Abstract

A device for controlling a conversion ratio of a movement amount of a cursor includes units that: confirms whether a change of resolution is within a correction target range, based on resolution information obtained by a display terminal device; that calculate the movement amount of input values obtained from a pointing device; calculate a movement correction coefficient according to the calculated movement amount calculate a ratio correction coefficient based on a ratio of the resolution to a reference resolution; calculate a display correction coefficient based on the movement correction coefficient and the ratio correction coefficient; and calculate output values determining the movement amount of the cursor, based on the display correction coefficient and the input values.

Claims (20)

1. A device for controlling a conversion ratio of a movement amount of a cursor that determines the movement amount of the cursor in a display terminal device by reflecting resolution information obtained by the display terminal device in input values obtained by a pointing device, comprising:

an aspect ratio confirming unit that confirms whether a change of resolution is within a correction target range, based on the resolution information obtained by the display terminal device;

a movement amount calculating unit that calculates the movement amount of the input values obtained by the pointing device;

a movement correction coefficient calculating unit that calculates a movement correction coefficient according to the movement amount calculated by the movement amount calculating unit;

a ratio correction coefficient calculating unit that calculates a ratio correction coefficient based on a ratio of the resolution obtained by the display terminal device to a reference resolution;

a display correction coefficient calculating unit that calculates a display correction coefficient based on the movement correction coefficient and the ratio correction coefficient; and

an output value calculating unit that calculates output values determining the movement amount of the cursor, based on the display correction coefficient and the input values,

wherein the aspect ratio confirming unit outputs the input values to the movement amount calculating unit, only when information on a change of the aspect ratio obtained by the display terminal device is within the correction target range.

2. The device for controlling a conversion ratio of a movement amount of a cursor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the movement correction coefficient calculating unit uses a common value as the movement correction coefficient reflected in the output values composed of an x component and a y component that determine the movement amount of the cursor.

3. The device for controlling a conversion ratio of a movement amount of a cursor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the movement correction coefficient is changed by a device movement amount and is divided into plural values according to the movement amount.

4. A method of controlling a conversion ratio of a movement amount of a cursor that determines the movement amount of the cursor in a display terminal device by reflecting resolution information obtained by the display terminal device in input values obtained by a pointing device, comprising:

calculating a display correction coefficient based on a ratio correction coefficient obtained by a change of resolution and a movement correction coefficient determined by the input values; and

reflecting output values obtained from the display correction coefficient and the input values in the movement amount of the cursor,

wherein information on a change of an aspect ratio that indicates the resolution obtained by the display terminal device is reflected in the output values, only when the change of the resolution is within a correction target range.

5. The method of controlling a conversion ratio of a movement amount of a cursor according to claim 4 ,

wherein a common value is used as the movement correction coefficient reflected in the output values composed of an x component and a y component that determine the movement amount of the cursor.

6. The method of controlling a conversion ratio of a movement amount of a cursor according to claim 4 ,

wherein the movement correction coefficient is changed by a device movement amount and is divided into plural values according to the movement amount.
