<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a height dependent filter for a pointing device or digitizer tablet, a method for reducing jitter in position data of a pointing device, and a computer readable medium. <P>SOLUTION: A method for stabilizing position data in a digitizer tablet associated with a display device for reporting a pointer position includes detecting a current location of the pointer with respect to a coordinate grid defined on the tablet, and outputting a position signal indicative of the current pointer location. Noise is filtered from the position signal on the basis of at least one filter parameter. A distance between the pointer and a point on the tablet is determined, and an amount of jitter in the position signal is determined on the basis of the determined distance. At least one filter parameter is adjusted on the basis of the estimated amount of jitter. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
