Control input handling
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- accepting, at an input component of an information handling device, input of a user;
identifying, using a processor, the input of the user as controlling input, wherein the controlling input is associated with a predetermined action;
classifying, using the processor and at least one control factor, the controlling input as one of a permissible control action and an impermissible control action for an application running on the information handling device, wherein the predetermined action associated with the impermissible control action is not to be performed and wherein the at least one control factor comprises a priority associated with a user and wherein a control action identified as permissible is associated with a user having a higher priority;
responsive to classifying the controlling input as the impermissible control action, thereafter accepting, at the input component, confirming audio input from a user that confirms the controlling input and is selected from the group consisting of a high priority user and a currently assigned controlling user; and
performing the predetermined action associated with the controlling input in response to the confirming audio input.

Abstract
An aspect provides a method, including: accepting, at an input component of an information handling device, input of a user; identifying, using a processor, the input of the user as controlling input; determining, using a processor, one or more control factors associated with the controlling input; classifying, using a processor, the controlling input as one of a permissible control action and an impermissible control action for an application running on the information handling device based on the one or more control factors; and performing an action selected from the group consisting of: accepting, at the input component, confirming input; and providing feedback to one or more users. Other aspects are described and claimed.

9. An information handling device, comprising:
-
an input component; a processor operatively coupled to the input component; a memory device that stores instructions accessible to the processor, the instructions being executable by the processor to; accept, at the input component, input of a user; identify the input of the user as controlling input, wherein the controlling input is associated with a predetermined action; classify, using at least one control factor, the controlling input as one of a permissible control action and an impermissible control action for an application running on the information handling device, wherein the predetermined action associated with the impermissible control action is not to be performed and wherein the at least one control factor comprises a priority associated with a user and wherein a control action identified as permissible is associated with a user having a higher priority; responsive to classifying the controlling input as the impermissible control action, thereafter accept, at the input component, confirming audio input from a user that confirms the controlling input and is selected from the group consisting of a high priority user and a currently assigned controlling user; and perform the predetermined action associated with the controlling input in response to the confirming audio input. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A product, comprising:
-
a storage device having code stored therewith, the code being executable by a processor and comprising; code that accepts, at an input component of an information handling device, input of a user; code that identifies, using a processor, the input of the user as controlling input, wherein the controlling input is associated with a predetermined action; code that classifies, using the processor and at least one control factor, the controlling input as one of a permissible control action and an impermissible control action for an application running on the information handling device, wherein the predetermined action associated with the impermissible control action is not to be performed and wherein the at least one control factor comprises a priority associated with a user and wherein a control action identified as permissible is associated with a user having a higher priority; responsive to classifying the controlling input as the impermissible control action, code that thereafter accepts, at the input component, confirming audio input from a user that confirms the controlling input and is selected from the group consisting of a high priority user and a currently assigned controlling user; and code that performs the predetermined action associated with the controlling input in response to the confirming audio input.
