A method of controlling contents displayed on a display includes processing inputs from different users across multiple application windows of one or more applications displayed on a single display of a user interface, resulting in a multi-user graphical user interface (GUI), the computing environment running an operating system (OS), the computing environment having a multiple input detection system to respond to user inputs from different users simultaneously, the multiple input detection system including a touch screen on the single display that detects touch inputs and a contactless gesture sensor that detects contactless gestures. When a user input is detected by the touch detector, the GUI displays a first input interface to be used with touch. When a user input is detected by the contactless gesture sensor, the GUI displays a second input interface to be used with gestures, the second input interface being different from the first input interface.

Simultaneous gesture and touch control on a display

In a computing environment, a method for processing inputs from different users across multiple application windows resulting in a multi-user graphical user interface (GUI), the computing environment running an operating system (OS) designed to run with a single user GUI, the method including determining, in a primary application, separate from the OS, that a first user input corresponds to a first window and a second user input corresponds to a second window, the primary application sending the first and second user inputs to first and second secondary applications that run in parallel with the primary application, the first and second secondary applications being designed to run with the OS.

Simultaneous input system for web browsers and other applications

In a computing environment having a multiple input detection system including a detector that detects and transmits multiple simultaneous user inputs from different users at a same time, a method for processing inputs from different users across multiple application windows of one or more applications displayed on a single display of a user interface, resulting in a multi-user graphical user interface (GUI), the computing environment running an operating system (OS) designed to run with a single user GUI, the method including determining, in a primary application, separate from the OS, that a first user input corresponds to a first window and a second user input corresponds to a second window, the primary application sending the first and second user inputs to first and second secondary applications that run in parallel with the primary application, the first and second secondary applications being designed to run with the OS.
