Abstract: An apparatus for sensing user input includes a first strain gauge grouping attached to an inner surface of a housing of a device, and a second strain gauge grouping attached to the inner surface of the housing. The apparatus includes a circuit coupled to the first and second strain gauge groupings, the circuit being configured to: (i) receive a first parameter signal from the first strain gauge grouping in response to user input that interacts with the housing over a location of the first strain gauge grouping, (ii) indicate that a first type of user input has been received in response to receipt of the first parameter signal, (iii) receive a second parameter signal from the second strain gauge grouping in response to user input that interacts with the housing over a location of the second strain gauge grouping, and (iv) indicate that a second type of user input has been received in response to receipt of the second parameter signal.

Abstract: A computing device is described that receives fingerprint data that is generated by at least one sensor of the computing device and determines, based on a comparison of the fingerprint data with data associated with a fingerprint of an authorized user of the computing device, whether to authorize access to one or more applications that are executable by the computing device. Responsive to determining that access to the one or more applications is authorized, the computing device determines a gesture indicated by the fingerprint data, selects, based on the gesture, an application of the one or more applications as a selected application, and outputs, for display, a graphical user interface of the selected application.

Abstract: An electronic device includes: an enclosure having a first surface, a second surface, and a side surface disposed between the first and second surfaces; an edge-to-edge component mounted in an edge-to-edge opening that extends across substantially an entire width of the side surface between the first surface and the second surface; and a brace disposed in the enclosure, the brace extending along the edge-to-edge opening.
