Managing inputs to a user interface with system latency

A system for managing user inputs to a user interface, comprising:

• a processor and a memory configured to provide computer program instructions to the processor to execute a function of components;
• a user interface update component for activating a timer when a display of the user interface changes;
• a user input monitoring component for monitoring user inputs to the user interface including a first input component for noting a first user input after a user interface display change and a timer component for determining a time elapse of the timer;
• and
• a threshold comparing component for comparing the time elapse with a threshold time period and, if the time elapse is less than the threshold time period, an input disregarding component disregards the first user input.

A computer program product for managing user inputs to a user interface, the computer program product comprising a non-transient computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• activate a timer when a display of the user interface changes;
• monitor user inputs to the user interface including noting a first user input after a user interface display change and determining a time elapse of the timer;
• and
• compare the time elapse with a threshold time period and, if the time elapse is less than the threshold time period, disregarding the first user input.
