ABSTRACT:
A method, a computer program product and a computer system for controlling the execution of an interruption routine for interrupting an active application. The computer system may include a first detector unit operable to detect if any application of multiple other applications is requesting interruption of the active application. Furthermore, the computer system may include a second detector unit operable to detect input data generated in response to a user interacting with the computer system. The computer system may also include a processing unit operable to execute a first sub-routine of the interruption routine when the input data has not been detected and a second sub-routine of the interruption routine when the input data has been detected. The execution of any interruption routine may be controlled in dependence of whether it is detected that input data has been generated in response to a user interacting with the computer system.
