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.

Broadly speaking, the present invention provides apparatus and methods for determining whether a byte code formatted computer program handles pointer device events. It is determined whether the computer program includes byte codes that process a pointer device event, and a tag is associated with the examined byte code that has been determined to process a pointer device event. In still another embodiment, the invention pertains to a computer-implemented method for examining a computer program having byte codes. The computer program may contain code for displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) component on a display device. The byte codes of the GUI component are examined to determine whether the GUI component is associated with a pointer device event. If it is determined that the GUI component is associated with a pointer device event, a tag is associated with the GUI component. The tag indicates that the GUI component responds to pointer device events. The GUI component is eventually displayed on the display device.

Disclosed is a device having user interface means, which enables a predetermined pointer to point a menu selected from a screen by a user with directional buttons, for controlling a menu shift with directional buttons. The device according to the invention includes a perceiving section for perceiving pushed or released state of the directional buttons to generate a command for shift of a menu or a page depending on the period of time for pushing directional buttons, a pointer carrier for substantially shifting the position of the pointer, which is pointing one of the menus currently being displayed on the screen in response to the generated command for shift of a menu or a page, and a timer for checking whether or not push of the directional button continues for a predetermined period of time, and notifying the checked result to the perceiving section.

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).

The invention provides a method for human-computer interaction on a graphical user interface (GUI), a GUI, a navigation tool, computers and computer operated devices. The method includes the steps of: determining coordinates of a pointer with, or relative, to an input device; determining coordinates of interactive objects of which at least two objects are displayed; establishing a threshold in relation to the interactive objects and in relation to space about them; prioritising the interactive objects in relation to their distance and / or direction to the pointer; moving the interactive objects and thresholds relative to the object priority; repeating the above steps every time the coordinates of the pointer changes; and performing an action when a threshold is reached.

The invention relates to a method for simplifying the adaptation of a transmission characteristic of a hearing aid (4) determined by hearing aid-specific parameters by means of a data processing device (1) comprising a display (7) and a display device (2). For this purpose, it is proposed to use the pointing device (2) to select and copy an object displayed in the first display area on the graphical user interface, and to move and place the copy in the second display area, wherein the hearing aid (4) The transport properties can be changed by the placed object. The invention has the advantage that settings selected for a hearing aid (4) or a hearing program can be quickly and easily transferred to a second hearing aid or a second hearing program.

The invention relates to a method, a computer program product and a device for providing user information relating to a screen object selected by a user with a pointer tool within a graphical user interface. In order to provide the most comprehensive assistance possible to a user when operating the pointer tool, the following method steps are proposed:detecting the selected screen object,continuously registering the position of the selected screen object within the graphical user interface while the screen object is being moved by the user by means of the pointer tool,displaying a window which follows the position of the selected screen object and contains text-based information which is dependent on the position of the selected screen object.

A computer implemented method and apparatus for controlling display of displayed digital content using eye movement. The method comprises mapping eye movements, tracked by a camera of a display device, to an area of interest of displayed content. A window containing a magnified version of display content from within the area of interest is generated. The magnified display content from the area of interest is displayed together with display content from outside the area of interest. A hovering pointer gesture is optionally displayed within the area of interest or a selectable function is performed if display content within the area of interest corresponds to a user interface function or a navigation option. According to some embodiments, the window containing magnified display content is only generated and displayed when the display content within the area of interest does not correspond to a user selectable function.
