DISAMBIGUATION OF INDIRECT INPUT

摘要

The techniques described herein are directed to a computing device that receives data from an indirect input device. The data received may indicate or signal that one or more objects are on or within a detection area of the indirect input device. For example, the data may indicate that one or more objects are in contact with a surface of an indirect touch device. The techniques include determining parameters for the one or more objects and analyzing the parameters to determine whether the data is directed to a touch operation or to a mouse operation. To perform the touch operation or the mouse operation, the techniques further describe converting the data received from a first coordinate space of the indirect input device to a second coordinate space of a display screen.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a computing device from an indirect input device, data indicating detection of multiple objects; determining, based on the data, one or more parameters for one or more of the multiple objects; and analyzing, by the computing device, the one or more parameters to determine whether the data received from the indirect input device is directed to a mouse operation or to a touch operation.
