Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBH
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An electronic device comprising:
a user input surface configured to receive a user touch location and a user force input; and
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, wherein 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 and the first sensor response identifies both an x-position and a y-position;
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 user input surface.
