Precision TouchPad standard had 2 specific flags:Confidence and Tip. These two flags can recognize gesture if valid.

The flags are represented as follows:

Confidence Tip Config ID Action
0 0 0x00 Invalid message, discarded by the system for processing. The previous finger state remains unchanged
1 0 0x01 When the finger is lifted, the coordinates are reported and the system will consider the finger to have been lifted, and the gesture is considered complete
0 1 0x02 Unreliable contact is typically used in situations such as palm-to-palm contact rather than finger-to-finger contact. The coordinates will be reported but will not be processed
1 1 0x03 Valid message, report a normal message. The system will consider that the finger has touched
  • Config ID is defined by HID Descriptor formatting,May differ from the application.
  • Some touchpads do not handle the last finger in a two-finger gesture, and thus require a manual action to send a status to the system indicating that the gesture has been completed.

These two flags can be verified through the official verification tool DigiInfo provided by Microsoft。
