8. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a device housing having a selection region including a first selection feature and a second selection feature, the first selection feature configured to generate a different resonant frequency than the second selection feature in response to tapping each of the first and second selection features; a sensor to detect the resonant frequencies generated by the first and second selection features; and a processing circuit configured to receive sensor data from the sensor corresponding to the detected resonant frequency from each of the first and second selection features and to select a function of the electronic device based on the sensor data corresponding to the detected resonant frequency. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
