Utility
Method and apparatus for classifying a touch event on a touchscreen as related to one of multiple function generating interaction layers
16 Mar 21
A system for classifying touch events of different interaction layers includes a touch screen configured to display an interactive element, one or more vibro-acoustic sensors coupled to the touch screen, a touch event detector configured to monitor the one or more vibro-acoustic sensors and to save vibro-acoustic signals sensed by the one or more vibro acoustic sensors, wherein the touch event detector is further configured to detect touch events in which the interactive element is touched by a first or a second finger part of a user, and wherein the touch events result in generating the vibro-acoustic signals, and a vibro-acoustic classifier is configured to classify the vibro-acoustic signals and activate corresponding functions in the different layers dependent upon which finger part is used.
