Abstract
Examples relate to improving unintended touch rejection. In this manner, the examples disclosed herein enable recognizing a touch on a touch-sensitive surface, capturing a set of data related to the touch, wherein the set of data comprises a set of spatial features relating to a shape of the touch over a set of time intervals, and determining whether the recognized touch was intended based on a comparison of a first shape of the touch at a first time interval of the set of time intervals and a second shape of the touch at a second time interval of the set of time intervals.
Claims13
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions for determining unintended touch rejection, the instructions executable by a processor of a system to:
- recognize a touch on a touch-sensitive surface;
- capture a set of data related to the touch, wherein the set of data comprises a set of spatial features relating to a set of shapes of the touch over a set of time intervals;
- and
- determine whether the recognized touch was intended based on a comparison of shapes of the set of shapes of the touch to at least one stored set of spatial features of a plurality of stored sets of spatial features.
A system for determining unintended touch rejection, the system comprising:
- a touch determination engine to:
- determine whether a recognized touch was intended by:
- accessing a plurality of stored sets of spatial features;
- comparing a captured set of spatial features related to a shape of the recognized touch collected over a respective set of time intervals to at least one stored set of spatial features of the plurality of stored sets of spatial features;
- and
- determining whether the recognized touch was intended based on the comparison;
- and
- a touch learning engine to:
- modify the plurality of stored sets of spatial features based on input from a user from whom the touch was recognized.
A method for execution by a set of physical processors implementing machine-readable instructions for determining unintended touch rejection, the method comprising:
- accessing spatial data related to a touch recognized on a touch-sensitive component of the system, wherein the spatial data comprises a set of shapes recognized in the touch over a respective set of time intervals;
- comparing the accessed spatial data to a plurality of stored sets of spatial features;
- determining whether the touch is intended based on the comparison;
- responsive to determining that the touch is intended, providing information related to the touch to the system;
- receiving user input related to user interaction with the touch-sensitive component of the system;
- and
- modifying the plurality of stored sets of spatial features based on the received user input.
