1. A method for touchpad edge gesture detection comprising:
detecting touch input on a touchpad; determining if the touch input originates externally to the touchpad by
interpreting the touch input as a plurality of data points;extracting a first pressure value at an initial data point in the plurality of points;extracting an average pressure value at a remainder of the data points in the plurality of data points; anddetermining if the first pressure value and the average pressure value are equal within a predetermined threshold; determining if the touch input ends internally to the touchpad; and performing a command on a computer corresponding to the touch input.
