Method for management and broadcasting an event context

An event management device for automatically displaying context information to an information fragment without a user interaction, wherein the information fragment is related to a first application, the event management device comprising:

• a display unit adapted for displaying the information fragment in a first window on a screen, wherein the first window and the information fragment each relate to a first process of a first application;
• a pointing device adapted for pointing with a cursor related to a pointing device to a part of the information fragment displayed in the first window in a graphical user interface;
• an event handler adapted for generating an event object comprising coordinates of the cursor within the first window, and a part of the information fragment, wherein the event handler is further adapted for broadcasting the event object to a second process of second application, and in parallel, returning the event object to the first process, wherein the second process is independent of the first process, such that the only information exchange between the second application and the first application is based on the event object;
• an interpreting unit adapted for interpreting the event object by the second process and generating a response by the second process;
• and
• a display unit adapted for displaying the response of the second process in a second window in the graphical user interface, wherein the second window is related to the coordinates of the cursor of the pointing device, and wherein the first window remains active after displaying the second window.

A computer program product for automatically displaying context information to an information fragment without a user interaction, wherein the information fragment is related to a first application, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium readable by a processor and storing instructions for execution by the processor for performing a method comprising:
• displaying the information fragment in a first window on a screen, wherein the first window and the information fragment each relate to a first process of a first application;
• pointing with a cursor related to a pointing device to a part of the information fragment displayed in the first window in a graphical user interface;
• generating an event object comprising coordinates of the cursor within the first window, and a part of the information fragment;
• broadcasting the event object to a second process of a second application, and in parallel, returning the event object to the first process, wherein the second process is independent of the first process, such that the only information exchange between the second application and the first application is based on the event object;
• interpreting the event object by the second process and generating a response by the second process;
• and
• displaying the response of the second process in a second window in the graphical user interface, wherein the second window is related to the coordinates of the cursor of the pointing device, and wherein the first window remains active after displaying the second window.
