Abstract
An information handling system touchpad includes an application area with a display to present control icons of an application executing on the information handling system, such as camera and microphone icons to control camera and microphone functions of a videoconference application or a calculator user interface. The touchpad accepts inputs at the control icons with a predetermined touch, such as a tap or a double tap. The touchpad continues to provide cursor touch inputs across the full touch surface, including over the control icons by applying separate touch logic to isolate control icon inputs, such as isolating finger taps as control icon inputs when control icons are presented.
