Abstract
A method comprises receiving a gesture as an input to a display screen; detecting the gesture via a controller; determining whether the gesture was received on a target touch interface or in a defined area adjacent to the target touch interface; determining whether the gesture was intended to be received on the target touch interface; and providing an output based on the determination of whether the gesture was intended to be received on the target touch interface. Determining whether the gesture was intended to be received on the target touch interface comprises measuring a length of time of contact of the gesture with the display screen and measuring a proximity of a point of contact of the gesture from the touch interface.
