Abstract
A device includes an electronic display configured to display an object, a digitizer sensor and a circuit. The digitizer sensor is integrated with the display and senses touch input from a palm. The circuit detects coordinates of the touch input, detects a contour of the touch input and selects the object based on the object being at least partially surrounded by the contour.
