Magnification interface with independent pointer sizing

One or more non-transitory tangible computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions for performing a method by running a software program on a computer, the computer operating under an operating system, the method including issuing instructions from the software program comprising:

• magnifying in synchronization both a graphic user interface and a pointing indicia;
• establishing a magnification convergence value;
• responsive to a magnification level of the graphic user interface exceeding the convergence value, decoupling synchronization and displaying the pointing indicia magnified at a lesser relative factor than the graphic user interface magnification level;
• responsive to a magnification level of the graphic user interface below or equal to the convergence value re-coupling synchronization and displaying the pointing indicia magnified at a factor relative to the graphic user interface magnification level;
• responsive to a first user-initiated event, decoupling synchronization to display the pointing indicia to a user-selectable level magnification level;
• and
• responsive to a second user-initiated event, re-coupling synchronization to display the pointing indicia according to the convergence value.

One or more non-transitory tangible computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions for performing a method by running a software program on a computer, the computer operating under an operating system, the method including issuing instructions from the software program comprising:

• magnifying in synchronization both a graphic user interface and a pointing indicia;
• establishing a pointing indicia floor value for magnification;
• and
• responsive to a modification of a current magnification level of the graphic user interface at or below the floor value, decoupling synchronization and displaying the pointing indicia at the floor value until the magnification level of the graphic user interface increases above the floor valve whereby synchronization is re-coupled.

A method of magnifying a graphic user interface and a pointing indicia on an operating system executed by a computer processor, the method comprising:

• magnifying in synchronization both the graphic user interface and the pointing indicia;
• establishing a pointing indicia ceiling value for magnification;
• and
• responsive to a modification of a current magnification level of the graphic user interface exceeding the ceiling value, decoupling synchronization and displaying the pointing indicia at the ceiling value unless the magnification level of the graphic user interface falls below the ceiling value whereby synchronization is re-coupled.

A method of magnifying a graphic user interface and a pointing indicia on an operating system executed by a computer processor, the method comprising:

• magnifying in synchronization both the graphic user interface and the pointing indicia;
• establishing a pointing indicia floor value for magnification;
• and
• responsive to a modification of a current magnification level of the graphic user interface at or below the floor value, decoupling synchronization and displaying the pointing indicia at the floor value until the magnification level of the graphic user interface increases above the floor valve whereby synchronization is re-coupled.

The method of claim 16 further comprising the steps of:

• detecting the resolution of the minor axis of the graphic user interface as displayed to an end user;
• establishing a floor value scale;
• and
• dividing the resolution of the minor axis by the floor value scale to compute the pointing indicia floor value.
