1. An apparatus comprising:
- one or more input devices; and
one or more processors;
wherein, responsive to execution of computer readable program code accessible to the one or more processors, the one or more processors are configured to;
ascertain inadvertent input via the one or more input devices;
responsive to inadvertent input via the one or more input devices, disable one or more of the one or more input devices; and
responsive to detecting removal of the inadvertent input via the one or more input devices, re-enable the one or more of the one or more input devices previously disabled.

Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer program products configured to provide intelligent filtering techniques to reduce errant device inputs are described. For example, filtering out the data input from a touch pad while typing on the keyboard or operating with a pointing stick, even if the touch pad is sensing contact, is augmented by continuing to filter data from the touch pad until the contact on the touch pad ends.
