  • Patent number: 12717420
    Abstract: Techniques related to detection and classification of interaction with a device based on a sensor output is described. In an example, the device generates a first discrete sample, a second discrete sample, and a third discrete sample by sampling an output signal of a sensor of the device. The device generates, based on a first measurement window, a first value that represents a first portion of the output signal. The device determines, based on the first value, that the first portion indicates that an interaction with the device is detected and generates, based on a second measurement window, a second value that represents a second portion of the output signal. The device generates classification data indicating a classification of the interaction based on the first value and the second value and causes an operation based on the classification data.
