Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: sensing touch detections at a touch screen; comparing the touch detections to a pattern of touch; grouping, based at least in part on the comparing the touch detections to a pattern of touch detections, the touch detections into at least one detected object; calculating the size of each detected object, the size of each detected object comprising a number of nodes associated with the detected object; comparing the size of each detected object to a size threshold, the size threshold comprising a threshold number of nodes, comparing the size of each detected object to the size threshold comprising comparing the number of nodes associated with the detected object to the threshold number of nodes; reporting the touch detections from each detected object that is less than the size threshold; and suppressing a response to each detected object greater than the size threshold; calculating the distance between each of the detected objects; determining which two detected objects are the furthest from each other; calculating a ratio of the sizes of the two detected objects furthest from each other; and suppressing a response to the larger of the two detected objects furthest from each other based at least in part on the ratio.
