Cumulative sensor in a foldable device

A foldable device includes a first housing portion, a second housing portion, and a hinge structure joined therebetween to permit the foldable device to be folded along an axis between an open mode and a closed mode. Touch sensors are disposed along one or more of the first housing portion or the se...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A foldable device includes a first housing portion, a second housing portion, and a hinge structure joined therebetween to permit the foldable device to be folded along an axis between an open mode and a closed mode. Touch sensors are disposed along one or more of the first housing portion or the second housing portion. The device includes a module implemented at least partially in hardware and configured to: determine touch sensor physical proximity; responsive to the touch sensor physical proximity not being less than a threshold, determine that the foldable device is in the open mode and cause the foldable device to be operated in a single sensor mode; and responsive to the touch sensor physical proximity being less than the threshold, determine that the foldable device is in a closed mode and cause the foldable device to be operated in a cumulative sensor mode.
