PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for cursor control which is adaptive to different operation environment and enable stabler and smoother cursor control on a display having any resolution. SOLUTION: By this method, cursor movement and localization on a display are controlled by detecting the movement of a hand and the proportional localization number of a different speed section is represented in direct proportion to movement increments of a cursor and the hand. Consequently, the movement range of the hand is reduced to <=0.5 inch and stable, fast, smooth, and precise control over the cursor can be performed on a display with any resolution.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling a cursor, and more particularly to a method and an apparatus for accurately controlling a cursor movement and localization in a situation where a hand moves within a range of 0.5 inch, regardless of a resolution of a display. This is a cursor control method that can be controlled at the same time, encodes ergonomics, and can correspond to the entire display. Further, the present invention can be applied to a mouse, a trackball, a handwriting plate, a touchpad, a remote control, a joystick, and an operation panel of a notebook computer, all of which function by detecting hand movement.

[Prior art]

[0002] Control of the cursor on a computer display is typically a keyboard, mouse, trackball, touchpad and optic pen.
c pen) The cursor is moved on the display and a program is selected using a peripheral device such as a touch. However, the conventional method of controlling the movement and localization of the cursor using such a device is often inconvenient. The ball's 3D control makes it inconvenient to control the cursor, the touchpad requires the use of fingers to move and control the cursor, and the mouse has a mousepad or flat surface. Each has drawbacks such as the need to manually move a large area on the tabletop. Most of the currently popular mice have a resolution of 400 dpi (the cursor on the display moves one dot every time the mouse is moved by 0.06 mm). When the resolution of the display is 1280 dpi, the mouse moves about 8 cm. Otherwise, the cursor cannot move the entire screen. In order to move such a large area, the mouse must be lifted in each time, and repeating this operation over a long period of time may cause hand injury, contrary to ergonomics, and wide area movement Also shortens the lifespan of mice. Therefore, to reduce the moving distance of the mouse, 600 dpi (0.04 mm / pixel) and 800 dpi (0.03 mm / pixel) mice have come to the market, but for the user, 400 dpi is already exactly in hand. It is the optimal resolution that can be operated from pixel to pixel of the cursor on the screen. If the resolution is higher, the moving distance of the mouse can be shortened, but the cursor cannot be controlled precisely (2 to 3 pixels at a time). Movement), this has no meaning to improve. In addition, the conventional mouse can reduce the moving distance by operating the cursor to increase the displacement by using a cursor control method in which different amounts of displacement are provided at different speeds. Disadvantageously, the moving range becomes unstable and drifts. Therefore, with the conventional cursor input device, the moving range cannot be reduced, and it is very difficult to control precisely.

[0003] In order to solve the above problem, US Patent Nos. 4,782,327 and 49357.
No. 28 presents the method and structure of absolute coordinates, but these inventions all have a large size and, in addition, require a complicated control process and electric field surface for cursor movement, so that substantially more improvements are made. Have the disadvantages to be done. FIG. 1 shows a U.S. Pat.
tent) No. 4935728. This firmware design implements a method of moving absolute coordinates using two types of operation modes. When the cursor moves at a low speed of v1, the absolute position on the display can be finely displaced. This fine operation mode is used when the cursor moves fast.
The distance between the light and dark grid and the display corresponding to the light and dark grid is obtained from the light and dark grid left when the optical grid piece is moved from the distance left by the fine operation mode moving on the display. The value obtained in this way has a drawback that the calculation is inconvenient because it has a decimal point, and its structure cannot be adapted to each type of display, and furthermore, it is necessary to correspond to different hardware for displays of different resolutions. At the time of execution, data skipping becomes remarkable. For example, if a display having a resolution of 640 dots is made to correspond to the structure of the absolute coordinates of 320 dots, the cursor can move only half of the display, so that the cursor cannot be applied to 320 dots. It jumps directly to the next boundary of the display and moves to the right side, making it difficult to position the cursor. Similarly, at higher resolutions, 800 dots or 1280 dots, these phenomena are even more pronounced. In order to solve this problem, there is no way to enlarge the original structure in proportion, but the original volume itself is not already small, and if the volume is additionally increased, the operation becomes inconvenient, Further, it is necessary to make the hard disk compatible with displays of different resolutions, which is unacceptable to general users.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to adapt to users of different operating environments, and to realize a more stable and smooth cursor control on a display at any resolution. To provide a method and apparatus for cursor control.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To solve the above problems, a cursor control device of the present invention controls the movement and localization of a cursor on a display by detecting movement within a particular section of the hand. This particular section is divided into at least two coordinate axes. For each coordinate axis, there are at least two registers which determine the movement counts of the different speed sections. The cursor control device forms a single operation mode corresponding to the cursor control method of the present invention, wherein the operation mode detects a hand movement and switches to a different proportionality constant based on a different hand movement speed. And thus controls the position of the cursor on the display. The distance traveled by the cursor on the display is proportional to the distance traveled by the hand, and the proportionality constant is determined by each of the different speed sections. The cursor control method of the present invention has the following advantages. (1) The moving range of the hand can be set to 0.5 inch or less, and different proportional constants corresponding to different speed sections exist respectively, and the moving amount of the cursor and the moving amount of the hand are directly proportional. (2) No matter where the cursor is located in the display, a fine displacement is always formed around it, and the cursor is usable. (3) The moving distance of the cursor and the moving distance and position of the hand correspond to each other, and if the hand is moved quickly, the speed of the cursor is also increased, so that the operation becomes very smooth and precise. (4) Since there are at least two registers for each axis, the cursor on the display can accurately return to its original position.

[0006] Comparing the present invention with the prior art will highlight the advantages of the present invention. (1) By using the control method of the present invention,
Optimal resolution for user operation (about 400 dpi)
The disadvantage that the moving distance of the mouse is too long in the above is solved. The hand movement distance required in the present invention is 0.5 inch or less, which is much smaller than the case where a special input device of 800 dpi is used (the movement distance is about 1.5 inches). And also achieve fine displacement of the cursor. As shown in FIG. 2, C1 is a fine displacement section, C2 is an intermediate speed section, and C3 is a high speed section. As can be seen from the figure, no matter where the cursor moves, there is no surrounding area. Always Fine Displacement Fine Displacement Section (fine
displacement section) is formed and ready for use. In addition, the cursor control device of the present invention has a small moving range, so that the life of the device can be extended.In addition, there is no need to move the arm to move the cursor, and only the wrist needs to be used within the small moving range. Therefore, the arm is not hurt or the shoulder is not stiff due to fatigue due to prolonged use, and the configuration is completely ergonomic. (2) It can be used with any type of cursor control device, and can be combined with any computer peripheral devices such as keyboard, mobile notebook, joystick, mobile phone, internet phone, TV remote control, etc. 4
reference). (3) PC-TV, WEB-TV, and HDTV are the future trends of computer communication equipment. However, because the resolution of the display is high, the moving range of the conventional cursor control device must be expanded, and the localization is further increased. The problem that it is difficult to remove occurs. However, the present invention only sets different proportionality constants and does not change the hand movement range (0.
Accurate (pixel t) under the condition of 5 inches or less
o pixel) The displacement of the cursor can be controlled. It should be noted that the present invention before the improvement implements a procedure of adding 2 to the register C1 of the lowest speed section and subtracting 1 only in the high speed section, thereby obtaining a fine displacement section around the cursor. (Fine displacement sectio
n), but due to the higher resolution of the display, the fine displacement section around the cursor (fine displacementsectio)
n) had the disadvantage that it was relatively small and the speed of the cursor was too high. Therefore, in addition to the above-described procedure, a procedure of executing the subscription when the value of the register of the relatively low-speed section does not reach the intermediate value (the intermediate value may be half of the maximum value or a certain specified value), The cursor is always located near the center of the fine displacement section, and in the conventional invention, the fine displacement section (fine) around the cursor is occasionally used.
displacement section) not necessarily in the center,
The shortcoming of that was eliminated. (4) It has the advantages of speed control (small movement range) and absolute coordinates (the center point and the boundary do not drift), realizes fast, stable and accurate cursor control, and does not take up space for control. (5) If this absolute coordinate cursor control device is used, it is possible to operate the base sheet in any state, such as a flat surface, an inclined surface, a curved surface, an uneven surface, and a vertical surface, without having to clean the mouse. There is no problem such as machine wear due to long-term use. Most importantly, as you can see by comparing this structure with the conventional absolute coordinates, the XY axis operated by the palm, that is, the XY axis of the finger control unit, matches the thought direction of the human with the grip force direction of the human body,
Whatever the state of the base sheet, it can be installed without being affected by it at all. (6) By setting the values of K and C (set by the drive program or executed by switching hardware), the operation becomes stable and accurate under various situations. For example, when operating in Windows mode, the cursor rarely moves from pixel to pixel, ie, register C1 (K =
The use of 1) is less, whereas the use of C2 is more frequent (moving the cursor to a 2-3 mm command section). Therefore, if the value of C1max is set small and the value of C2max is set large, the best operation environment can be formed. (7) With the use of the wireless cursor control device of the present invention, the disadvantage that a conventional wireless product causes a jump when transferring data is eliminated, and furthermore, the location where the device is located must be flat. There is no limitation (an uneven surface, a curved surface, a vertical surface, etc.).

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The cursor control method and apparatus of the present invention detects hand movements and generates and uses digital signals (optical signals, electric signals, magnetic signals, etc.). The cursor control method of the present invention determines the data reception speed, which belongs to one speed section (having at least two speed sections V1, V2,..., Vn). This speed section has different proportional constants K1, K2,.
Respectively. The amount of cursor movement on the display represented by these K values is directly proportional to the amount of movement of the detected hand. Taking two speed sections (ie one speed level) as an example, the values of K1 and K2 are (1,
2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,4), etc.
These set values of K1 and K2 can be set in parameters, and the user can select the set values by a drive program or hardware keys. Formula 1: C1max + C2max = C and Formula 2, (K1 * C
1max) + (K2 * C2max) = display resolution As can be seen, the values of C1max and C2max in the registers of the different speed sections are already parameterized by the different display resolutions. Therefore, when the resolution of the display is increased, K2
Is increased, the entire display can be accommodated without increasing the moving range of the hand (that is, without changing the value of C). The value of K2 also increases as the resolution of the display increases, but the minimum movement pixel of the display is also reduced, so that the movement of the cursor on the display is stable and smooth.

The display X-axis resolution is 640, and the minimum moving distance of the hand is 0.06 mm. That is, the resolution currently used is 400 dpi (400 dots / 1 inch, 25.4 m).
m / 400, 0.06 mm); the distance of the optical grid piece is 196 × 0.06 mm = 11.76 mm; 640 = (1 * C1max) + (4 * C2max), K1 =
1, K2 = 4 196 = C1max + C2max∴C2max = 148, C1max = 58; When the display resolution increases from 640 to 1024, the distance between the dots of the display is reduced.
Increasing K2 from 4 to 7 does not affect the stability of cursor movement on the display. Furthermore, the cursor performs a fine displacement from dot to dot in fine displacement mode, even if the resolution of the display changes. Since the moving range is not reduced by the method of decreasing the illuminance of the light grid and the distance between the grids (do not increase the resolution) as in the related art, when the finger moves by one grid, the cursor on the display moves by two or three. There is no such thing as moving the grid. The example below is
The cursor control method according to the present invention is applied to a method in which a human hand is controlled by a user.
This proves that the cursor on the display b having the resolution of 1280 can be accurately controlled only by moving the area within 5 inches. First, K1 = 1, K2 = 5, K3 =
When 10 is programmed into three speed sections, each different according to its proportional increase in travel, the number of grids in the light grid piece is reduced as shown below. Xaxis 1280 = (1 * C1max) + (5 * C2max) + (10 * C3max) = (1 * 20) + (5 * 20) + (10 * 116) C1max = 20, C2max = 20, C3max = 116 C1max + C2max + C3max = 156 Yaxis1024 = (1 * C1max) + (5 * C2max) + (10 * C3max) = (1 * 19) + (5 * 21) + (10 * 90) C1max = 19, C2max = 21, C3max = 90 C1max + C2max + C3max = 130 The length of the above light grid is: X axis = 156 * 0.06 = 9.36 mm (<0.5 inch, 12.52 mm) Y axis = 130 * 0.06 = 7.8 mm (<0.5 inch) This allows n speed sections to be programmed, and formulas 1, 2, and 3 are converted to formulas 4, 5, 6
You just need to replace

As can be seen from the foregoing, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for cursor control, which allows control of the cursor over a travel range of 0.5 inches or less, and not only encodes ergonomics, but also uses an absolute coordinate system. It supports the entire display and has a function to execute automatic scrolling and rapid movement to the boundary. As described above, the finger is moved at high speed so that the periphery of the cursor can be used in the fine displacement section on the display, and 2 is added to the value obtained from the high-speed register, and The process of subtracting one involves a fine displacement section around the cursor.
section) to completely improve the disadvantage that the conventional invention loses the localization accuracy after finishing the movement of the fine displacement section. However, some disadvantages still remain in practical use. First, the available fine displacement section
The cursor stays in the fine displacement section (fine dis
placement section). Also, since only C1 tends to approach C1max / 2, when the cursor moves, C2, C3,... Sometimes become saturated, so that the movement from the minimum speed to the maximum speed at a stroke occurs. Become stable. further,
As the resolution of the display increases, the distance between the dots on the display decreases, as opposed to the fine displacement section.
area of the display on the display is reduced, and it becomes more difficult to position the cursor as compared with the case of low resolution. And
In the Windows operation system, since the input and output of the command operation are complicated, the movement amount when C1 is used is too long, and at this time, it is appropriate to use C2 (the command section is all three to three).
Because it is a square of 4mm, pixel to pixel t
However, since C2 does not execute the procedure of adding 2 and subtracting 1, C2 often becomes saturated and becomes unusable.

Therefore, regardless of whether the cursor on the display is in the positive direction or the negative direction, the cursor is always set to the fine displacement section so that the fine displacement can be sufficiently used. In addition to the procedure of moving the finger closer to the center and moving the finger at high speed, adding 2 to the value of the high speed register and subtracting 1 from the value of the lowest speed register, the value of the register in the lowest speed section is half of the maximum value. When the value is less than (or a certain specified value), the value of the lowest speed register is made closer to half of the maximum value by executing a step of directly adding the data value. This ensures that the cursor is not necessarily in the fine displacement section (fine d
The disadvantage of staying away from the center of the isplacement section is completely eliminated. In addition, 2 performed only for C1
The procedure of adding and subtracting 1 is called C1 and C1 in the present invention.
2 and a step of adding 1 directly, C1 and C2 can be brought close to the intermediate value as much as possible. In addition, the fine displacement section is enlarged, and it is originally 40 (1). * C1max was 120 (C1max)
+ 2 × C2max), and the moving speed of the cursor is more stable, and the selection is quicker and easier.

In order to make the features of the present invention more apparent, the following description will be given by way of example. For example, when the X axis resolution of the display is 640; X axis 640 = (1 * C1max) + (2 * C2max) + (4 * C3max) = (1 * 40) + (2 * 40) + (4 * 130) C1max = 40, C2max = 40, C3max = 130 C1max + C2max + C3max = 210 At this time, the hand movement range is 210 * 0.06 mm = 12.6 mm.
It is. As the display resolution increases, for example, 1
If it becomes 280, the maximum value of all registers is set to twice the original value, or the proportional constant of the high-speed register is increased. The two methods are as follows. When the display resolution is 1280, C1ma
Although the values of x, C2max, and C3max can be set to twice the original values (method 1), this is not a particularly good way, because the amount of movement is correspondingly reduced by two. In addition to the doubled movement range, the moving range of the cursor is not only increased, but also at the same moving speed of the hand, the moving speed of the cursor is halved from the original speed, which imposes a burden on operation. But this involves a fine displacement sectio
The advantage of n) is that the area is not reduced. In order not to increase the movement range of the hand, K3 can be increased (method 2). For example, if it is increased by 10, Xaxis1280 = (1 * C1max) + (2 * C2max) + (10 * C3max) = (1 * 40) + (2 * 40) + (10 * 145) C1max = 40, C2max = 40, C3max = 116 C1max + C2max + C3max = 196 At this time, the displacement of the hand is 196 * 0.06 mm and 11.76 mm. Although this method achieves cursor localization on high resolution displays without increasing the range of movement, it still has two disadvantages. One is that the difference between the values of K2 and K3 is too large, so that when the speed changes from low speed to high speed or from high speed to low speed, the speed of the cursor changes greatly, and stability like a low-resolution display cannot be obtained. Second, even if the display resolution is doubled, C1max and C2max
Since the max remains unchanged, the fine displacement section of the display (fine displacement
The area of the section is smaller than the low resolution area (a quarter of the original), and the moving speed in the fine displacement section is also a half of the original.

Methods 1 and 2 described above each have advantages and disadvantages. To overcome these drawbacks, the present invention provides the method described below. It adds one more register, adds 2 to this register, subtracts 1, and adds 1 directly to the register. The sub-fine displacement section is also set around the cursor.
acement section) so that the area of the fine displacement section around the cursor does not decrease as the resolution of the display increases, and when changing from low speed to high speed or from high speed to low speed, C2 And C3 are always near half of their maximum value, so the cursor speed is K2
Is directly proportional to the moving distance of the hand following the order of K3,.
Excessive speed changes do not occur due to the saturated values of the registers C3,..., So that the movement can be performed very smoothly. An example is given below. X axis 1280 = (1 * C1max) + (2 * C2max) + (4 * C3max) + (10 * C4max) = (1 * 40) + (2 * 40) + (4 * 30) + (8 * 104) C1max = 40, C2max = 40, C3max = 116, C4max = 104 C1max + C2max + C3max + C4max = 214 At this time, the fine displacement section (fine
The displacement section is 240 (ie C1max + C2m)
ax + C3max + C4max = 240) and the resolution is 12
The area occupied on the 80 display is as large as the fine displacement section of the 640 resolution display.
Further, by adding the register C3, the displacement increase amount is four times as large as the hand movement increase.
The moving speed on the 280 display and the increase in displacement of C2 became the same as the moving speed on the display with the resolution of 640. In this way, the cursor performs a stable speed change without reducing (or expanding) the area of the fine displacement section and without expanding (or reducing) the moving range. In addition, the selection of commands can be made as easy as at low resolution, and furthermore, there are advantages such as not decelerating even when in the fine displacement section. As can be seen from the above, the present invention does not increase the range of motion and can be applied to high resolution displays without reducing the area of the fine displacement section, as smooth as in low resolution displays. Performs movement, and also enables fast, stable and accurate cursor control within a small area. Currently, displays with a resolution of 2000 are already on the market,
No matter how high the resolution of the display, the method of the cursor control of the present invention does not increase the range of movement and the fine displacement section (fine d)
It is possible to support high-resolution displays without reducing the area of the isplacement section, and in each case, the number of registers can be increased by an appropriate number depending on the resolution of the display.

FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of the cursor control method of the present invention. The flowchart describes how to move the cursor in the positive direction of the X-axis. Also, the control method of the movement in the Y-axis (or Z-axis) and the movement in the negative direction is based on the same theory, and will not be described again. First, the proportional constant K
1, K2,..., Kn, the maximum values C1, C2 of the registers corresponding to the different speed sections V1, V2,..., Vn of each axis (these speed sections are defined by speed levels; see Table 1). C2, ..., C
n (you may set the initial value of the register)
The value of n is 2 or more (step A). The cursor control device detects the movement of the hand, and when the hand moves in the positive direction, the digital signal emitted by the cursor control device is read (step B). In which speed section the speed Vx is located (steps C1 and C1)
2,..., Cn-1) are determined. The process further includes a step Di, in which the numerical data is added to the register Ci until it is greater than or equal to Cimax, followed by the addition of the remaining numbers to the register Ci-1 so that the value in the register is greater than or equal to Ci-1max. This is continued until Ci-2, Ci-3, ..., C1, Ci + 1, C
It is sufficient to execute the same steps as for the register in accordance with the order of i + 2,..., Cn, and 1 <= i <n. In the next step, all the register values are transferred, and at the same time, the position of the cursor on the display is displayed from the sum of the product of each proportional constant and the value of each variable, and the value K1 * C
The cursor is controlled by 1 + K2 * C2 +... Kn * Cn. For example, if the speed of the data transferred by the cursor control device is lower than the minimum speed level v (1) (step C1), that is, if this speed is in the first speed section V1, step D1 is executed. In addition, this method uses the stored value of the register C
It is determined whether it is 1 max or more. If not,
One is added to the register value (step ai), and then the register value is transferred. If the accumulated value of the register is C
If it is equal to or greater than 1max, the displacement of the cursor is set in direct proportion to the displacement of the hand which is a multiple of K2, a value obtained by adding 1 to the value of the register C2 is transferred, and the other registers are executed by the same process. You.

The most important step in the flowchart of FIG. 4 is step Dn. Step E1 is executed only when the value of the register does not reach Cnmax or more.
Step Dn determines whether the value of the register Cn is the maximum value. If not, step D
When the value of the register Cn is the maximum value, the step E1 is executed. Step E1 is to determine whether the value of the register C1 is an intermediate value (C1max / 2 or a certain designated value, here, half of the maximum value, C1max / 2).
If not, the process proceeds to step F1 and proceeds to step a1 or step b1.
1 (Step F1 determines whether the cursor is in the fine displacement section and makes registers C1, C2,..., And Ch close to the intermediate value), and then executes Step G . If the value of register C1 is equal to the intermediate value,
Proceed to step E2, and then execute in the same process as in step E1, until step Eh. This h is an arbitrary value less than n. Further, step an and step G are executed. In step Ei, the value of the register Ci is C
determine if it is equal to imax / 2, and if not,
At step Fi, steps ai or bi are executed, and if they are equal, the procedure proceeds to step Ei + 1. In other words, in this control process, no matter where the cursor is moved on the display, a fine displacement is always created around the cursor so that it can be used. The above step ai shows a procedure for adding 1 to the value of the register Ci, and step bi shows a procedure for subtracting 1 from the value of the register Ci and adding 2 to the value of the register Cn. The flowchart for controlling the cursor in the negative direction is similar to the flowchart for the positive direction in FIG.
(The speed Vx is changed to the speed V
y or Vz).

The flowchart of the present invention shown in FIG. 5 can be applied as follows without changing the gist of the present invention. 1. Step Di can add the data value to register Ci until it is equal to Cmax;
The remaining values can be added to the registers corresponding to the low-speed sections, according to their order. 2. Steps ai and bi are performed not only when the movement speed of the hand is within the fastest speed section, but the flowchart adds the data values to registers C1, C2,... Ch and Cj for reception. (The speed of data is speed section V
j), and at the same time, register order C
1, C2,..., Ch can be made to approach an intermediate value (for example, half of the maximum value). The value is 1 <=
h <j <= n. 3. The cursor control method of the present invention can be set such that the constant k divides the registers into two subgroups. The first subgroup is a low-speed group, and includes registers C1, C2,... Ck-1 and other subgroups. The other is a high-speed group, and registers Ck,
Ck + 1,... Cn. When the data speed is within the speed sections Vk, Vk + 1... Vn, add N to the registers in the low-speed group, subtract N from the registers in the high-speed group, and set at least one or more registers in the low-speed group to an intermediate value. Bring them closer. At this time, N is an integer (-3,-
5, 5, 6, 10, etc.). This integer N speeds up the approach process. 4. There are two types of data transfer methods, one is to transfer data periodically at a fixed time, and the other is to detect and transfer data every time it moves. Therefore, there are two types of judgment, the former being determined by the number of signals transferred within a certain time, and the latter being determined by the time interval of the counting signal. 5. Using a periodic transfer method, N counting signals can be processed at a time, for example, 1 in high speed sections.
0 count signals can be received at a time, and the register C
If the value of 1 is 5 less than C1max, 5 can be added to the register at one time. A better way is to increase or decrease the values of several registers simultaneously to an intermediate value. For example, if the value g of register C1 is less than C1max / 2 and the value of register C2 is greater than 3 than C2max / 2, and seven counts are read, registers C1 and C2 are simultaneously equal to the intermediate value. . 6. The method of the present invention can also be achieved using a circuit of a cursor control device. That is, a setting device (means), a reading device, a speed determining device, a calculating device,
At least one of the approach device and the output device includes a circuit of a cursor control device. 7. The method of the present invention executed by the cursor control program, in other words, the cursor control device generates and transfers digital data only by detecting the movement of the hand, the setting device, the reading device, the speed determining device, the calculating device, At least one of the approach device and the output device includes a drive program or a system program other than the cursor control device. At this time, registers are set to variables in these programs. 8. By subtracting the coordinate value of the previous cursor from the coordinate value of the current cursor to obtain a relative coordinate value, it is also possible to apply this cursor control device to a general computer. 9. The proportional constant may be changed to an acceleration proportional constant, and the number of dots for cursor movement on the display may be increased in accordance with a change in acceleration of the cursor control device. As is apparent from the above description, the present invention relates the moving speed and position of the cursor, the moving speed and position of the hand,
It has the advantages of stability, quickness and precision, and the cursor control device allows the cursor to always return to its original position accurately. The cursor control method of the present invention can also be applied to a keyboard or other input devices, and in each case, the cursor on the display is controlled by a control circuit, a drive program, or another system program.

FIGS. 7 and 8 show a first embodiment of the cursor control device according to the present invention. This cursor control device is designed to be small and waterproof,
Tightly coated for dust protection. Therefore, the present invention is suitable for use in a dusty place such as a factory, and has solved the drawbacks of the conventional technology such as excessive volume and difficulty in localization.
