20080222573 | Computer mouse with cursor finding function and faster screen privacy function - A computer pointing device has a first additional button that jumps a cursor off the screen to the START button. The second additional button protects the privacy of screen content by instantly moving the cursor to the minimize box of the most recently opened window. When multiple child windows are open, in cascade or tile format, pressing again on the second button instantly moves the cursor to the second most recently opened window. If the child windows are in cascade format, that second most recently opened window jumps to the foreground with the cursor at the minimize box. Further pressing the second button moves the cursor to the third most recently opened window. If there are three buttons and a fourth press of the second button is made, the cursor moves back to the most recently opened child window and, if in cascade format, that window returns to the foreground. | 09-11-2008 |

20150082254 | PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - Disclosed is a processing apparatus, which makes it possible to make a cursor automatically move by employing a pointing device. The processing apparatus includes a control section and a processing section that implements processing under the controlling operations conducted by the control section. The control section is provided with: a display controlling function that controls the displaying operations on the screen; a processing implementation controlling function that implements the processing corresponding to the object designated by the cursor; a status change detecting function that detects a status change against which it is necessary to implement a processing operation; and an automatic cursor moving function that conducts the controlling operations so as to automatically move the cursor to the object corresponding to the processing operation being necessary for the status change concerned, or a processing implementation position display, at which the necessary processing operation should be implemented against the status change. | 03-19-2015 |
20150378554 | EDGE-BASED HOOKING GESTURES FOR INVOKING USER INTERFACES - Presented herein are techniques for invoking user interfaces in graphical computing environments involving “hooking” gestures applicable to an edge of a display. These gestures involve positioning a pointer near an edge of the display depicting the environment, and then moving the cursor to a second location that is distanced from but near the first location (e.g., moving the pointer into a corner of the display, and then toward the center of the display, or to a midpoint of an adjacent edge of the display), resulting in the presentation of the user interface under the pointer at the second location. Variations include presenting a preview of the user interface (e.g., a subset of a user interface menu) at the second location while the pointer is in the first location, and refraining from presenting the user interface upon failing to complete the gesture or receiving extraneous input before completing the gesture. | 12-31-2015 |

20160018966 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING USER INTERACTION WITH DISPLAYED INFORMATION - A method of enhancing user interaction with content displayed on a display of a touch screen device is provided. The method includes displaying at least one enhanced cursor within a viewable area of the display, the at least one enhanced cursor having a predefined action associated therewith, and receiving a selection of the at least one enhanced cursor. The method also includes detecting movement of the selected at least one enhance cursor onto displayed content, and executing the predefined action on the content. The method may further include detecting a subject matter of content being displayed on a display of a device coupled to the processor. Furthermore, a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for execution by a processor that cause the processor to perform the provided method may also be provided. | 01-21-2016 |
20160054883 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR POSITIONING CURSOR - A method for positioning a cursor in an input box on a display interface of a touch screen includes receiving a first touch operation associated with the input box; determining target content in the input box, an operating distance of the first touch operation, and an operating direction of the first touch operation; moving the target content by a distance corresponding to the operating distance along the operating direction to form a blank space between a side of the input box and a side edge of the target content; receiving a second touch operation associated with the blank space; and positioning the cursor at a cursor position in the blank space. | 02-25-2016 |
20160070435 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CURSOR-BASED APPLICATION MANAGEMENT - A system and method of managing applications and event notifications using a cursor-based GUI, wherein the cursor-based GUI is located adjacent to the cursor and provides a user with the ability manage and monitor a plurality of dynamically updated applications, commands and event notifications via a persistent and centralized interface. Since the cursor-based GUI is persistent in nature, the plurality of applications, commands and event notifications can be accessed regardless of the user's computer environment. The user can manage user authentication requirements and other configuration information for the cursor-based GUI. | 03-10-2016 |
20160070459 | MAGNIFICATION INTERFACE WITH INDEPENDENT POINTER SIZING - A computer program for rendering a magnified graphic user interface (GUI) establishes an initial magnification level for the graphic user interface and the pointing indicia. The GUI and the pointing indicia are magnified in synchronization until the magnification convergence point is reached. At magnification levels above the convergence point, magnification of the GUI and the pointing indicia becomes decoupled, and only GUI is magnified while the pointing indicia remain at the convergence magnification level. If the GUI magnification level falls below the convergence point, the magnification of GUI and the pointing indicia is recoupled and magnification becomes synchronized. Floor and ceiling magnification values for the pointing indicia may also be established. | 03-10-2016 |
20160085408 | INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF - The application provides an information processing method and an electronic device. The information processing method comprises: monitoring location information of a characteristic point with respect to a first interface displayed on a first electronic device; determining whether the location information of the characteristic point satisfies a preset condition; and keeping the displayed content of the first interface unchanged, and pre-loading first data corresponding to the characteristic point if the location information of the characteristic point satisfies the preset condition, so as to enable second content corresponding to the pre-loaded first data to be displayed on the first electronic device upon the first electronic device receives a switching operation corresponding to the first data. | 03-24-2016 |
20160124607 | E-MAIL INTERFACE HAVING AN INFORMATIONAL TOOL TIP - An interface enables perception of information regarding e-mail communications. The interface includes an e-mail application user interface that enables perception of e-mail message information for one or more e-mails received by an e-mail participant and that enables active display of one or more of the received e-mails selected by the e-mail participant, The interface also includes a mechanism that determines a request for e-mail message information for one of the e-mails from within a desired e-mail message that is not actively displayed. The interface further includes an informational tool tip that provides a temporary perceivable indication to the e-mail participant of at least a portion of the requested information for the desired e-mail message while maintaining active display of the one or more selected e-mails. | 05-05-2016 |
