"Accidental touch protection" typically refers to a feature implemented in electronic devices, especially touch-sensitive screens or surfaces, to prevent unintended or accidental input from being registered. This feature is particularly relevant in smartphones, tablets, and other touch-enabled devices where the screen may respond to accidental touches, leading to unintended actions or commands.
Here are some common ways accidental touch protection is implemented:
Palm Rejection: This feature distinguishes intentional touches (such as those made with a fingertip or stylus) from accidental touches made by the palm or other parts of the hand. It helps prevent unwanted actions when holding the device.
Proximity Sensors: Proximity sensors can detect when a device is close to an object, such as the user's face during a phone call. When the device is close to the user's face, it can disable the touch screen to prevent accidental touches.
