ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING FORCE TOUCH AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18224868 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING FORCE TOUCH AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for identifying the force associated with a touch input on an electronic device.

  • The method involves receiving touch inputs from a user and obtaining feature information for these inputs.
  • A set of force touch models is obtained, which are designed to identify force touch.
  • Second feature information is obtained from training data used to train the force touch models.
  • The method then determines the most suitable force touch model based on the similarity between the second feature information and the first feature information obtained from the user's touch input.
  • Finally, the method uses the determined force touch model to identify the force touch for the user's touch input.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of identifying, in an electronic device, a force associated with a touch input of a user is provided. The method includes receiving at least one touch input from the user; obtaining first feature information for the at least one touch input; obtaining a plurality of force touch models configured to identify force touch; obtaining second feature information for at least one touch input included in training data used to train the plurality of force touch models; determining, from among the plurality of force touch models, a force touch model based on a similarity between the second feature information and the first feature information; and identifying, based on the determined force touch model, a force touch for the at least one touch input of the user.
