  • Patent number: 9465466
    Abstract: Examples of sensing a gesture with respect to a touch input device are described. For example, a method to sense a gesture may include acquiring a distance between a finger, which may not be in contact with the touch input device, and at least two heat sensing spots on the touch input device. The acquired distances may be compared to identify the shortest distance. The gesture of the finger toward the touch input device may be identified based on the shortest distance being less than a predetermined threshold. The described techniques and examples may improve overall performance of system that may be equipped with the touch input device.
