Appeal No. 2004-1764 Page 3
Application No. 08/704,400
wherein, upon an initial application of force on said user-interface
by the user, the actual displacement speed of the cursor is variable within
a first speed range, and
wherein, upon a predetermined time interval after the initial
application of force on said user-interface by the user, the actual
displacement speed of the cursor is variably within a second speed range.
40. A data processing system, comprising:
a display;
a cursor controller connected to said display for displacement of a
cursor represented on said display; and
a user-interface coupled to said cursor controller, said user-
interface operable to sense a user-desired manipulation of the cursor
based on a time period of an application of force on said user-interface by
a user,
wherein, during the time period of the application of force on said
user-interface by the user,
at least one timing signal indicative of the user-desired
manipulation of the cursor as sensed by said user-interface is generated,
an actual displacement speed of the cursor as represented
by said display is variable within a first speed range when a total
generation of timing signals is less than a pre-specified number, and
the actual displacement speed of the cursor is variable within
a second speed range when the total generation of timing signals is equal
to or greater than the pre-specified number.
Claims 34-43 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by
European Patent Application Publication No. 0062133 A2 ("Levine").
