  • Model-based touch event location adjustment
    Patent number: 9927917
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display including a touch sensor, a contextual sensor configured to provide data indicative of an operating condition of the electronic device, one or more memories in which touch input instructions, touch event mapping instructions, and a touch event mapping model are stored, and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured through execution of the touch input instructions to obtain data indicative of an initial assessment of touch event position via the touch sensor. The touch event mapping model maps the initial assessment of touch event position to an adjusted touch event position as a function of the data indicative of the operating condition of the electronic device.
