MANAGING INPUTS FROM A PLURALITY OF USER INPUT DEVICE ACTUATORS
First Claim
1. A computing device for managing inputs from a plurality of user input device actuators, the computing device comprising code stored in memory for implementing via a processor:
- an actuator input module configured to receive a first actuator input from a first user input device actuator, and a second actuator input from a second user input device actuator; and
a window selection module configured to select a first selected window to which the first actuator input is sent according to predetermined selection rules, and to select a second selected window to which the second actuator input is sent according to the predetermined selection rules, and to send the first actuator input to the first selected window and to send the second actuator input to the second selected window.

Abstract
A computing device and method for managing inputs from a plurality of user input device actuators are provided. The computing device may include code stored in memory for implementing, via a processor, an actuator input module configured to receive a first actuator input from a first user input device actuator, and a second actuator input from a second user input device actuator. The computing device may further execute code to implement a window selection module configured to select a first selected window to which the first actuator input is sent according to predetermined selection rules, to select a second selected window to which the second actuator input is sent according to the predetermined selection rules, and to send the first actuator input to the first selected window and to send the second actuator input to the second selected window.

16. A method for operation of a computing device, comprising:
-
receiving a first actuator input from a first user input device actuator; receiving a second actuator input from a second user input device actuator; associating the first actuator input with a first selected window in response to one or more predetermined selection rules; associating the second actuator input with a second selected window in response to the predetermined selection rules; triggering a first action in the first selected window in response to a first actuator input; and triggering a second action in the second selected window in response to a second actuator input. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
