Cursor management methods and systems for recovery from incomplete interactions

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing system, cause the processing system to:

• assign a first identifier to a first stream of messages from a user input device corresponding to a first user input with respect to an application, wherein the first identifier is associated with a first source of the first user input associated with the first stream of messages;
• and
• while a user interaction state associated with the first stream of messages is active:
• assign a second identifier to a second stream of messages from the user input device, wherein the second identifier is associated with a second source of a second user input associated with the second stream of messages;
• and
• in response to detecting the second identifier corresponds to the first identifier, deactivate the first stream of messages associated with the first stream of messages, wherein deactivating the first stream of messages results in the application responding to the second stream of messages corresponding to the second user input.

A system comprising:

• a user input device to provide a message stream associated with a user input;
• one or more display devices;
• and
• a processing system coupled to the user input device and the one or more display devices, wherein the processing system is configurable to implement a user input management service to:
• assign a first identifier to a first stream of messages from the user input device corresponding to a first user input with respect to an application, wherein the first identifier is associated with a first source of the first user input associated with the first stream of messages;
• and
• while a user interaction state associated with the first stream of messages is active:
• assign a second identifier to a second stream of messages from the user input device, wherein the second identifier is associated with a second source of a second user input associated with the second stream of messages;
• and
• in response to detecting the second identifier corresponds to the first identifier, deactivate the first stream of messages associated with the first stream of messages, wherein deactivating the first stream of messages results in the application responding to the second stream of messages corresponding to the second user input.
