Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the subject technology provide for intention-based user interface control for electronic devices. For example, an electronic device may utilize multiple indirect engagement indicators performed by a user of the electronic device, to confirm which of several displayed user interfaces with which the user intends to engage. Once the electronic device determines which of the multiple user interfaces the user intends to engage with, the electronic device may provide a user input to the application or other process underlying that user interface. The user input may be based, in whole or in part, one or more of the multiple indirect engagement indicators.
