Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An electronic device comprising:
a microphone array;
memory;
machine readable instructions; and
processor circuitry to execute the machine readable instructions to:
detect a first acoustic event based on signals output by the microphone array, the first acoustic event indicative of a first touch by a user on a surface of the electronic device at a first time;
detect a second acoustic event based on the signals, the second acoustic event indicative of a second touch by the user on the surface at a second time, the second time occurring after the first time;
determine a first location of the first touch and a second location of the second touch relative to the surface based on the signals;
identify a duration between the first time and the second time relative to a threshold period of time;
identify a first gesture based on the first location of the first touch when the duration is greater than the threshold period of time;
identify a second gesture based on the first location of the first touch and the second location of the second touch when the duration is within the threshold period of time; and
cause an output at the electronic device in response to the first gesture or the second gesture.
