1. A method, comprising:
- receiving user input with a touch panel interface;
recognizing a series of touches with varying intensity or angle of descending on the touch panel interface, wherein recognizing the series of touches comprises;
receiving a series of touch instances as shapes on a touch panel displaying a keyboard;
classifying the shapes to distinguish finger from non-finger typing; and
analyzing the shapes to identify proximity clustering to avoid transient panel reading from being identified as finger typing; and
performing an action associated with the series of touches with varying intensity or angle of descending on the touch panel interface.

17. A non-transitory non-volatile computer readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, which when accessed, cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving user input with a touch panel interface; recognizing a series of touches with varying intensity or angle of descending on the touch panel interface, wherein recognizing the series of touches comprises; receiving a series of touch instances as shapes on a touch panel displaying a keyboard; classifying the shapes to distinguish finger from non-finger typing; analyzing the shapes to identify proximity clustering to avoid transient panel reading from being identified as finger typing; identifying long panel interactions as resting interactions; monitoring intensity of the series of touch instances to identify hover instances; and measuring movement of the touch instances; and assigning keystroke and rest contact types to the shapes and performing an action associated with the series of touches with varying intensity or angle of descending on the touch panel interface. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
