In one aspect, a method includes receiving data describing a first region of contact with a touch sensitive display, a second region of contact with the touch sensitive display, and a third region of contact with the touch sensitive display, the second region of contact being separate from the first region of contact and the third region of contact being separate from the first region of contact and the second region of contact. The method includes classifying the first region of contact as a touch point provided by a user's body part. The method includes classifying the second region of contact as incidental touch input provided by a user's resting body part. The method includes classifying the third region of contact as a stylus input.
