Abstract
Apparatus, methods, and computer program products that can reduce false inputs to an information handling device are disclosed. Various embodiments of an apparatus include a processor of an information handling device and memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code can cause the processor to determine when a user is operating one of a keyboard and a touch pad and, in response to the user operating the one of the keyboard and the touch pad, modify an area of a valid operating region of the touch pad. A method and program product can also perform the functions of the apparatus.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor of an information handling device;
- and
- a memory that stores code executable by the processor to:
- determine when a user is operating one of a keyboard and a touch pad, and
- in response to the user operating the one of the keyboard and the touch pad, modify a first area of a valid operating region of the touch pad.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by use of a processor, when a user is operating one of a keyboard and a touch pad, wherein the touch pad comprises a valid operating region;
- and
- in response to the user operating the one of the keyboard and the touch pad, modifying an area of the valid operating region.
A program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:
- determining when a user is operating one of a keyboard and a touch pad, wherein the touch pad comprises a valid operating region;
- and
- in response to the user operating the one of the keyboard and the touch pad, modifying an area of the valid operating region.
