ABSTRACT:
A method, interface, and medium are provided for causing a computer to respond to input based on the source of the input. The computer responds to identical input according to a device that generated the input. The method includes determining information about a receiving component that received the data and using that information to determine the source of input. The source of data input is coupled with the input to initiate a response by the computer. The response can be tailored to how the data was received.
