Method for distinguishing between edge swipe gestures that enter a touch sensor from an edge and other similar but non-edge swipe actions

摘要

A method for detecting and tracking a single finger or multi-finger gesture referred to as an edge swipe gesture that originates from an edge of a touch sensor and which is distinguished from normal touch sensor operations such as cursoring, wherein the edge swipe gesture generates detection and tracking data having an immediate change, whereas touchdown or movement towards and then away from an edge of the touch sensor will generate data that is different from the edge swipe gesture.
