  • Patent number: 10157032
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for logically positioning a second display screen relative to a first display screen including detecting a collision event of a cursor with an edge the first display screen, logically positioning the second display screen at the edge of the first display screen, calculating a projected path of the cursor, displaying the cursor on the second display screen, detecting a mouse event, calculating an offset between the mouse event and the projected path, and logically repositioning the second display screen consistent with the offset.

  • Publication number: 20180232064
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for positioning a cursor on a display screen connected to a computer, including dividing the display screen into a logical grid having plurality of sections, maintaining a value for each of the plurality of sections, determining an eye-gaze location on the display screen, determining an eye-gaze duration for the eye-gaze location, incrementing a first value of a first section of the plurality of sections corresponding to the eye-gaze location after the eye-gaze duration exceeds a first predetermined threshold, decrementing the first value after a second predetermined threshold, receiving an input signal from a pointing device, the input signal including an X coordinate and a Y coordinate, calculating a net force of gravity due to each value of the plurality of sections, and updating the X coordinate and Y coordinate consistent with the net force of gravity.

  • Publication number: 20160313804
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for setting the position of a cursor on a display screen including determining an eye-gaze location on the display screen, receiving a move-intent input, displaying a ghost cursor at the eye-gaze location, receiving a confirmation-intent input, and repositioning the cursor to the eye-gaze location. The move-intent input can be, for example, a button press on an input device such as a mouse and the confirmation-intent input can be, for example releasing the button on the input device. Method can further include fine-tuning the ghost cursor position and hiding the ghost cursor.

  • Publication number: 20160313805
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for positioning a cursor on a display screen including, determining an eye-gaze location on the display screen, determining an eye-gaze duration at the eye-gaze location, increasing a value of a gravity well associated with the eye-gaze location when the eye-gaze duration exceeds a first predetermined threshold duration, receiving a cursor position from an input device, calculating a net force of gravity due to the gravity well, updating the cursor position consistent with the net force of gravity, and decreasing the value of the gravity well after a second predetermined threshold duration.

  • Publication number: 20160313813
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining the position of a cursor on a display screen connected to a computer including entering a pattern on an input device connected to the computer and displaying an indicator on the display screen identifying the position of the cursor. The input device can be a mouse and the pattern can be a predetermined set of movements. Upon entering the predetermined movements, an easy-to-see indicator can identify the location of the cursor.
