Method and device for sensing pressure applied to a screen with at least one sensor means

Abstract

The invention describes a device (), in particular multimedia device, and a method, wherein the device at least comprises a screen (), a processor unit () and at least one pressure sensor means (), wherein the pressure sensor means () is mounted on a rigid element (), wherein the rigid element () is more rigid than the screen (), wherein the rigid element () is arranged on one side of the sensor means () and wherein the screen () is arranged on an opposing side of the sensor means (), wherein a location detection unit () is provided, wherein the location detection unit () is configured to output a location signal, wherein the location signal provides location information for identifying the location where pressure is applied to the screen (), wherein the pressure sensor means () is configured to output a pressure signal, wherein the pressure signal provides pressure information about the pressure measured by the pressure sensor means (), wherein the processor unit () determines a pressure value for the pressure applied to the screen () by means of a location-pressure-function, wherein the location-pressure-function defines at least a dependency between the location information and the pressure information and wherein the processor unit () causes a function, an operation or an effect in dependency of the pressure value.
