Application-specific settings for hosted applications using client-side and host-side tablet device drivers

The host system includes a device driver having application-specific settings for hosting applications. The input data is generated by one or more tablet devices at the client computer system. The host-side data transfer application receives and forwards the input data to the host-side driver, which sends the input data to the hosted application. The tablet data sent to the hosted application is configured according to application-specific settings of the host-side driver, which may support multiple application programming interfaces. The dedicated driver-to-driver connection may also be used to transfer data between the client-side driver and the host-side driver. In another aspect, the host sends an identifier of a hosted application that is currently in use to a client-side driver that uses the identifier to look up and apply application-specific settings to tablet data sent to the hosted application. This may eliminate the need for host-side drivers while still allowing application-specific settings for h
