Auto-Baseline Determination for Force Sensing

Determining an applied force of touch on a touch device, in response to a time-varying signal generated by a force of touch sensor. Inferring a measure of force of touch in response to that signal, by determining a peak value of a time derivative of that signal, determining a fraction of that peak value, determining a force of touch corresponding to that peak value, and setting that force as a baseline value for a particular user. Responding to force of touch by the user by comparing against that baseline value. Distinguishing between users having differing baseline values.
