Abstract
A system for determining an input modifier for an input to a computer based on data sets from multiple users, including a correlation unit configured to: receive data sets from multiple users, each data set relating to display output data including a current location and a target location for a user, and corresponding user input data responsive to the display output data; and determine an input modifier based on the data sets, relating a distance between the current location and the target location for a user, to a time taken for the user to move from the current location to the target location.

A system for determining an input modifier for an input to a computer based on data sets from multiple users, comprising a correlation unit configured to:
- receive data sets from multiple users, each data set relating to display output data including a current location and a target location for a user, and corresponding user input data responsive to the display output data;
- and
- determine an input modifier based on the data sets, relating a distance between the current location and the target location for a user, to a time taken for the user to move from the current location to the target location.
A system for adjusting an input to a computer using an input modifier, comprising a processor configured to:
- receive an input from an input device;
- adjust the input based on an input modifier derived by a correlation unit, the correlation unit having been configured to determine the input modifier based on data sets from multiple users, each data set relating to display output data including a current location and a target location, and corresponding user input data responsive to the display output data,
- wherein the input modifier relates a distance between the current location and the target location to a time taken for the user to move from the current location to the target location.
A method for determining an input modifier for an input to a computer based on data sets from multiple users, comprising:
- receiving data sets from multiple users, each data set relating to display output data including a current location and a target location for a user, and corresponding user input data responsive to the display output data;
- and
- determining an input modifier based on the data sets, relating a distance between the current location and the target location for a user, to a time taken for the user to move from the current location to the target location.
A non-transitory, computer readable storage medium containing a computer program comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method for determining an input modifier for an input to a computer based on data sets from multiple users, comprising:
- receiving data sets from multiple users, each data set relating to display output data including a current location and a target location for a user, and corresponding user input data responsive to the display output data;
- and
- determining an input modifier based on the data sets, relating a distance between the current location and the target location for a user, to a time taken for the user to move from the current location to the target location.
A method for adjusting an input to a computer using an input modifier, comprising:
- receiving an input from an input device;
- adjusting the input based on an input modifier derived by a correlation unit, the correlation unit having been configured to determine the input modifier based on data sets from multiple users, each data set relating to display output data including a current location and a target location, and corresponding user input data responsive to the display output data,
- wherein the input modifier relates a distance between the current location and the target location to a time taken for the user to move from the current location to the target location.
A non-transitory, computer readable storage medium containing a computer program comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method for adjusting an input to a computer using an input modifier, comprising:
- receiving an input from an input device;
- adjusting the input based on an input modifier derived by a correlation unit, the correlation unit having been configured to determine the input modifier based on data sets from multiple users, each data set relating to display output data including a current location and a target location, and corresponding user input data responsive to the display output data,
- wherein the input modifier relates a distance between the current location and the target location to a time taken for the user to move from the current location to the target location.
