  • Asynchronous Interaction Handoff To System At Arbitrary Time
    Publication number: 20170277311
    Abstract: User input that is part of a user interaction with a computing device is received by a system module. The system module notifies the application of the user input, and the application determines whether the application is to handle the user interaction or the whether the operating system is to handle the user interaction. For user interactions that the operating system is to handle, the application notifies the operating system to handle the user interaction. For the duration of the user interaction, the operating system then determines what changes to make to a display of data based on the user interaction and need not (and typically does not) notify the application of the user input. Thus, the application hands off the user interaction to the operating system.
