Abstract
A system for controlling a cursor is provided. The system includes a monitored system that generates user interface data and mouse position data, such as would be provided in a monitor window. A remote monitoring system receives the user interface data and mouse control data, such as for controlling the location of a cursor in a local window and a monitor window. A mouse synchronization system receives the user interface data and the mouse control data and generates mouse calibration data based on the user interface data and the mouse control data, such as by determining the actual movement of the mouse using video data and determining a correction factor related to the estimated location of the mouse, based on mouse control data.
Claims20
A system for cursor calibration comprising:
- a monitored system generating user interface data and mouse control data;
- a remote monitoring system receiving the user interface data and mouse control data;
- and
- a mouse coordinate system receiving the user interface data and the cursor control data and generating mouse calibration data based on the user interface data and the cursor control data.
A method for controlling a cursor comprising:
- determining a change in video data for a monitored frame;
- determining whether the change in video data corresponds to a cursor movement;
- and
- calibrating a cursor location based on the change in video data.
A method for controlling a cursor comprising:
- generating a monitor window for a remote monitored system within a local window;
- moving a cursor from the local window into the monitor window;
- determining a calibration factor for the cursor;
- and
- applying the calibration factor to mouse control data so as to maintain continuity when the cursor is moved from the monitor window to the local window.
