Some embodiments provide a device, method, system, computer program product and user interface for pointer movement analysis with modal continuous controller conversion. Specifically, some embodiments adapt movements issued from a mouse input device, trackpad, or touchscreen to adjust a position of a UI element. Some embodiments analyze a first set of movements and adapt a subsequent second set of movements to adjust the position of the UI element within a range of UI element positions when the first set of movements satisfies a movement threshold. The movement threshold includes a spiral pattern. In some embodiments, adjusting the position of the UI element includes performing scrolling within a scroll area based on the second set of movements when the first set of movements satisfies the spiral pattern.

A computing system is provided that includes a display 124 for displaying information and an audible locating agent 148 that, as a pointer moves over the display, plays audible locating signals to identify spatial locations of at least some of the displayed information.

The invention relates to an electronic device and a method for operating screen. The electronic device, comprises: a screen being capable of displaying a working window and an executing window, a user interface module, wherein when a pointer is positioned on the executing window, the user interface module generates a first sensing signal for displaying at least one item on the screen, when the pointer selects the item, the user interface module generates a second sensing signal, and when the pointer drags the item to the working window, the user interface module generates a third sensing signal; and a processing module for continuously receiving the first, second and third sensing signals that are sequentially generated by the user interface module to open a user interface corresponding to the item in the working window, wherein the user interface is adjacent to the pointer. The electronic device and the method for operating screen accords with the operation mode of the human engineering and increases the use convenience.

Method for controlling a combined eye and gesture tracking system (100), wherein the method comprises providing a graphical user interface (102) to a user including a plurality of graphical items (110) displayed on the graphical user interface (102, 300), displaying a graphical pointer (120) on the graphical user interface (102, 310), detecting a user eye gaze (210) associated with the eyes of theuser (320), detecting a displacement user gesture (230) associated with a body part of the user (330), and controlling a rate of movement of the graphical pointer (120) on the graphical user interface based on the displacement user gesture (230) and the user eye gaze (210, 340).

A computer-implemented method and system creates an interactive learning environment. Windows are created for guiding a user through a series of steps to perform a task supported by a computer software application. The windows contain textual and / or visual content that informs the user of the elements to accomplish the task. At least one of the windows contains a pointer indicating a location of a command in a user interface of the computer software application. User interaction is enabled during the execution of the series of steps, allowing for user input.
