Method for controlling a display element by a games console

A control process of a position and/or travel of a display element generated on a display screen by a video games console coupled to a games controller comprising a control lever arranged to be shifted by a user according to at least two degrees of liberty in a zone delimited by a mechanical stop, the process comprising the steps of:

• measuring a position of the control lever in the determined zone with at least one sensor (12) outputting at least one electric signal per degree of liberty,
• projecting in a base plane the position of the control lever measured with said at least one sensor, to determine a first set of coordinates,
• determining a homothetic figure (FH) of a projection of the mechanical stop in the base plane, centered on a rest position of the control lever and passing through the projected position of the control lever in the base plane,
• determining a circumscribed square (Ccfh) on the homothetic figure (FH),
• projecting onto the circumscribed square (Ccfh) at least one coordinate of the first set of coordinates;
• and
• calculating a second set of coordinates in a Cartesian frame of reference, on the basis of the projection of said at least one coordinate of the first set of coordinates on the circumscribed square (Ccfh) so as to be able to send to the console the second set of Cartesian coordinates which is an image of the first set of coordinates.
