Abstract: A method includes one or more processors of an electronic device receiving signals from multiple sensors located along an edge of the device. The signals are received in response to external contact being provided to the edge of the device. At least one processor determines a distribution of forces applied to the sensors based on the input signals. Based on the determined distribution of forces, the processor determines: i) a location of the external contact that is offset from a location of each of the multiple sensors, and ii) a magnitude of the force of the external contact. The processor detects whether sensing criteria has been satisfied based on an analysis of: i) the location of the external contact and ii) the magnitude of the force of the external contact. Responsive to detecting that sensing criteria has been satisfied, the processor executes a user input action.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for measuring consistency of animation and/or video rendering on a device, and providing a user with an indication of one or more consistency scores of the user's device. The consistency score indicates generally the consistency of user experience that is expected for the user device. In some cases, the consistency score is calculated based upon the differences in rendering times between adjacent frames in an animation, and/or the number of frames that have a render difference that differs from a standard or baseline value. A consistency score also may be based upon the framerate achievable by the device when rendering a video at a constant quality.
