Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for reporting button actions generated using a touch-sensitive input device, comprising: detecting a touch on a surface of a touch-sensitive input device; capturing touch information related to the touch on the surface of the touch-sensitive input device; after detecting the touch on the surface of the touch-sensitive input device, waiting a period of time before reporting a button action, wherein the button action includes either a right click or a left click; collecting additional touch information related to the touch on the surface of the touch-sensitive input device during the period of time; using the touch information and the additional touch information to determine a number of fingers related to the touch on the surface of the touch-sensitive input device; reporting a right click when the determined number of fingers is two; and reporting a left click when the determined number of fingers is one.
