RECOGNIZING AND REJECTING UNINTENTIONAL TOUCH EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH A TOUCH SENSITIVE DEVICE

摘要

Techniques enabling improved classification of touch events associated with a touch sensitive surface of a touch sensitive device and rejection of unintentional touch events associated with the touch sensitive surface are presented. A classification component can analyze touch screen data associated with a touch sensitive surface of a device and sensor data received from an accelerometer, gyroscope, and/or ultrasonic sensor. Based on a result(s) of the analyzing, the classification component can determine a contact classification for an object with respect to the touch sensitive surface, wherein the contact classifications can comprise a classification for a particular intended touch event and a classification for an unintentional touch event, with respect to the touch sensitive surface. In response to detecting an unintentional touch event, an operation management component can reject the unintentional touch event and/or place the display screen of the device in an off state.
