SPURIOUS INPUT DETECTION SYSTEM

1 . A spurious input detection system, comprising:

a touch input display;

a touch input surface; and

a non-transitory, computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, provide a spurious input detection engine that is configured to:

receive a first input from the touch input display;

receive a second input from the touch input surface; and

determine that the first input is a spurious input based on a combination of the first input and the second input; and

disregard the first input in response to determining that the first input is a spurious input.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the disregarding the first input includes disabling a portion of the touch input display that is associated with the first input.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first input includes a single thumb input and the second input includes at least one finger input and at least one palm-portion input.

4 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a sensor that is coupled to the spurious input detection engine and configured to measure movement, wherein the spurious input detection engine is configured to receive a measured movement from the sensor, and wherein the determining that the first input is a spurious input is based on a combination of the first input, the second input, and the measured movement.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the spurious input detection engine is further configured to:

receive the measured movement subsequent to receiving the first input and the second input;

receive a third input from the touch input display and a fourth input from the touch input surface subsequent to receiving the measured movement;

determine that the third input is a spurious input based on a combination of the first input, the second input, the measured movement, the third input, and the fourth input; and

disregard the third input in response to determining that the third input is the spurious input.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the measured movement is a measured acceleration.

7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the measured movement is a change in orientation.

8 . A computing system, comprising:

a chassis including a first side and a second side that is opposite the chassis from the first side;

a processor housed in the chassis;

a touch input display located on the first side of the chassis;

a touch input surface located on the second side of the chassis; and

a non-transitory, computer-readable medium housed in the chassis, coupled to the processor, and including instructions that, when executed by the processor, provide a spurious input detection engine that is configured to:

receive a first input from the touch input display;

receive a second input from the touch input surface; and

determine that the first input is a spurious input based on a combination of the first input and the second input; and

disregard the first input in response to determining that the first input is a spurious input.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the disregarding the first input includes disabling a portion of the touch input display that is associated with the first input.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the first input includes a single thumb input and the second input includes at least one finger input and at least one palm-portion input.

11 . The system of claim 9 , further comprising:

at least one sensor that is coupled to the spurious input detection engine and configured to measure movement, wherein the spurious input detection engine is configured to receive a measured movement from the at least one sensor, and wherein the determining that the first input is a spurious input is based on a combination of the first input, the second input, and the measured movement.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the spurious input detection engine is further configured to:

receive the measured movement subsequent to receiving the first input and the second input;

receive a third input from the touch input display and a fourth input from the touch input surface subsequent to receiving the measured movement;

determine that the third input is a spurious input based on a combination of the first input, the second input, the measured movement, the third input, and the fourth input; and

disregard the third input in response to determining that the third input is the spurious input.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the measured movement is a measured acceleration.

14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the measured movement is a change in orientation.

15 . A method for detecting spurious inputs, comprising:

providing a chassis including a touch input display located on a first side of the chassis and a touch input surface located on a second side of the chassis that is opposite the first side;

receiving a first input from the touch input display;

receiving a second input from the touch input surface; and

determining that the first input is a spurious input based on a combination of the first input and the second input; and

disregarding the first input in response to determining that the first input is a spurious input.

16 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the disregarding the first input includes disabling a portion of the touch input display that is associated with the first input.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the first input includes a single thumb input and the second input includes at least one finger input and at least one palm-portion input.

18 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

receiving a measured movement subsequent to receiving the first input and the second input;

receiving a third input from the touch input display and a fourth input from the touch input surface subsequent to receiving the measured movement;

determining that the third input is a spurious input based on a combination of the first input, the second input, the measured movement, the third input, and the fourth input; and

disregarding the third input in response to determining that the third input is a spurious input.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the measured movement is a measured acceleration.

20 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the measured movement is a change in orientation.
