Touch-Sensitive Bezel Techniques
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- one or more touch sensors included in a display portion of a display device and in a display capable bezel portion of the display device, the one or more touch sensors configured to detect a touch input; and
one or more circuits configured to determine, based on a centroid of the touch input being detected within the display capable bezel portion, if a user intends the touch input to cause a display to occur in the display capable bezel portion and does not intend to interact with the display portion of the display device as a result of the touch input.

Abstract
Touch-sensitive bezel techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a computing device includes touch sensors in a display portion of a display device and in a display capable bezel portion of the display device. The touch sensors can detect a touch input, and based on one or more characteristics of the touch input, a likelihood that a user intends or does not intend to interact with the computing device can be determined. A location of a centroid of the touch input is one such characteristic that can be utilized. In at least some implementations, the display capable bezel portion has display capabilities such that when a touch input is detected, the display capabilities in a region of the bezel portion can be activated, such as to display a menu in the region of the bezel portion of the display device.
