Simultaneous Use of a Capacitance-Based Track Pad

A method of using a capacitance-based track pad, comprising:

• modifying at least one raw track input made to the capacitance-based trackpad to associate a non-confidence indicator with the at least one raw track input form processed track inputs;
• sending the processed track inputs to the track driver;
• and
• sending the processed track inputs to the key driver;
• wherein the non-confidence indicator is a piece of information inserted into the processed track inputs that instructs the tracking driver to not interpret or to disable the at least one track input.

A computer-program product for using a capacitance sensor, the computer-program

• product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to:
• modify at least one raw track input made to the capacitance-based trackpad to associate a non-confidence indicator with the at least one raw track input to form processed track inputs;
• send the processed track inputs to the track driver;
• and
• send the processed track inputs to the key driver;
• wherein the non-confidence indicator is a piece of information inserted into the processed track inputs that instructs the tracking driver to not interpret or to disable the at least one track input.
