20080238873 | MOUSE INCLUDING STORAGE - In some embodiments a mouse includes a user interface to interact with a computing device and storage to store information received from the computing device. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 10-02-2008 |
20090040182 | System, Method and Computer Program for Controlling a Cursor - A cursor control device is shown for enabling a user to input directional commands; a display for displaying a plurality of discrete areas and a cursor; a cursor controller for controlling the movement of the cursor in the display in response to the directional input commands, having: a first operational state in which a cursor is moved, in response to input directional commands from the cursor control device, within a first discrete area in a free-roaming manner and a second operational state in which a cursor is moved, in response to input directional commands from the cursor control device, in a discrete-roaming manner from discrete area to discrete area; and a user operable switching means for controlling the operational state of the cursor controller. | 02-12-2009 |
20090073121 | Hand Activated Input Device with Horizontal Control Surface - A cursor control device horizontally positioned operating surface is mounted on a vertical shaft connected to a biaxial joint which is enclosed in the base of the device. The hand of the operator rests on the operating surface and tips it in any direction so the shaft follows the movement of his/her hand. The motion is interpreted as X and Y coordinates on a computer display screen. The coordinate information is digitized and sent to the main computer to display a cursor on the display screen. | 03-19-2009 |
20090096749 | PORTABLE DEVICE INPUT TECHNIQUE - Some embodiments of the present invention provide a portable device that receives user input. The portable device includes a touchpad and a display screen on opposite sides of the portable device. During operation, the portable device obtains a position on the touchpad provided by a user, obtains a screen position from the position by transposing a coordinate of the position, and updates the display screen using the screen position. | 04-16-2009 |
20090309833 | INPUT CONTROLLER USED TOGETHER WITH POINTING DEVICE AND INPUT CONTROL METHOD - Coordinate data on a position pointed out by a pointer on a screen is stored in a storage section. When a control switch (ball) is depressed, the coordinate data corresponding to a moment before a predetermined time counted substantially from the moment when the control switch is depressed is read from the storage section and a processing associated with the pointed position corresponding to the coordinate data is performed. | 12-17-2009 |
20100265177 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, DISPLAY CONTROLLING METHOD AND PROGRAM - An electronic apparatus includes an image-capturing direction acquiring unit that acquires an image-capturing direction as a direction in which an object included in a captured image exists based on an image-capturing position during the image-capturing of the captured image, a converting unit that converts a map including the image-capturing position so that the acquired image-capturing direction on the map corresponds with a specific direction on a display plane where the map is displayed, and a display controlling unit that causes the display of the converted map in association with the captured image. | 10-21-2010 |
20150355735 | MOBILE TERMINAL AND CURSOR DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD - A mobile phone comprises a display provided with a touch panel, etc. When an end portion of the touch panel is touched, a touch icon that indicates a touch position is displayed. Furthermore, if a distance between the touch position and the end portion of the touch panel becomes larger than a first threshold value, a cursor is displayed based on the touch position. This cursor moves if a touch position changes with a touch operation. At this time, if a moving amount of the cursor is large, an afterimage object that indicates the last position (locus) of the cursor is displayed. On the other hand, a moving amount of the cursor is small, the above-described afterimage object is not displayed. | 12-10-2015 |
20160132105 | DEVICE, METHOD, AND SYSTEM OF DETECTING USER IDENTITY BASED ON MOTOR-CONTROL LOOP MODEL - Device, system, and method of detecting identity of a user based on motor-control loop model. A method includes: during a first session of a user who utilizes a pointing device for interacting with a computerized service, monitoring the pointing device dynamics and gestures of the user; based on the monitored dynamics and gestures, estimating parameters that characterize a sensorimotor control loop model of the user; storing in a database a record indicating that the user is associated with the parameters that characterize the sensorimotor control loop model of the user. | 05-12-2016 |
20160162057 | INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing method including: storing sequential data relating to movements of a target object over a specified plain, sequentially estimating a plurality of first likelihoods of a position of the target object in a direction of the specified plain based on the sequential data, each of the plurality of first likelihoods associating with each hypothesis on the movements of the target object, sequentially estimating a plurality of second likelihoods of touch of the target object on the specified plain based on the sequential data, each of the plurality of second likelihoods corresponding to each of the plurality of first likelihoods, and updating the plurality of first likelihoods based on the plurality of second likelihoods. | 06-09-2016 |
