1. A method comprising: receiving an indication of a first touch event, wherein the first touch event is received at a first capture area; determining, via a touch mediation function, a first priority associated with the first capture area; determining an input corresponding to the first touch event received at the first capture area; providing the input to a user interface without delay in response to the first priority being a relatively high priority; introducing a delay between determining the input and providing the input to the user interface in response to the first priority being a relatively low priority; receiving an indication of a second touch event, wherein the second touch event is received at a second capture area during the delay between determining the input and providing the input to the user interface; determining, via the touch mediation function, a second priority associated with the second capture area; determining an input corresponding to the second touch event received at the second capture area; and substituting the input corresponding to the second touch event for the input corresponding to the first touch event in response to the second priority being higher than the first priority.
