Abstract: A force sensing system for determining if a user input has occurred, the system comprising: an input channel, to receive an input from at least one force sensor; an activity detection stage, to monitor an activity level of the input from the at least one force sensor and, responsive to an activity level which may be indicative of a user input being reached, to generate an indication that an activity has occurred at the force sensor; and an event detection stage to receive said indication, and to determine if a user input has occurred based on the received input from the at least one force sensor.

Abstract: A method for determining and mitigating over-excursion of an internal mass of an under-damped electromechanical transducer may include transforming an electrical playback signal to an estimated displacement signal, based on the estimated displacement signal, determining an estimated over-excursion of the internal mass responsive to the electrical playback signal, and limiting, based on the estimated over-excursion, an electrical driving signal derived from the electrical playback signal and for driving the electromechanical transducer in order to mitigate over-excursion of the internal mass.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods and apparatuses for controlling an operation of a vibrational output system and/or an operation of an input sensor system, wherein the controller is for use in a device comprising the vibrational output system and the input sensor system. A controller comprises an input configured to receive an indication of activation or de-activation of an output of the vibrational output system; and an adjustment module configured to adjust the operation of the vibrational output system and/or the operation of the input sensor system based on the indication to reduce an interference expected to be caused by the output of the vibrational output system on the input sensory system.
