Abstract
An electronic device and method thereof are provided. In one aspect, the electronic device includes a housing, a touch screen with edges, and one or more processors. First and second touch recognition regions are defined adjacent to one of the touch screen edges. The one or more processors determine whether to ignore a touch input based at least on whether the touch input is in one of the first and second touch recognition region and at least one of the type and the duration of the touch input.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a touch screen comprising edges;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- define a first touch rejection region located adjacent to at least one of the edges of the touch screen, the first touch rejection region being defined by a boundary located a first distance from the at least one of the edges;
- define a second touch rejection region located adjacent to the at least one of the edges of the touch screen, the second touch rejection region being defined by a boundary located a second distance from the at least one of the edges, where the second distance is different from the first distance;
- when a touch input is detected in the first touch rejection region, determine whether to ignore the touch input based at least on whether the touch input corresponds to a multi-touch input;
- and
- when a touch input is detected in the second touch rejection region, determine whether to ignore the touch input based at least on a duration of the touch input.

- when a touch input is detected in the first touch rejection region, determine whether to ignore the touch input based at least on whether the touch input corresponds to a multi-touch input;
- and
- when a touch input is detected in the second touch rejection region, determine whether to ignore the touch input based at least on a duration of the touch input.

A method of an electronic device, comprising:
- defining, by one or more processors of the electronic device, a first touch rejection region located adjacent to at least one of edges of a touch screen of the electronic device, the first touch rejection region being defined by a first boundary;
- defining, by the one or more processors of the electronic device, a second touch rejection region located adjacent to the at least one of the edges of the touch screen of the electronic device, the second touch rejection region being defined by a second boundary, where the second boundary is different from the first boundary;
- when a touch input is detected in the first touch rejection region, determining, by the one or more processors of the electronic device, whether to ignore the touch input based at least on whether the touch input corresponds to a multi-touch input;
- and
- when a touch input is detected in the second touch rejection region, determining, by the one or more processors of the electronic device, whether to ignore the touch input based at least on a duration of the touch input.
