1. An apparatus comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable program code executable by a processor, the computer readable program code comprising;
an assignment module assigning a digit identity to each digit of a hand, in contact with a multi-point touch sensitive sensor during a learning phase based on determining for each digit a number of digits in a group of zero or more digits located to one side of the digit, and determining comparative pressures for each digit during the learning phase, wherein the comparative pressures compare pressures of each digit on the multi-point touch sensitive sensor with each other digit; and
a determination module recognizing the assigned digit identity for each particular digit from a comparative pressure digit interaction with the multi-point touch sensitive sensor.

Abstract
For digit identification on a multi-point touch sensitive sensor, an assignment module assigns a digit identity to each digit of at least two digits in contact with a multi-point touch sensitive sensor during a learning phase. The digit identity includes a distinct representation of each digit. A receiving module detects a digit interaction of one or more particular digits of the at least two digits with the multi-point touch-sensitive sensor. A determination module recognizes the assigned digit identity for each particular digit involved in the digit interaction.
