Claim:
1. A method, comprising: receiving sensory information associated with an object in proximity to, or in contact with, an input device including receiving at least three different levels of interaction differentiation comprising a proximity level of interaction differentiation, an electrical continuity level of interaction differentiation, and an actuation level of interaction differentiation; analyzing the at least one level of interaction differentiation, comprising: determining a command from the sensory information based on a combination of the at least three levels of interaction differentiation, wherein a respective command for each combination of the at least three levels of interaction differentiation is distinguishable from other respective commands for other combinations of the at least three levels of interaction differentiation, comprising interpreting the command selected from different sets of commands based on whether the interaction differentiation is the proximity level, the electrical continuity level, or the actuation level; and outputting an action indication based on the command.
