Abstract

A pointing device, such as a mouse, a touchpad, or an active pen, may include a piezoelectric vibration sensor, which may facilitate the addition of other user gestures. A knock gesture may cause a vibration of the piezoelectric vibration sensor, where that vibration may be used to recognize the knock gesture. The knock gesture may be programmatically associated with actions of an information handling system.
