INPUT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A system for exposing events for both logical input and physical input, the system comprising:
- a promoter for turning physical input associated with a primary event to logical input associated with secondary event; and
a dictionary accessible to an application, wherein the dictionary associates the primary event of the physical input with the secondary event of the logical input based on inheriting a dictionary of the primary event to a dictionary of the secondary event.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method, medium and system for use in a computing environment for managing input information. The system for facilitating input management in a computerized environment may include an input manager for processing events received from an input provider. The system may additionally include a staging area including a stack of events created by the input manager. The staging area allows access by external components. The external components may include a set of filters capable of accessing and manipulating the stack of input events and a set of monitors capable of monitoring manipulation of the stack of events.

8. A computer-implemented method for exposing events for both logical input and physical input, the method comprising:
-
receiving a physical input for an application, the physical input associated with a primary event; promoting the physical input associated with the primary event to a logical input associated with a secondary event such that a dictionary accessible to the application is provided, wherein the dictionary associates the primary event of the physical input with the secondary event of the logical input based on inheriting a dictionary of the primary event to a dictionary of the secondary event. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. One or more computer-storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method for exposing events for both logical input and physical input, the method comprising:
-
receiving a physical input for an application, the physical input associated with a primary event; promoting the physical input associated with the primary event to a logical input associated with a secondary event such that a dictionary accessible to the application is provided, wherein the dictionary associates the primary event of the physical input with the secondary event of the logical input based on inheriting a dictionary of the primary event to a dictionary of the secondary event. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
