Abstract
An apparatus may include a capacitance-based trackpad, a tracking driver in communication with the capacitance-based trackpad, a key driver in communication with the capacitance-based trackpad, a processor, and a memory having programmed instructions that, when executed, may cause the processor to modify the raw track inputs to associate a non-confidence indicator with at least one raw track input from the track inputs to form processed track inputs, send the processed track inputs to the tracking driver, and send the processed track inputs to the key driver. The tracking driver may be configured to receive raw track inputs from the capacitive-based trackpad and the key driver may be configured to receive raw key inputs from the capacitance-based trackpad.
