Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to methods and devices for rejecting touches to an electronic device that are false positives for transitioning the device from a low-power state to a high-power state. The electronic device, includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface including an array of touch pixels, the array of touch pixels including one or more margin regions and one or more non-margin regions. While the display is in a low-power state, the electronic device detects, at the touch-sensitive surface, an input. In response to detecting the input and in accordance with at least a portion of the input being in the one or more margin regions and a determination that a first input-characteristic of the input meets at least one criterion of a first set of display-wake-rejection criteria, the electronic device forgoes transitioning the display from the low-power state to a high-power state.
