  • Patent number: 10001871
    Abstract: Mobile device rejection of unintentional sensor contact. An embodiment of a mobile device includes a first touch sensor to detect contact by a user of the mobile device for input of gestures by the user, a memory to store indicators of unintentional contact to the first touch sensor, and a processor to evaluate contact to the first touch sensor. The processor compares a contact with the first touch sensor to the indicators of unintentional contact to determine if the contact is unintentional, and the mobile device rejects the contact as an input to the mobile device if the contact is determined to be unintentional and accepts the contact as an input to the mobile device if the contact is determined to be intentional.

  • Patent number: 9495017
    Abstract: Embodiments of computing systems, and related methods, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a computing system may include a peripheral device (e.g., an image capture device and/or an audio output device) and control logic. The control logic may be coupled with a sensor system and the peripheral device to receive a trigger signal; receive, from the sensor system, one or more interaction signals indicative of a user interaction with the computing system; and, in response to receipt of the trigger signal and the one or more interaction signals, generate a control signal for output to the peripheral device to control operation of the peripheral device. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
