1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a storage device storing machine-readable code;

    a processor executing the machine-readable code, the machine-readable code comprising;

    a recognizing module recognizing a control gesture sensed by a sensor, the control gesture for defining an input region, the control gesture comprising one of tracing the input region and touching corner of the input region;

    an establishing module establishing the input region for sensor input in response to the recognition module recognizing the control gesture, wherein the input region is a sub-region of the total sensing area sensed by the sensor; and

    an enforcing module that ignores sensor input that is outside of the input region, the enforcing module enforcing the input region until a deactivation gesture is sensed.
