Abstract: An electronic device may generate a canceling component that reduces or eliminates the unforced response for a base waveform applied to a component haptic output device of the electronic device. The electronic device may create a sculpted waveform that has no or reduced unforced response and may store the created sculpted waveform. The electronic device may apply the sculpted waveform to the component haptic output device. In one embodiment, a space of at least possible parameters may be defined. Canceling component corresponding to points in the space may be iteratively tested. A heat map may be generated based on the unforced response cancellation or elimination of the canceling components corresponding to the points. Based at least on the heat map, a canceling component may be selected. A sculpted waveform may then be generated by combining the base waveform with the canceling component.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for determining the amounts of force applied by at least two fingers of a user to a touch input device having a touch input surface. In one example, a system may include a plurality of force sensors distributed about the touch input surface; a plurality of touch sensors distributed about the touch input surface; and a module for apportioning a first amount of force as measured by the plurality of force sensors to one of the at least two fingers, and for apportioning a second amount of force as measured by the plurality of force sensors to another of the at least two fingers. The system may also include a persistent data structure including force calibration data with force deflection measurement values as measured by each of the plurality of force sensors in response to a standardized force applied to various known locations on the touch input surface. The system may also include one or more matched filter modules.

Abstract: A finger biometric sensor may include an array of finger biometric sensing pixels and processing circuitry coupled to the array of finger biometric sensing pixels. The processing circuitry may be capable of acquiring finger stability biometric data from a subset of the array, and determining whether a finger is stable relative to the array of finger biometric sensing pixels based upon the finger stability biometric data. The processing circuitry may also be capable of acquiring finger biometric data from the array of finger biometric sensing pixels when the finger is stable.
