17. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying a condition-specific weighting factor to the cross-correlation values.
1. A method for capturing user input on a computing device, comprising: receiving an electrical signal from a force sensitive sensor positioned on a case of the computing device; comparing the received electrical signal to each of a plurality of reference signal templates; calculating cross-correlation values of the received electrical signal and each of the plurality of reference signal templates; determining a best match reference signal template for the received electrical signal based on the cross-correlation values; identifying a functionality associated with the best match reference signal template; and implementing the identified functionality on the computing device.
