Patent ID: 8629849

Claim:
A spurious input detection system, comprising: a chassis; a touch input display located on a first side of the chassis; a touch input surface located on a second side of the chassis that is opposite the chassis from the first side; and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, provide a spurious input detection engine that is operable to: receive a first input from the touch input display; receive a second input from the touch input surface; determine that the first input is a spurious input based on a combination of the first input and the second input; disregard the first input in response to determining that the first input is a spurious input; receive a third input from the touch input surface; determine that the first input is no longer a spurious input base on a combination of the second input and the third input; continue to disregard the first input subsequent to determining that the first input is no longer a spurious input; detect a removal of the first input; receive a fourth input from the touch input display; and determine that the fourth input is in substantially the same location on the touch input display that the first input was received and, in response, accept the fourth input as a user input.
