Claim 7:
8. A compute device comprising:
a housing having an exterior surface;
a microphone array including a first microphone, a second microphone, and a third microphone;
memory;
machine readable instructions; and
processor circuitry to execute the machine readable instructions to:
determine a first location of a first touch and a second location of a second touch by a user on the exterior surface based on (a) microphone signals output by the first microphone, the second microphone, and the third microphone and (b) a first distance between the first microphone and the second microphone, a second distance between the second microphone and the third microphone, and a third distance between the third microphone and the first microphone;
perform a comparison of a time between the first touch and the second touch to a time threshold;
correlate the first touch with a first gesture based on the first location when the time is greater than the time threshold;
correlate the first touch and the second touch with a second gesture based on the first location and the second location when the time is less than the time threshold; and
cause a response to the first gesture or the second gesture.
