Abstract
A technique is disclosed for processing touch signals of a touch-operable touchscreen. One aspect of the method comprises detecting a touch signal indicating a touch on the touchscreen, differentiating, on the basis of the detected touch signal, between an input touch for inputting information and/or for control purposes on the one hand and a gripping touch resulting from a user gripping the touchscreen on the other, and rejecting of the detected touch signal as an input touch if the touch signal is attributed to a gripping touch.
