  • Publication number: 20250103176
    Abstract: A device may receive a first user interaction signal in response to a first user interaction with a first user interaction element. In response to the first user interaction signal, the device may provide a first instruction to the computing system to perform a first action with respect to the first indicator, wherein the first indicator is active. The device may receive a switch control signal in response to a second user interaction with a switch control element. The device may set the first indicator as the inactive indicator and the second indicator as the active indicator. The device may receive a second user interaction signal in response to a third user interaction with the first user interaction element and use the second controller to provide a second instruction to the computing system to perform a second action with respect to the second indicator.
