Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for use in recognizing input of multiple input types on a computing device are provided. The computing device is connected to an input device in the form of an input surface. A user is able to provide input by applying pressure to or gesturing above the input surface using either his or her finger or an instrument such as a stylus or pen. The computing device further has an input management system for recognizing the input. The input management system is configured to accept input, with respect to the interface surface, of one or more different types of input, cause recognition of the input as recognized objects regardless of the one or more input types, each recognized object being associated with a corresponding probability of recognition, and return at least one of the recognized objects as the recognized input based on the probabilities.
