As tablet devices become popular, various handwriting applications are used. Some of applications incorporate a specific function, which is generally called palm rejection. Palm rejection enables application users to put the palm of a writing hand onto a touch display. It classifies intended touches and unintended touches so that it prevents accidental inking, which has been known to occur under the writing hand. Though some of palm rejections can remove accidental inking afterward, this function occasionally does not execute correctly as it may remove rather correct ink strokes as well. We call this interaction Incorrect Drawn Ink Retrieval (IDIR). In this paper, we propose a software algorithm that is a combination of two palm rejection logics that reduces IDIR with precision and without latency. That algorithm does not depend on specific hardware, such as an active stylus pen. Our data provides 98.98% correctness and the algorithm takes less than 10 ms for the distinction. We confirm that our experimental application reduced the occurrences of IDIR throughout an experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
