of the mobile device), determine a location context based on the first data, identify second data (e.g., measurement value(s) determined by sensor(s) of the mobile device or status indicator value(s) of feature(s) of the mobile device) to retrieve for use in determining an estimated height above a surface at which the mobile device is located based on the determined location context, retrieve the second data, and determine an estimated height above a surface at which the mobile device is located based on the retrieved second data.

Systems and methods for determining a height of a mobile device above a surface

A transparent display includes a display including a transparent substrate and a patterned diamond layer formed on the transparent substrate to at least in part define a diamond waveguide. At least two electronic devices can be connected by the diamond waveguide, and can include a sensor, a transducer, or electronic circuitry, including communication, control, or data processing electronic circuitry.

Methods and devices are provided for determining location of an input on a surface of a device using a plurality of acoustic sensing elements. An exemplary method comprises determining a current support configuration of the device, selecting a device acoustic signature corresponding to the current support configuration, measuring acoustic response corresponding to the input at each acoustic sensing element of the plurality of acoustic sensing elements, and determining the location of the input based on the measured acoustic responses and the selected device acoustic signature for the current support configuration.

Methods and devices for determining user input location based on device support configuration

Methods and devices are provided for determining location of an input on a surface of a device using an acoustic sensing element. An exemplary method begins by determining an anticipated acoustic response resulting from an output generated by a component of the device at the acoustic sensing element. The method continues by subtracting the anticipated acoustic response from a measured acoustic response at the acoustic sensing element to obtain a nominal acoustic response, and determining the location of the input based on the nominal acoustic response.

A touch system user interface determines a signal profile associated with the use of a manipulator with a touch sensor component. The signal profile corresponding to a plurality of signal levels along a surface of the touch sensor component. The system calculates a geometrical attribute of that portion of the signal profile that exceeds a threshold signal value (e.g., the area or shape of the region) and determines a type of the manipulator (e.g., stylus, human finger, etc.) based on the calculated geometrical attribute.
