  • VARIABLE SPEED AUTOSCROLL SYSTEM AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20150253875
    Abstract: A variable speed autoscroll system is disclosed. The variable speed scrolling system includes a control device, such as a scrolling wheel or other suitable control member. A user may select a scrolling speed by displacing the control member, and a non-linear increase in scrolling speed based on the degree of displacement of the control member is achieved. The control member may be disposed in a computer mouse, keyboard, or other peripheral device. In various embodiments, the user may toggle between various sensitivity levels to achieve a greater or lesser degree of increase in scrolling speed based on the amount of displacement of the control member. Optionally, the user may input the set of parameters to determine the dynamics of the system.
