US Patent:

20100321286, Dec 23, 2010

Filed:

Jun 19, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/488474

Inventors:

Myra Mary Haggerty - San Mateo CA, US
Robert Mansfield - Fremont CA, US

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345156

Abstract:

A motion sensitive input control configured to prevent unintended input caused by inadvertent movement of a computing device. In one embodiment, unintended input can be prevented by disregarding an input event if a change in motion of the computing device is detected simultaneously with or immediately prior to the detected input event. In another embodiment, unintended input can be prevented by reducing the sensitivity of an input device during a motion-based state associated with the computing device. In this manner, the likelihood of inadvertent motion of a computing device causing an unintended input event can be reduced.
