Mouse Gesture Visual Image Transfer Multi-Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In multi-display configurations of information handling systems, mouse cursor position changes are delayed when managing large amounts of information, leading to user confusion and incomplete window transfers between displays.
Innovation Solution
A processing resource on the mouse detects a predetermined condition, such as a left click and a secondary indication like a flick or hot key input, to accelerate the movement of the window's visual image across displays, reducing transition time without requiring specialized commands or system coordination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the information handling system manages large amounts of information across multiple displays, then the system can present comprehensive visual information to the user, but the mouse cursor position change is delayed causing user confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-calculates and prepares cursor position updates before they are needed. When a window is being dragged across displays, the cursor position is updated in advance on the destination display, ensuring that the cursor appears immediately at the correct location without delay, thus resolving the contradiction between managing large information quantities and maintaining cursor responsiveness.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system processes window movement across multiple displays, then the user can interact with visual images on any display, but the cursor movement becomes delayed and causes incomplete window transfers
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the cursor position updates are continuously monitored and adjusted. When a window is being dragged across displays, the system provides real-time feedback by updating the cursor position on the destination display, ensuring that the window transfer is completed reliably and the user can see the cursor at the correct location, thus resolving the contradiction between display adaptability and transfer reliability.
3Ease of operation
If the information handling system manages cursor coordinates across multiple displays, then the user can move the cursor between displays, but the cursor position management becomes complex and causes delays
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the cursor position management logic from the complex multi-display coordination system and handles it separately. By isolating the cursor position updates and processing them independently before applying them to the multi-display system, the complexity is reduced and the cursor movement becomes more responsive, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and device complexity.

AI summary
An information handling system mouse autonomously provides a rapid visual image transition from a first display to a second display in response to a predetermined condition detected at the mouse, such as a left click that an end user performs when on the visual image title bar accompanied by a gesture or a hot key input. The mouse responds to the inputs by commanding an acceleration of movement of the cursor coordinates so that the information handling system rapidly moves the visual image from the first display to the second. In various embodiments, the movement can include a selection to go to a full screen presentation or to keep the visual image size the same. The visual image transfer is performed without any coordination with the information handling system other than commanding cursor coordinate movements.
