  • Publication number: 20240143157
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for resolving a user input. One method involves associating a user input with a first application based on an initial location associated with one or more messages of the user input message stream corresponding to a first graphical user interface (GUI) display associated with the first application. Thereafter, in response to identifying an updated location associated with a subsequent message of the message stream corresponding to a second GUI display associated with a second application, the method provides indication of the updated location to the second application to generate a graphical representation of a cursor associated with the user input at the updated location within the second GUI display and provide second indication of the updated location of the user input to the first application to respond to the user input in accordance with the updated location.

  • Patent number: 11960668
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for resolving a user input. One method involves assigning a first identifier to a first stream of messages from a user input device corresponding to a first user input with respect to an application, and while a user interaction state associated with the first stream of messages is active, assigning a second identifier to a second stream of messages from the user input device, and in response to detecting the second identifier corresponds to the first identifier, deactivating the first stream of messages associated with the first stream of messages, wherein deactivating the first stream of messages results in the application responding to the second stream of messages corresponding to the second user input.

  • Patent number: 11954325
    Abstract: Vehicle systems and methods are provided for associating text entry components with software applications in a decoupled software environment. One method involves a user input management service associating a user input from a user input device with an interactive application based on a location associated with the user input, providing the user input to the application based on the association, wherein the application responds to the user input, receiving indication of selection of a text input element by the user input from the application. In response to the indication of selection of the text input element, the user input management service associates a text entry component with the application and thereafter provides a text input received from the associated text entry component to the application based on the association between the text entry component and the application, wherein the application responds to the text input.
