Abstract
An electronic device includes a user input surface configured to receive a user touch location and a user force input, one or more sensors positioned relative to the user input surface and configured to detect a force applied to the user input surface, and a controller in communication with the one or more sensors. The controller is configured to detect a first sensor response utilizing a first force applied to the user input surface via the one or more sensors and a first position of the first force applied, wherein the first position is relative to the user input surface, simulate a multi-finger force being applied by utilizing at least the first sensor response to form simulated multi-finger data, and deploy a model associated with the multi-finger force, wherein the model is utilized to output a predicted force and predicted location of an applied force relative to the input surface.
