Abstract
A method is presented for processing input at a touch-sensitive display device. A touch input to the touch-sensitive display device is recognized. Based at least on a first set of features extracted from the recognized touch input, a first likelihood that the recognized touch input is unintentional is determined and compared to a first confidence threshold. Responsive to the first likelihood being less than the first confidence threshold, a second likelihood that the recognized touch input is unintentional is determined. The second likelihood is based on at least a second set of features extracted from outputs of one or more additional sensors. An aggregate likelihood that the recognized touch input is unintentional is then determined based on at least the first likelihood, the first set of features, and the second likelihood. Responsive to the aggregate likelihood being greater than a second confidence threshold, the touch input is arrested.
