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;
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 comprises a processor and a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the processor, and wherein the non-transitory processor-readable storage medium stores;
processor-executable locking instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the human-electronics interface to enter into a locked state with respect to the first interface device, wherein in the locked state with respect to the first interface device the human-electronics interface is unresponsive to inputs of the first form from the user;
processor-executable unlocking instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the human-electronics interface to enter into an unlocked state with respect to the first interface device, wherein in the unlocked state with respect to the first interface device the human-electronics interface is responsive to inputs of the first form from the user; and
processor-executable input processing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the second interface device to, in response to detecting an input of the second form from the user, cause the processor 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.
