Abstract
The disclosure is related to context driven interactions between a host computing device having a digitized surface and a client device. During a touch interaction, the host computing device detects a touch on the digitized surface and receives a client identifier from the client device. In an implementation, the host computing device may respond to a touch interaction in a context driven manner. The host computing device may determine an event based on a context of the touch interaction. The context may include, for example, the location (e.g., coordinates) of the touch, the client identifier received during the touch interaction, and an active application on the host computing device during the touch interaction. Based on the determined event, the host computing device may request specific information regarding the client device. The specific information may be selected by the host computing device based on the determined event.
