• displaying the additional pop-up window at the selected location for the additional pop-up window;
• based at least in part on determining the location of the received user input on the touchscreen, generating a heat map for the touchscreen, the heat map recording the locations of the received user inputs on the touchscreen;
• and
• wherein the heat map defines a matrix of values for locations forming the area of the touchscreen, each value generated by a function processing the location of the received user input on the touchscreen, and wherein the selecting of a location for the additional pop-up window comprises selecting a location where the values of the heat map are below a predetermined threshold.

A computer program product for controlling a device, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
• display an output of an application on a touchscreen;
• receive a user input for the application on the touchscreen;
• determine the location of the received user input on the touchscreen;
• generate an additional pop-up window for display on the touchscreen;
• select a location for the additional pop-up window, the selected location for the additional pop-up window not coinciding with the determined location of the user input for application;
• display the additional pop-up window at the selected location for the additional pop-up window;
• based at least in part on determining the location of the received user input on the touchscreen, generating a heat map for the touchscreen, the heat map recording the locations of the received user inputs on the touchscreen;
