Abstract

One example provides a computing device comprising a display, a touch sensor operatively coupled to the display, a non-touch sensor configured to provide an output indicative of user engagement between the computing device and a user of the computing device, a logic machine, and a storage machine. The storage machine comprises instructions executable by the logic machine to determine a touch usage probability based at least upon the output from the non-touch sensor. The instructions are further executable to change the operation of the touch sensor between an idle mode and a scanning mode based at least on the touch usage probability meeting a probability threshold condition.
