Abstract
A system may include a controller configured to determine a user interface status, wherein the user interface status includes user interaction of a user interface. The controller may also be configured to determine a drive mechanism location relative to a first limit and a second limit and select a clutching location based on the user interface status and drive mechanism location.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- determine a user interface status;
- determine a drive mechanism location relative to a first limit and a second limit;
- and
- select a clutching location based on the user interface status and drive mechanism location,
- wherein the user interface status is indicative of user interaction of a user interface and comprises at least one of an active status and an inactive status, and
- wherein the inactive status is based on a determination by the controller that user interaction of the user interface has ceased.
4 more elements
A method, comprising:
- determining a user interface status, the user interface status being indicative of a user interaction of a user interface and comprising at least one of an active status and an inactive status, wherein the inactive status is based on a determination that user interaction of the user interface has ceased;
- determining a drive mechanism location relative to a first limit and a second limit along a slave device;
- and
- determining whether to clutch the slave device based on the user interface status and drive mechanism location.
1 more element
A non-transitory computer readable medium tangibly embodying computer-executable instructions, comprising:
- determining a user interface status, the user interface status being indicative of a user interaction of a user interface and comprising at least one of an active status and an inactive status, wherein the inactive status is based on a determination that user interaction of the user interface has ceased;
- determining a drive mechanism location relative to a first limit and a second limit along a slave device;
- and
- determining whether to clutch the slave device based on the user interface status and drive mechanism location.
