Abstract
A method for operating an electronic device. The method includes detecting a plurality of touch inputs for a plurality of frames on a touchscreen of the device. The plurality of touch inputs includes a first touch input and a second touch input. The first touch input is immediately adjacent to the second touch input from amongst the plurality of touch inputs and the plurality of frames comprising a current frame and a preceding frame. The method further includes determining a distance between the first and the second touch inputs on the current frame, determining a speed between the first touch input on the current frame and the first touch input on the preceding frame, and merging, for the current frame, the first touch input with the second touch input into a single touch input based on the determined distance and the determined speed.
