Supporting Different Event Models using a Single Input Source

摘要

In at least some embodiments, input provided by a single source generates events representing multiple source types through a mapping process, e.g. a touch input generates both touch and mouse events. By configuring the system to not recognize certain gestures, messages associated with the events of the different source types are then interleaved and provided to an associated application for processing. Efficiencies are gained by configuring the system to interleave the messages associated with the source types because messages of one source type can be processed sooner than if the messages of the one source type were queued up and sent in a non-interleaved fashion.

主权项

1. One or more computer readable storage media embodying computer readable instructions which, when executed, implement a method comprising:
receiving a first message associated with a first input type; processing the first message to produce data; receiving a second message associated with a second different input type; and using data produced by processing the first message to process the second message.
