Abstract
A processing system includes a touch screen display, and another input device such as a track pad and/or mouse. The processing system includes a graphical user interface (GUI) having a cursor control component to hide the cursor on the touch screen display when an input signal is sensed from the touch screen display, and to show the cursor on the touch screen display when the input signal is sensed from the other input device.
Claims9
In a processing system having a touch screen display and a second input device, a method of controlling a cursor comprising:
- sensing an input signal from one of the touch screen display and the second input device;
- hiding the cursor on the touch screen display when the input signal is from the touch screen display;
- and
- showing the cursor on the touch screen display when the input signal is from the second input device.
A machine-readable medium comprising one or more instructions that when executed on a processor of a processing system, the processing system including a touch screen display and a second input device, to perform one or more operations to control a cursor on the touch screen display by sensing an input signal from one of the touch screen display and the second input device;
- hiding the cursor on the touch screen display when the input signal is from the touch screen display;
- and showing the cursor on the touch screen display when the input signal is from the second input device.
A processing system comprising:
- a touch screen display;
- a second input device;
- and
- a graphical user interface (GUI) coupled to the touch screen display and the second input device, the GUI comprising a cursor control component to hide the cursor on the touch screen display when an input signal is sensed from the touch screen display, and to show the cursor on the touch screen display when the input signal is sensed from the second input device.
