Original Abstract Submitted
This document describes systems and techniques for false-input suppression at touch-sensitive displays. In aspects, an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display generates a touch frame having a heatmap matrix based on touch input received at the touch-sensitive display. The electronic device further obtains contextual data to determine if the contextual data satisfies contextual conditions. If the contextual conditions are satisfied, a machine-learned model analyzes the touch frame to generate a confidence score for a likelihood that one or more hotspots within the heatmap matrix are indicative of touch inputs from machine-learned entities. Based on the confidence score being above a threshold, the electronic device suppresses touch inputs to prevent user interface interactions.
