Embodiments disclosed include systems and methods to create independently multi-layered virtual workspace applications, designed for use with independent multiple input systems. Embodiments disclosed include computer implemented methods and systems comprising sending messages into a computer system via at least one of raw input, operating system coding and application specific messaging. Systems and methods disclosed enable receiving and parsing low level messages by unique listening applications, wherein the unique listening applications are further caused to parse the incoming messages into independently handled and rendered independent multiple input data streams. The unique listening applications are comprised in separate distinct layers corresponding to distinct user functionalities, and enable non co-located users to co-locate within the unique listening applications, facilitate user defined navigation between the separate distinct layers to be configured and activated and deactivated by each individual user, such that each configuration and activation is specific to the individual user. The configuration further comprises moving, hiding and resizing each of the separate distinct layers by each individual user and providing an option to each of the users to grant access to at least one of an application, tool, or file on said users' desktop by at least one other user, wherein the layers are logged by a server to render a configuration or content logged at any previous time upon at least one user rejoining any given session.

System and method to create independently multi-layered virtual workspace applications, designed for use with independent multiple input systems

Systems and methods are disclosed herein which enable simultaneous manipulation of user-interface objects by a plurality of users across a network of a plurality of nodes using multiple independent data paths, wherein on each node, an input device activates a plurality of user-interface elements, and such activations are replicated across each node. Only user-interface change data is transmitted, thereby enabling real-time, simultaneous collaboration without transmitting an image of the user interface.

System and method for implementing multiple and simultaneous functions across multiple applications

Method and system for generating and processing multiple independent input data streams based on a high priority OS message framework such as an OS provided framework for processing mouse-messages. Multiple input devices generate motion that is sensed by motion sensors located on one or more motion sources, quantify the sensed motion, and provide resulting input data to a computer via one or more communication ports. One or more software subroutines process the provided data, separating them into multiple independent input streams according to their sources, and sending the streams to listening applications. The subroutines are preferably integrated at a low level of the OS architecture, thereby enabling low-latency, fully-functional high priority processing of the input data.

Non-mouse devices that function via mouse-like messages

The implementation of a unique system for creating multiple independent computer inputs is described. The system utilizes interactive mouse hooks, raw input information, and subroutines for generating tagged windows mouse messages. Such tagged windows mouse messages are coupled with a cursor rendering application to generate second, third, or more independent cursors or control points. In addition, the system generates mouse input stream and discerns it from the hardware-generated input stream. The system-generated mouse input stream is further utilized in graphical user interface.

System and method for multiple independent computer inputs using unique device and source identification systems

Improved computer interface system using multiple independent hardware and virtual human-computer input devices and related enabling subroutines is disclosed. Multiple independent data input devices allow users to input data independently from multiple independent data input devices to operating system. Input device driver decodes input from multiple independent input devices. Operating system interface software interprets data from input device driver. Operating system software further generates and controls multiple cursors or control points. Input device aware program obtains and interprets input devices event message, and controls input device aware objects.
