Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a touch screen assembly including a piezoelectric sensor at least indirectly connected to a touchable lens surface; a different sensor; and at least one processing device connected at least indirectly to the piezoelectric sensor and to the different sensor, wherein the at least one processing device is configured to determine whether an actuation of the piezoelectric sensor is invalid based at least in part upon information received by the processing device from the different sensor, and wherein the at least one processing device is configured to cause the electronic device to refrain from performing, or to perform, at least one operation upon making a determination that the actuation is invalid, wherein the at least one processing device is configured to determine whether the actuation is invalid based at least in part upon whether a component of a motion normal to a plane of the touchable lens surface exceeds a predetermined threshold, the motion being experienced by the electronic device and being detected by way of the different sensor.
