In one example, a computing device includes one or more user input detection components, and one or more processors configured to receive an indication of a first user input detected by the one or more user input detection components, responsive to receiving the indication of the first user input, adjust a level of an attention buffer at a defined rate; responsive to determining that the level of the attention buffer satisfies a first threshold, prevent further interaction with a user interface of the computing device, responsive to determining that an indication of a second user input has not been received within a time period, adjust a level of the attention buffer, and responsive to determining that the level of the attention buffer satisfies a second threshold, allow further interaction with the user interface.

Automated pacing of vehicle operator content interaction

Methods, systems, and apparatus for receiving data corresponding to a contact by a user detected at a touch-sensitive device. Variations in the contact over time are analyzed, and an anchor confidence score that is indicative of whether the contact represents a user input made using the touch-sensitive device is determined based at least on the analysis of the variations in the contact over time. The contact is classified as an anchor based at least on the anchor confidence score. Based on classifying the contact as an anchor, the contact is not processed as a user input to the touch-sensitive device.
