    Abstract: Enhanced visibility of icons and other types of menu items is provided by increasing size and or skew or both of one or more icons or menu items in a generally inverse relation to proximity of a cursor image address to particular icons or menu items. Increase of size enhances user recognition of an ordinarily small menu item or icon and simultaneously provides the effect of stabilizing cursor position during selection without affecting linearity of response to a graphic input device. Skew and repeated expansion may be used to attract user attention while repeated expansion simplifies icon manipulation by the user in determining a response to a mandatory input demand from an application.

    Abstract: An integrated manual control input device is provided for use in a computer system having a graphical user interface. The device comprises a keyboard unit having a plurality of keys, a pointing actuator mounted to the keyboard between preselected ones of the keys for engagement by a user's index finger, at least one click button assembly pivotably mounted to the keyboard unit adjacent the keys and a normally open momentary switch beneath the click button assembly. The click button assembly has a button moveable downwardly by a user's thumb to select an ON state and subsequently releasable to select an OFF state. The button is also moveable downwardly and slidable laterally in a rearward direction to select a locked ON state to facilitate a drag operation.

    Abstract: A pointing system for controlling a cursor on a computer display device includes a single control actuator that ordinarily controls movement of the cursor on the display device and also detects if an applied cursor force matches a predetermined tap signature. If the applied force substantially matches the predetermined tap signature, then the system responds to the applied force by initiating one or more display actions rather than by moving the display cursor. The system detects tap signature forces applied along the x, y, and z axes of the control actuator and responds by retrieving a cursor context comprising a window display and corresponding cursor location from a queue and opening the associated window. That is, the system changes the active window from among windows of a graphical user interface, preserving the cursor position within each window. Other tap signature responses can correspond to functions initiated by programmable function keys or to user-defined functions. The force signature needed to initiate the display actions comprises a short duration, low level of force, such as a tap on the cursor control actuator that defines a sawtooth-type pulse having a rapidly rising leading edge and a slower falling trailing edge. Off-axis forces, which cannot be detected as occurring primarily along one of the three axes, are ignored to prevent inadvertent, undirected bumping of the control actuator from initiating unwanted action.

    Abstract: A pointer system provides multiple display pointers that can be created and identified by a computer user such that each pointer is associated with a particular application and location within an application. A user can recall respective pointers and pointer locations by selecting a pointer identifier. One or more of the pointers can be defined as anchored pointers, which are associated with one or more user actions. The user actions can comprise a variety of functions, including mouse button clicks. In this way, a user can define anchored pointers and carry out a string of user actions by selecting the identifying character of an anchored pointer.
