Patent ID: 8275920

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: rendering content of a first content type at a first program operating within a second program that renders content of a second type, such that the content of the first content type and the content of the second type are rendered concurrently to a display device, where the first program is different from the second program, and the first content type is different from the second content type; receiving input with respect to the display device; switching the first program from an embedded input mode to a focused input mode when the input is received as a single input inside a first region of the display device where the content of the first content type is rendered by the first program; switching the first program from the focused input mode to the embedded input mode when the input is received as a single input inside a second region of the display device where the content of the second type is rendered by the second program, wherein the content of the first content type and the content of the second type remain concurrently rendered to the display device after said switching the first program between the embedded and focused input modes; handling the received input when the first program is in the focused input mode and the input is received as the single input inside the first region, or the received input is different from the single input received in the first region; and allowing the second program to handle the received input when the first program is in the embedded input mode and the input is received as the single input inside the second region, or the received input is different from the single input received in the second region.
