Abstract:
1. A method comprising: detecting a first touch at a first location and a second touch at a second location on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device; determining a first force value on the touch-sensitive display utilizing a first sensor of the electronic device and a second force value on the touch-sensitive display utilizing a second sensor of the electronic device, the first force value and the second force value being determined at a time when the first touch and the second touch are both detected; determining a first applied force value for the first touch and a second applied force value for the second touch by utilizing a force balance technique utilizing the first force value and the second force value, and by utilizing a torque balance technique utilizing the first force value, the second force value, and distances, along respective coordinate axes of each of the first touch and the second touch from the first sensor and the second sensor.
