SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR MITIGATING FALSE POSITIVES IN HUMAN-ELECTRONICS INTERFACES
First Claim
1. A human-electronics interface comprising:
- a first interface device responsive to inputs of a first form from a user, wherein in response to detecting an input of the first form from the user the first interface device transmits at least one control signal;
a controlled device that includes a first processor and a first non-transitory processor-readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the first processor, wherein the first non-transitory processor-readable storage medium stores;
processor-executable locking instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the controlled device to enter into a locked state in which the controlled device is unresponsive to control signals from the first interface device; and
processor-executable unlocking instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the controlled device to enter into an unlocked state in which the controlled device is responsive to control signals from the first interface device; and
a second interface device responsive to inputs of a second form from the user, the second form different from the first form, wherein the second interface device includes a second processor and a second non-transitory processor-readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the second processor, and wherein the second non-transitory processor-readable storage medium stores processor-executable input processing instructions that, when executed by the second processor, cause the second interface device to;
in response to detecting an input of the second form from the user, cause the first processor of the controlled device to execute the processor-executable unlocking instructions.

Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for mitigating false-positives in human-electronics interfaces are described. A human-electronics interface includes a first interface device that is responsive to inputs of a first form from a user and a second interface device that is responsive to inputs of a second form from the user. The first interface device enables the user to control the interface through inputs of the first form while the second interface device enables the user to control, through inputs of the second form, at least a locked/unlocked state of the interface with respect to the first interface device. In the locked state, the interface is unresponsive to inputs (in particular, accidental inputs or “false-positives”) of the first form whereas in the unlocked state the interface is responsive to inputs of the first form.
