Abstract
A tactile control device and method for generating a modifier through the use of fuzzy logic for modifying control data responsive to a user's tactile input with the device are disclosed. The system may include one or more measurements corresponding to one or more interfering factors, a source of control data representative of a command generated in response to the user's tactile interaction, and a processing unit (PU). The PU may be configured to receive input data representative of at least one measurement corresponding to a measurement(s) of an interfering factor, determine a plurality of values based upon the measurement(s) and a plurality of first functions, determine a control data modifier based upon the plurality of values, and generate data representative of the modifier, where the modifier may be applied to the control data or data correspond to the control data.
