ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling a cursor or other visible object on a display screen responsive to manipulation of a mouse or other input device includes defining a continuous-motion zone, and moving the visible object substantially continuously on the display screen while the input device indicates a position in the continuous-motion zone. Optionally, the object is held fast on the screen while the input device indicates positions within a predetermined null zone to avoid drift. Intermediate the null zone and the continuous-motion zone, the cursor is repositioned on the screen as in response to a conventional mouse.
