Cursor Control System with Jump Image for Multi-Device Switching

The patent introduces a boundary detection mechanism as an intermediary between the cursor movement and desktop switching. When the cursor reaches the boundary of a working desktop, the system detects this position and automatically triggers the desktop switching function, allowing the cursor to switch to another working desktop without requiring the user to manually move it to extreme boundaries or perform additional actions. This intermediary detection mechanism streamlines the switching process and reduces unnecessary cursor movement distance.

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-positioning the cursor at optimal locations within working desktops and pre-detecting boundary conditions. When the cursor approaches a boundary, the system prepares the switching mechanism in advance, so that the transition to another desktop can occur smoothly and quickly without requiring the user to perform lengthy manual movements or wait for system processing delays.

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors the cursor's position relative to the working desktop boundaries. When the cursor reaches or approaches a boundary, the system provides visual feedback (such as highlighting or changing the appearance of the boundary) to indicate that a switch is available. This feedback loop allows users to intuitively understand when they can switch devices without needing to memorize complex control sequences or understand the underlying system mechanics, thereby simplifying the operation.

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting when the cursor reaches the boundary and initiating the desktop switching process without requiring additional user input. The boundary detection mechanism and switching logic are built into the system, allowing it to autonomously manage the transition between working desktops and electronic devices. This self-service capability eliminates the need for users to perform complex manual operations or remember specific control sequences, thereby simplifying the interaction.

The patent segments the large working space into multiple smaller working desktops, each associated with a specific electronic device or application context. By dividing the overall workspace into manageable segments, the cursor only needs to traverse short distances within or between adjacent segments rather than covering the entire expanse of a single large desktop. This segmentation approach maintains multi-host connection capability while significantly reducing the actual cursor movement distance required for switching between devices.

The patent introduces an additional spatial dimension by stacking or arranging multiple working desktops in a multi-dimensional layout rather than a single flat plane. This allows the cursor to switch between working desktops associated with different electronic hosts by moving in a compact multi-dimensional space rather than traversing long distances across a single extended desktop. The dimensional transformation enables efficient navigation while preserving the ability to access multiple hosts.
