1. A method of a computing device including a touch sensing surface, the method comprising:
- receiving touch input on or near the touch sensing surface;
determining a user interface context;
obtaining a sensing threshold associated with the user interface context;
comparing information of the touch input to the sensing threshold; and
determining, based on the comparison, whether to generate an input event based on the touch input.

Abstract
A sensing threshold of a touch sensing surface may be specified based on a user interface context. For example, inadvertent touches may be more likely in a map application that is often used in a car where a user experiences constant jostling. Accordingly, a high sensing threshold can be associated with the map application, and other applications can be associated with a lower sensing threshold.

12. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a processor to execute instructions; a touch sensing surface; and a memory coupled with the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations to generate an application programming interface (API) that allows an API-calling component to perform the following operations; receiving touch input on or near the touch sensing surface; determining a user interface context; obtaining a sensing threshold associated with the user interface context; comparing information of the touch input to the sensing threshold; and determining, based on the comparison, whether to generate an input event based on the touch input. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
