Abstract
An electronic device includes a touch-sensitive display, one or more processors, and one or more motion sensors. The touch-sensitive display detects touch input at a surface of the touch-sensitive display, with the touch input identifying a user input command requesting performance of a control operation. The one or more motion sensors determine whether the electronic device moves in three-dimensional space while the touch input is occurring. The one or more processors preclude execution of the control operation in response to the touch input where the electronic device moved in the three-dimensional space while the touch input was occurring, thereby preventing control operations in response to inadvertent touching when the electronic device is being picked up or moved.
