Abstract
An example method includes sensing a first touch event on a touch sensitive surface of a computing device, where the first touch event is associated with a touch contact; and classifying the touch contact as being a finger contact or a palm contact based on biometric information. The method includes providing an input to the computing device based on the classification of the touch contact; and associating the first touch event with a time sequence of touch events that are associated with the touch contact. The method includes, based on a feature of the time sequence of touch events, selectively reclassifying the touch contact; and selectively changing the input based on a result of the selective reclassification of the touch contact.
