<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a user interface allowing a user to simulate a mouse hovering with the user's finger on a touch-sensitive display. <P>SOLUTION: When a finger or other stylus touches the touch-sensitive display adjacent to a cursor, a control appears that enables the user to drug the cursor about the display by dragging the control. Manipulation of the control allows the user to see the cursor while it moves, making it easier to accurately target small objects. A tap or other user touch input is funneled from the control to the location of the cursor itself. If the user taps on the control, the tap causes an event such as a left mouse button down event to be generated at the location of the cursor as opposed to the location of the tap. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
