WINDOWLESS RUNTIME CONTROL OF DYNAMIC INPUT DEVICE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing system, comprising:
- one or more direct input devices;
an operating system for executing one or more native applications, the operating system allowing a single one of the one or more native applications to have system-wide active focus, and the operating system directing all direct-input messages from the one or more direct input devices to the native application having system-wide active focus;
a dynamic input device to dynamically display a plurality of input images to a user and acknowledge user input directed to any particular one of the plurality of input images;
a container module to host one or more runtime environments, including a windowless runtime environment; and
an input-device user-interface runtime application executed within the windowless runtime environment to receive dynamic-input messages from the dynamic input device while the native application having system-wide active focus is executed outside of the container module and receives all direct-input messages from the one or more direct input devices.

Abstract
Windowless runtime control of a dynamic input device is provided by a computing system including a container module to host one or more runtime environments, including a windowless runtime environment. The computing system further includes an input-device user-interface runtime application executed within the windowless runtime environment to receive dynamic-input messages from a dynamic input device while another application executed outside of the container module has active focus of the computing system.
