    Abstract: A stylus-tracking device may include a piezoelectric receiver or transceiver array on a first side (e.g., underneath) a display. Image data may be acquired from the piezoelectric receiver array. The image data may correspond to signals produced by the piezoelectric receiver array in response to an acoustic signal and/or a mechanical deformation caused by a target object (e.g., a stylus) in contact with a surface, such as a cover glass, proximate a second side of the display. A doublet pattern in the image data may include a first area of having signals below a threshold level and a second area having signals above the threshold level. Based on one or more doublet pattern characteristics, a position of the target object on the surface, a force of the target object on the surface and/or a first direction of movement of the target object relative to the surface may be estimated.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for anti-spoofing detection are described. The methods, systems, and devices include scanning, by a sensor associated with a device, an object placed within a scanning distance of the sensor, identifying a test signal based on scanning the object, comparing the test signal to a reference signal, identifying a first match between the object and a biometric model based on the comparing, identifying, based on the scanning, a second match between a first biometric pattern associated with the object and a stored second biometric pattern, and enabling access to a secure resource associated with the device based on the first match and the second match.

    Abstract: A method may involve controlling an apparatus to transmit a first ultrasonic wave by sending first electrical signals to a plurality of separate electrode elements proximate an ultrasonic transceiver layer. The method may involve receiving first electrode layer signals, corresponding to reflections of the first ultrasonic wave, from the electrode layer. The method may involve determining, based on the first electrode layer signals, a location of a target object in contact with the apparatus. The location of the target object may correspond with a proximate electrode element. The method may involve controlling the ultrasonic transceiver layer to transmit a second ultrasonic wave by sending second electrical signals to the proximate electrode element and for receiving receiver pixel signals from at least a portion of the plurality of ultrasonic receiver pixels in an area corresponding with the proximate electrode element.

    Abstract: Some disclosed methods involve acquiring, via an ultrasonic sensor system, first (reference) ultrasonic signals at a first time and acquiring second ultrasonic signals via the ultrasonic sensor system at a second time. Such methods may involve determining, based at least in part on a comparison of the first ultrasonic signals and the second ultrasonic signals, whether one or more layers reside on the cover glass at the second time. If it is determined that the one or more layers reside on the cover glass at the second time, some methods may involve determining one or more signal characteristics corresponding to properties of the one or more layers and determining, based at least in part on the one or more properties, whether the one or more layers are compatible with the ultrasonic sensor system. If so, the method may involve calibrating the ultrasonic sensor system.

    Abstract: A method of controlling an apparatus that includes an ultrasonic sensor system may involve controlling the ultrasonic sensor system to transmit a first ultrasonic compressional wave and receiving first signals from the ultrasonic sensor system. The first signals may include signals corresponding to reflections of the first ultrasonic compressional wave from a target object proximate a surface of the apparatus. The method may involve performing an authentication process based, at least in part, on the first signals. The method may involve controlling the apparatus to transmit a shear wave and receiving second signals from the ultrasonic sensor system. The second signals may include signals corresponding to reflections of the shear wave from the target object. The method may involve performing a spoof detection process based, at least in part, on the second signals.
