Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques and apparatuses are described that perform screen protector presence detection. In example aspects, an electronic device detects the presence (or absence) of a screen protector based on touch screen data provided by a touch screen during a time period that a user performs a touch-based gesture. With the touch screen data, screen protector presence detection can be performed without the need for additional sensors and without placing manufacturing requirements on the screen protector. Furthermore, this technique can support the detection of a variety of different screen protectors, including screen protectors with different types of materials and thicknesses.
