Abstract
Grip management includes determining, using first changes of capacitance of a sensing region of an input device, a first signal level corresponding to a first input object satisfying a size threshold and being proximate to a first side of the input device at a first time, and determining a first signal level threshold based on the first signal level. The grip management further includes determining, using second changes of capacitance of the sensing region, a second signal level corresponding to the first input object being proximate to the first side of the input device at a second time, and detecting a squeeze of the input device based at least in part on the second signal level satisfying the first signal level threshold.
