Title:
Adaptive area cursor
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6124908
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Described is a technology by which a user's cursor movement is assisted to help select elements of a user interface that may be otherwise difficult to target. An area cursor is provided that may intersect more than one element. If so, a computation result (e.g., a percentage) is computed for each intersected element that is based upon intersection with the cursor and a total size of the element; the largest percentage intersection is selected. The computation (e.g., intersected area divided by total element area) favors smaller elements as they have a smaller area in the denominator. Also described is changing the cursor size to help hit elements and/or based upon one or more criteria. Still further described is determining the total size of an element based upon weighting, in addition to or instead of the element's actual size. Weighting may be based upon one or more criteria.
