Increased User Interface Responsiveness for System with Multi-Modal Input and High Response Latencies
First Claim
1. A multi-modal user interface comprising:
- a graphical user interface (GUI) supporting a plurality of different user input modalities including;
i. one or more low delay inputs which respond to user inputs without significant delay, andii. one or more high latency inputs which have a significant response latency after receiving a user input before providing a corresponding completed response;
wherein the GUI accepts user inputs in a sequence of mixed input modalities independently of response latencies without waiting for responses to high latency inputs, andwherein the GUI provides interim indication during response latencies of pending responses at a position in the GUI where the completed response will be presented.

Abstract
A multi-modal user interface with increased responsiveness is described. A graphical user interface (GUI) supports multiple different user input modalities including low delay inputs which respond to user inputs without significant delay, and high latency inputs which have a significant response latency after receiving a user input before providing a corresponding completed response. The GUI accepts user inputs in a sequence of mixed input modalities independently of response latencies without waiting for responses to high latency inputs. The GUI also provides interim indication during response latencies of pending responses at a position in the GUI where the completed response will be presented.

7. A method of operating multi-modal user interface comprising:
-
providing a graphical user interface (GUI) supporting a plurality of different user input modalities including; i. one or more low delay inputs which respond to user inputs without significant delay, and ii. one or more high latency inputs which have a significant response latency after receiving a user input before providing a corresponding completed response; accepting user inputs to GUI elements in a sequence of mixed input modalities independently of response latencies without waiting for responses to high latency inputs, and during response latencies of pending responses, providing interim indication at a position in the GUI where the completed response will be presented. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
