Claim One:
1. An input device comprising: an input surface; and a processor configured to: determine, in response to a detected touch input to the input surface, a contact centroid relative to at least three points of contact on the input surface; determine a grouped contact centroid relative to a subset of the at least three points of contact; determine, based on a detected force input to the input surface, a grouped force vector relative to the contact centroid and the grouped contact centroid; assign a force input magnitude to each of the points of contact of the subset based, at least in part, on the grouped force vector; and providing each force input magnitude and the detected touch input as user input to an electronic device; wherein the subset comprises at least two points of contact; and the subset comprises at least one fewer point of contact than the at least three points of contact.
