Abstract
Various systems and methods for controlling a touchscreen user interface are described herein. A system to control the touchscreen user interface comprises: a proximity sensor; a touchscreen; a proximity sensor driver to interface with the proximity sensor; a touch sensor driver to interface with the touchscreen; and a user interface manager module to: receive an event signal indicating that a user interface action has been initiated; access a delay timer for the user interface action, the delay timer set based on events received by at least one of: the proximity sensor driver or the touch sensor driver; and execute the user interface action when the delay timer is expired.
