  • Proportional pointer transition between multiple display devices
    Patent number: 9514707
    Abstract: An approach is provided for automatically calculating and delivering proportional pointer locations during transition between multiple visual display devices (e.g., in regard to their characteristics, which may be heterogeneous, homogenous, or a mixture thereof). Specifically, the approaches described herein provide a solution for finding proportional locations of a pointer's on-screen graphic as the pointer is being transitioned/moved between multiple display devices (e.g., controlled by a single computer or controller).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 29, 2015
    Date of Patent: December 6, 2016
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventor: Mark G. Matel
