Abstract
A system for determining a fold angle of a foldable device includes a plurality of electrodes and a processing system. The plurality of electrodes includes at least one first electrode and at least one second electrode, wherein the at least one second electrode is farther from a fold line of the foldable device than the at least one first electrode. The processing system is configured to: obtain at least one first absolute capacitance measurement via the at least one first electrode and at least one second absolute capacitance measurement via the at least one second electrode; and determine a fold angle of the foldable device based on the at least one first absolute capacitance measurement and the at least one second absolute capacitance measurement.
