Claim 0:
1. A system for detecting a touch input force, comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a disturbed version of a propagating signal, and the disturbed version of the propagating signal includes the propagating signal that propagated from an originating location on a propagating medium with a surface to a touch input location on the surface where the propagating signal was disturbed by a touch input with an amount of force on the surface; and
a processor configured to process the received disturbed version of the propagating signal to determine a magnitude identifier associated with the amount of force, wherein processing the received disturbed version of the propagating signal includes normalizing the received disturbed version of the propagating signal originating on the propagating medium from the originating location different from the touch input location, and normalizing the received disturbed version of the propagating signal includes scaling an initial amplitude of the received disturbed version of the propagating signal using a value determined using a distance value associated with the touch input location of the disturbance by the touch input on the surface that is different from the originating location of the propagating signal.
