Abstract
Systems and methods determine likely unintended flexing of a flexible display and exclude the determined unintended flexings from user input processing. Unintended flexings include placing or removing the flexible display into or out of a compact storage configuration, folds that outside the user's visible area, folds that are near edges and boundaries, flexing with a specified degree of bending or orientation, folds that don't intersect with other folds, folds that are near known unintended folds, folds that have a motion or other variation with time, and folds that are not in proximity to a selectable user interface element. Unintended flexings are adaptively identified by determining that a bend that is not in proximity to a selectable user interface element reoccurs at times when icons at different locations are presented on the flexible display.
