Abstract:
A device configured to sense a touch on a surface of the device. The device includes a cover and a force-sensing structure disposed below the cover. The force-sensing structure may be positioned below a display and used in combination with other force-sensing elements to estimate the force of a touch on the cover of a device.

Claim (Index 14):
An electronic device, comprising:\n a housing defining an opening; a cover disposed over the opening; a touch sensor disposed within the electronic device on one side of the cover and configured to detect a location of a touch on the cover; a force-sensitive layer disposed within the electronic device on the one side of the cover; and a force-sensing structure disposed on a side of the force-sensitive layer opposite the cover; and a compressible layer located between the force-sensitive layer and the force-sensing structure; wherein: the force-sensing structure is configured to be engaged when a sufficient force is applied at a region of the cover away from an edge of the cover, the sufficient force causing the compressible layer to collapse; at least before the compressible layer collapses in response to an amount of force of the touch on the cover, the force-sensitive layer is configured to produce a first output that corresponds to the amount of force; and after the compressible layer collapses in response to the amount of force, the force-sensing structure is configured to produce a second output that corresponds to the amount of force.
