Abstract

Example implementations relate to determining a location using time difference of arrival (TDOA). For example, a computing device may include a first sensor to receive a signal at a first time, where the signal is generated by a user contact at a particular location on a keyboard associated with the computing device. The computing device also includes a second sensor to receive the signal at a second time and a third sensor to receive the signal at a third time. The computing device may also include a processor. The processor may calculate a set of TDOAs associated with the first time, the second time, and the third time. The processor may determine the particular location of the user contact using a triangulation based on the set of TDOAs and may identify a character on the keyboard, where the character is associated with the particular location.
