PROVIDING ASYNCHRONOUS GENERAL USER INTERFACE (GUI) INPUT

Abstract:

Asynchronous General User Interface (GUI) input is provided. A first user-provided input is receive for an input field of the General User Interface (GUI). A first local timing process and a global timing process are initiated indicating time of the receiving of the first user-provided input. Prior to completion of data entry processing of the first user-provided input, a second user-provided input is received for the input field and a second local timing processing is initiated indicating time of the second user-provided input is received for the input field. Data entry processing of the first user-provided input and the second user-provided input is performed. A choice is made between the first user-provided input and the second user-provided input for use of the input field based at least in part on the first local timing process, the second local timing process, and the global timing process.
