Claim 8:
9. The sensors system of claim 8, further comprising:
determining a first force measurement of a first sensor based on a generated electrical signal of the first sensor;
determining a second force measurement of a second sensor based on a generated electrical signal of the second sensor;
determining the total applied force based on the first force measurement and the second force measurement;
determining the first relative magnitude of the first sensing region based on the first force measurement, a first area of the first sensing region, and at least a portion of a total area of the sensing area;
determining the second relative magnitude of the second sensing region based on the second force measurement, the first area of the first sensing region, and at least the portion of the total area of the sensing area;
determining a first regional confidence factor for the first sensing region based on the first relative magnitude, and the total applied force;
determining a second regional confidence factor for the second sensing region based on the second relative magnitude, and the total applied force; and
determining a raw confidence factor based on the first regional confidence factor and the second regional confidence factor.
