ABSTRACT:
A user interface for a computer system display in which a random bounce mode is entered after a period of inactivity by the user. A timer is started at the cessation of user input. Once the timer has reached a predetermined threshold, e.g., one to five minutes, a random bounce mode is entered in which a cursor is continuously moved in the user interface. The system exits the random bounce mode once user input to the computer system is detected.
