Resolving Mouse Cross-Screen Issues

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to perform cross-screen movement operations in a multiple display device computer configuration, at least by:

• receiving, from a user interface device, an input specifying a movement of a displayed element on a first display screen of the multiple display device computer configuration;
• calculating a path of motion of the displayed element based on the input;
• comparing the path of motion to a junction margin of the first display screen to determine if the path of motion intersects the junction margin, wherein the junction margin is a margin of the first display screen that virtually adjoins a margin of a second display screen of the multiple display device computer configuration;
• in response to the path of motion intersecting the junction margin, placing the displayed element at a first point of the junction margin;
• and
• in response to receiving a subsequent input having a subsequent path of motion that intersects the junction margin, performing a cross-screen movement operation to move the displayed element to an end point of the subsequent path of motion in the second display screen.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform cross-screen movement operations in a multiple display device computer configuration, at least by:
• receiving, from a user interface device, an input specifying a movement of a displayed element on a first display screen of the multiple display device computer configuration;
• calculating a path of motion of the displayed element based on the input;
• comparing the path of motion to a junction margin of the first display screen to determine if the path of motion intersects the junction margin, wherein the junction margin is a margin of the first display screen that virtually adjoins a margin of a second display screen of the multiple display device computer configuration;
• in response to the path of motion intersecting the junction margin, placing the displayed element at a first point of the junction margin;
• and
• in response to receiving a subsequent input having a subsequent path of motion that intersects the junction margin, performing a cross-screen movement operation to move the displayed element to an end point of the subsequent path of motion in the second display screen.
