Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause processor circuitry of a compute device to at least:
detect a first touch by a user on a surface of the compute device at a first time based on signals output by a microphone of the compute device;
detect a second touch by the user on the surface of the compute device at a second time based on the signals;
determine a first location of the first touch based on the signals;
perform a comparison of first time relative to the second time;
determine an orientation of the surface of the compute device based on signals output by a device orientation sensor;
correlate the first touch with a gesture based on the first location, the comparison of the first time relative to the second time, and the orientation of the surface;
interpret the gesture as a user input; and
cause a response to the user input.
