US Patent 10452174 Selective input signal rejection and modification

This application is directed to modifying a sensed velocity at a device (e.g., a clickable trackpad) based on a time-dependent click memory variable (CMV). For example, if a touch having a certain velocity is detected when a selection (pick) button is pressed or released, the velocity can be initially suppressed under the presumption that the movement was inadvertent. However, over time that presumption fades, and the CMV can be used to gradually allow the full velocity of the touch to be recognized, under the new presumption that the movement was intentional.
