1. A method comprising:
- by a computing device, accessing a first context data comprising a first timestamp associated with a first touch event on a first device;
by the computing device, accessing a second context data comprising a second timestamp associated with a touch event on the first device, wherein;
the touch event comprises contact with the first device;
the touch event comprising contact with the first device is detected by a second device based on at least one of an EMI signal, an accelerometer signal, or a microphone signal detected by the second device; and
the second context data is generated based on the second device'"'"'s detection of the touch event;
determining an offset for one or more of the first timestamp and the second timestamp;
comparing, based at least on the offset, the first context data with the second context data; and
determining, based on the comparison, whether the first touch event is the touch event detected by the second device.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a first context data associated with a first touch event on a first device and accessing a second context data associated with a touch event on the first device. The touch event has been detected by a second device. The method further includes comparing the first context data with the second context data and determining, based on the comparison, whether the first touch event is the touch event detected by the second device.

11. An apparatus comprising
a touch sensor; - and
one or more processors coupled to the touch sensor and configured to; determine a first context data comprising a first timestamp associated with a first touch event detected by the touch sensor; receive from a second device a second context data comprising a second timestamp associated with a touch event on the apparatus;
wherein;the touch event comprises contact with the apparatus; the touch event comprising contact with the apparatus is detected by the second device based on at least one of an EMI signal, an accelerometer signal, or a microphone signal detected by the second device; and the second context data is generated based on the second device'"'"'s detection of the touch event; determine an offset for one or more of the first timestamp and the second timestamp; compare, based at least on the offset, the first context data with the second context data; and determine, based on the comparison, whether the first touch event is the touch event detected by the second device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media embodying logic that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
accessing a first context data comprising a first timestamp associated with a first touch event on a first device; accessing a second context data comprising a second timestamp associated with a touch event on the first device;
wherein;the touch event comprises contact with the first device; the touch event comprising contact with the first device is detected by a second device based on at least one of an EMI signal, an accelerometer signal, or a microphone signal detected by the second device; and the second context data is generated based on the second device'"'"'s detection of the touch event; determining an offset for one or more of the first timestamp and the second timestamp comparing, based at least on the offset, the first context data with the second context data, the second context data generated based on the second device'"'"'s detection of the touch event; and determining, based on the comparison, whether the first touch event is the touch event detected by the second device.
