(57) Abstract :
The invention provides a system (10) and method for moving a cursor (16) in response to pointing device movements according to
a certain transfer function wherein the transfer function is such that when the cursor (16) hits the edge of the screen (12) and the
pointing device movement continues further beyond this point in a direction which cannot be followed by the cursor (16) due to
reaching the edge of the screen (12) the pointing device movement is remembered and the cursor (16) starts moving away from
the edge again when the pointing device (20) is moved back by the same distance as it was moved beyond the time point when
the cursor (16) had hit the edge of the screen (12); or wherein the transfer function is variable according to previous pointing
device movements
