INACTIVE AREA FOR A TOUCH SURFACE BASED ON CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION

摘要

Techniques and architectures for detecting the handedness of a user from touch input and suppressing unintentional touch input are described. The techniques and architectures may analyze short-lived contacts that occur on a touch surface around a same time as input from an input tool to determine a hand that a user is using to hold the input tool. An inactive region may be established for the touch surface based on the hand determination and/or contextual information related to the user, the touch surface and so on. The inactive region may allow unintentional input to be identified and suppressed.
