Abstract:
1. A method for processing multiple simultaneous inputs received across different application components that are simultaneously displayed on a single touch-sensitive display, the method comprising: displaying a first user interface component of a first application on a first portion of a touch-sensitive display; displaying a second user interface component of a second application on a second portion of the touch-sensitive display, the first user interface component being displayed on the first portion of the touch-sensitive display simultaneous with displaying the second user interface component on the second portion of the touch-sensitive display; receiving a first touch user input on the first portion of the touch-sensitive display, the first touch user input being directed at the first user interface component; receiving a second touch user input on the second portion of the touch-sensitive display, the second touch user input being directed at the second user interface component, the first and second touch user inputs being entered at and detected by the touch-sensitive display at the first portion and the second portion at substantially the same time; determining that the first touch user input corresponds to the first application associated with the first user interface component based on the first touch user input being received on the first portion of the touch-sensitive display; routing the first touch user input to the first application associated with the first user interface component; determining that the second touch user input corresponds to the second application associated with the second user interface component based on the second touch user input being received on the second portion of the touch-sensitive display; and routing the second touch user input to the second application associated with the second user interface component, the second touch user input being routed to the second application substantially at the same time as routing the first touch user input to the first application.
