Claim 13:
14. The sensor system of claim 13, wherein performing the non-discrete correction algorithm further comprises:
determining that the first sensing region is a correct sensing region based on the first regional confidence factor;
determining that the second sensing region is an incorrect sensing region based on the second regional confidence factor;
determining an activation area of the incorrect sensing region based on an activated state of the second sensor;
determining a force distribution of the incorrect sensing region based on the peak generated electrical signal of the second sensor;
calculating a corrected corresponding peak force measurement of the incorrect sensing region based on the activation area and force distribution of the incorrect sensing region;
determining a corrected regional confidence factor for the incorrect sensing region based on the second relative magnitude, the corrected corresponding peak force measurement for the incorrect sensing region, and the total applied force;
determining the corrected confidence factor by averaging the first regional confidence factor of the correct sensing region and the corrected regional confidence factor of the incorrect sensing region; and
determining if the corrected confidence factor is below the threshold confidence factor.
