Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing user inputs to a user interface includes: activating a timer when a display of the user interface changes; monitoring user inputs to the user interface including noting a first user input after a user interface display change and determining a time elapse of the timer; and comparing the time elapse with a threshold time period and, if the time elapse is less than the threshold time period, disregarding the first user input.
