A method of collaborative or cooperative working at a touch sensitive surface 100 provides a multi-user interface by allowing multiple user inputs. The method comprises selecting a displayed icon 102a 102c by touch, and providing further inputs that are associated with the selected icon. A selected icon may be associated with a user 104b 104c, and this may be done by dragging the icon to an edge of the surface or orientating the icon with an edge [Fig. 1(c)]. Other methods include determining the position of users and allocating input to users dependent on the location of the input; defining an area associated with a user where displayed information in said area is associated with that user; associating each user with a group and tracking group inputs; displaying interface elements associated with a user; tracking the position of a user and providing each user with an icon representing the position of the user; dividing the touch screen into specific work areas where each work area receives inputs from one user. |
