Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling electronic devices using force sensors include a plurality of force sensors configured such that they are operable to support one or more housings on one or more surfaces. When force is exerted on the housing, this force is measured by the force sensors as force data. This force data is interpreted as at least one input for an electronic device. In some implementations, the electronic device may include various different statuses. In such implementations, the status of the electronic device may be determined and the input that the force data is interpreted as may depend on the determined status of the electronic device. In various cases, the status of the electronic device may be a combination of one or more different statuses.
