Dynamic Cursor Focus in a Multi-Display Information Handling System Environment

摘要

Plural applications present visual information at plural windows with a cursor focus at one of the windows to direct inputs to the application presenting information at the window. In response to inputs at another application associated with another window, cursor focus changes to the other application and then automatically returns to the first application and window without a user command. Automated management of cursor focus is supported with sensors that detect conditions proximate a display that presents visual information and with user settings, such as a press and hold at an application that a user desires to retain cursor focus on an automated basis.

主权项

1. An information handling system comprising:
one or more processors operable to execute plural applications, each application operable to process information for presentation to a user as visual images; memory interfaced with the one or more processors and operable to store the information; a graphics system interfaced with the processor and memory, the graphics system operable to generate the visual images at plural display devices; plural display device interfaced with the graphics system and operable to present the visual images, each application having a display portion defined on one or more of the plural displays; one or more input devices operable to accept inputs from an end user; and a cursor focus engine operable to define the application to receive the inputs, the cursor focus engine defining the application by applying a most recent end user input and at least one additional condition to direct inputs to an application other than the most recent application to receive end user inputs on at least some occasions.
