Abstract
A processing system for a force sensing device, including: sensor circuitry that receives resulting signals from force sensors; and processing circuitry that: determines a first location of a first input object and a second location of a second input object on a surface; determines force values for the force sensors based on the resulting signals; obtains a first plurality of expected force values for the force sensors based on the first location and a second plurality of expected force values for the force sensors based on the second location; executes a first comparison of the first plurality of expected force values to the force values; executes a second comparison of the second plurality of expected force values to the force values; and determines, based on the first comparison and the second comparison, that the first input object is applying an input force to the surface.
