Abstract
A method to detect a hands off status of a user input device is disclosed. The method comprising filtering a sensed force, acting on the user input device, using a first lag filter to provide a first output, the lag filter comprising a first lag time constant. Filtering the sensed force using a second lag filter, substantially in parallel with the first filter, to provide a second output, the second lag filter comprising a second lag time constant greater than the first lag time constant. Comparing with a first threshold value, in a first comparison, a magnitude of a difference between the first output and the second output. Comparing with a second threshold value, in a second comparison, a magnitude of the second output. Designating the user device to have a hands off status based on the first comparison and the second comparison.
