<p>Stylus "focus" designates or establishes an element or area of a computer interface (332) to receive input (e.g., such as electronic ink). Focus may be used, for example, to prepare the associated element to receive input by "walking" the system from a "standby" mode; by triggering increased digitizing polling frequency; by setting up data structures or allocating memory (120) resources to receive input; retrieving data relating to the input or characteristics thereof; etc. Systems, methods, and computer- readable media for managing stylus focus may include: (a) receiving input indicating that a stylus is located proximate a digitizer; and (b) providing focus to a control element (302-330) corresponding to the stylus location, e.g., when the stylus is located proximate to and/or in contact with the digitizer. If desired stylus focus may be maintained separate from and/or concurrent with mouse and/or keyboard focus. Additionally, such systems and methods may accept input from multiple styli and independently and concurrently provide stylus focus with respect to control elements (302-330) corresponding to the location of each stylus.</p> |
