1. 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,in response to the user operating the one of the keyboard and the touch pad, modify a first operational area of a valid operating region of the touch pad, andmodify the first operational area of the valid operating region between a first region and a second region that is narrower than the first region.

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.
