Computer system and method for changing display of components shown on a display device

1. A method comprising:

displaying a cursor on a display device with a computer system;

concurrently receiving a first user input by detecting a first touch with a first finger at a first location on a touch-sensitive device and a second user input by detecting a second touch with a second finger at a second location on the touch-sensitive device, wherein the first user input and the second user input are associated with movement of the cursor on the display device via the computer system; and

moving display of the cursor on the display device in a vector defined by the first user input and the second user input, the first user input defining a direction in which the cursor is moved on the display device, the second user input defining a speed at which the cursor is moved on the display device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the touch-sensitive device is integrated with the display device of the computer system.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein moving the display of the cursor includes increasing the speed at which the cursor is moved responsive to the first touch and the second touch of the touch-sensitive device moving away from each other.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein moving the display of the cursor includes decreasing the speed at which the cursor is moved responsive to the first touch and the second touch of the touch-sensitive device moving toward each other.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the touch-sensitive device is separate from the display device of the computer system.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising increasing the speed at which the cursor is moved responsive to the second user input.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising decreasing the speed at which the cursor is moved response to the second user input.

8. A system comprising:

a display device;

a touch-sensitive device; and

one or more processors configured to display a cursor on the display device with a computer system;

wherein the one or more processors are configured to concurrently receive a first user input by detecting a first touch with a first finger at a first location on the touch-sensitive device and a second user input by detecting a second touch with a second finger at a second location on the touch-sensitive device;

wherein the one or more processors are configured to move a display of a cursor on the display device in a vector defined by the first user input and the second user input, the first user input defining a direction in which the cursor is moved on the display device, the second user input defining a speed at which the cursor is moved on the display device.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the touch-sensitive device of the computer system is integrated with the display device.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the speed of the cursor is configured to increase responsive to the first touch and the second touch of the touch-sensitive device moving away from each other.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the speed of the cursor is configured to decrease responsive to the first touch and the second touch of the touch-sensitive device moving toward each other.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the touch-sensitive device is separate from the display device of the computer system.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to increase the speed at which the cursor is moved responsive to the second user input.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to decrease the speed at which the cursor is moved responsive to the second user input.

15. A method comprising:

displaying an ultrasound image and a cursor on a display device with an ultrasound imaging system;

concurrently receiving a first user input from an input device and a second user input by detecting a touch on a touch-sensitive device, wherein the input device is different than the touch-sensitive device; and

moving display of the cursor on the display device in a vector defined by the first user input and the second user input, the first user input defining a direction in which the cursor is moved on the display device, the second user input defining a speed at which the cursor is moved on the display device.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the input device is a track ball.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the input device is an electronic mouse.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the input device is one or more of a track ball, an electronic mouse, a keyboard, or a stylus of a computer system.

19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising increasing the speed at which the cursor is moved responsive to the second user input.

20. The method of claim 15 , further comprising decreasing the speed at which the cursor is moved responsive to the second user input.
