1. A method for operating a sensor surface, comprising:

  • detecting, by circuitry in the sensor surface, an initial position of a stylus relative to the sensor surface;

    determining, by the circuitry in the sensor surface, initial coordinate values based on the detected initial position of the stylus;

    communicating the initial coordinate values to processing circuitry in communication with the circuitry in the sensor surface for further processing;

    determining, by the circuitry in the sensor surface, subsequent coordinate values based on a subsequent position of the stylus detected after detecting the initial position; and

    determining, by the circuitry in the sensor surface, whether the subsequent position of the stylus is within a predetermined distance from the initial position, and(a) when the subsequent position of the stylus is not within the predetermined distance from the initial position, communicating the subsequent coordinate values to the processing circuitry for further processing, and(b) when the subsequent position of the stylus is within the predetermined distance from the initial position, replacing the subsequent coordinate values with the initial coordinate values and communicating the initial coordinate values instead of the subsequent coordinate values to the processing circuitry for further processing,wherein in sub step (b) the initial coordinate values are communicated to an application program or an operating system that is operated by the processing circuitry for further classification of stylus movement based on the initial coordinate values that are communicated in place of the determined subsequent coordinate values.
