Abstract:
Example apparatus and methods concern establishing, managing, or dis-establishing a primary hover-point for a hover-sensitive input/output interface. One example apparatus includes a proximity detector that detects an object in a hover-space associated with the input/output interface. The apparatus produces characterization data concerning the object. The characterization data may identify where the object is located, how the object is moving, what the object is doing, or other attributes of the object. The apparatus may assign a hover point designation to the object as a function of the characterization data. The apparatus selectively controls input actions associated with the object based on the hover point designation. The apparatus may accept input actions associated with a primary hover point and ignore actions associated with a non-primary hover point.

Claim (Index 15):
A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:\n detecting a set of objects in a hover-space in response to receiving a signal from a proximity detection system associated with a hover sensitive input/output interface associated with an apparatus; establishing a primary hover point designation for a first member of the set of objects by updating a computer memory in the apparatus, where members of the set of objects are at least partially present in the hover-space, and where establishing the primary hover point designation is a function of which member of the set of objects entered the hover-space first; establishing a non-primary hover point designation for a second, different member of the set of objects; selectively controlling how the input/output interface processes actions performed by members of the set of objects based, at least in part, on the primary hover point designation and the non-primary hover point designation, where selectively controlling how the input/output interface processes actions comprises controlling the input/output interface to accept inputs from the first member and to reject inputs from the second member; receiving an inbound message through an application programming interface (API) provided by a process running on the apparatus, and as a function of the inbound message:\n selectively reconfiguring how a primary hover point designation is established.
