Systems and methods for selectably suppressing computing input events triggered by variable pressure and variable displacement sensors

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed herein that may be implemented to selectably suppress computing input events that are generated for an information handling system based on output signals received from a variable pressure or displacement (VPD) sensor that correspond to one or more pressure or displacement zones defined for the VPD sensor. Using the disclosed systems and methods, computing input events based on sensor output signals from one or more given VPD sensing zones may be selectably suppressed and/or withheld during sensor pressure or displacement changes from further host system processing according to a time delay, e.g., as a function of the elapsed time taken for a user to depress or release a given VPD sensor.
