Selective input signal rejection and modification
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a user input device configured to sense user input data including one or more touch inputs and one or more pick inputs from a touch sensing panel; and
a modification module configured to modify the user input data to remove or reduce an effect at least one of the sensed touch or pick inputs in response to a touch pattern formed by the one or more sensed touch or pick inputs,wherein the one or more touch inputs are detected independently of the one or more pick inputs.

Abstract
This is related to user input devices that accept complex user input including a combination of touch and push (or pick) input. The invention provides for selective ignoring or rejection of input received from such devices in order to avoid interpreting unintentional user actions as commands. Furthermore, some input signals can be modified. The selective rejection or modification can be performed by the user interface device itself or by a computing device that includes or is attached to the user interface device. The selective rejection or modification may be performed by a module that processes input signals, performs the necessary rejections and modifications and sends revised input signals to higher level modules.
