Abstract
A cursor control system and method of implementing same is provided for adjusting the cursor blinking frequency so that the cursor blinks on the display screen at a frequency which i a function (linear or non-linear) of a measured physical condition (e.g. pulse rate) of the user. For example, the cursor frequency may be adjusted so that the cursor blinks on the display screen at a rate or frequency corresponding to the measured pulse rate of the user.
Claims16
A method of adjusting the blinking frequency of a cursor on a computer display screen, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a computer display screen having a cursor displayed thereon, the cursor blinking at a blinking frequency;
- b) measuring the pulse rate of a user of the display screen;
- c) forwarding data indicative of the measured pulse rate of the user to the computer;
- and
- d) adjusting the cursor blinking frequency in response to the measured pulse rate.
A cursor control system for controlling the blinking frequency of a cursor on a computer display screen, the system comprising:
- a display screen;
- a cursor displayed on said display screen and blinking at a cursor blinking frequency;
- a pulse measuring device for measuring the pulse rate of a user of said display screen;
- and
- means for adjusting the cursor blinking frequency in accordance with the measured pulse rate of the user so that the frequency at which the cursor blinks on the display screen is a function of the measured pulse rate of the user.
A method of adjusting the blinking frequency of a cursor on a computer display screen so that the displayed cursor blinks at a frequency which is a function of a physical condition of the user, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a computer display screen having the cursor displayed thereon, the cursor blinking at a blinking frequency;
- b) measuring a physical or mental condition of the user;
- and
- c) adjusting the cursor blinking frequency in response to the measured pulse rate so that the cursor blinks on the screen at a frequency which is a function of the measured physical or mental condition of the user.
