Abstract

A method and apparatus that resolve near touch ambiguities in a touch screen includes detecting a touch screen touch event and detecting a vibro-acoustic event. These events generate signals received respectively by two different sensors and/or processes. When the two events occur within a pre-defined window of time, they may be considered to be part of the same touch event and may signify a true touch.
