Appeal No. 95-4809
Application 08/104,251
positioning a moveable cursor to locations on a display screen in
response to movement of a cursor positioning device;
remapping control of said cursor positioning device from controlling a
position of said moveable cursor to controlling both a scale and a
segment of said data field for display on said display screen, wherein
said cursor positioning device performs a dual function of controlling
movement of said cursor and controlling said scale and said
segment, depending on a signal indicated by a switch;
when control of said cursor positioning device is remapped:
increasing said scale at which the data field is displayed
according to movement of said cursor positioning device in a
first direction of a first axis, wherein sustained movement of
said cursor positioning device in said first direction of said first
axis continuously increases said scale at which said segment
of said data field is displayed;
decreasing the scale at which said data field is displayed
according to movement of said cursor positioning device in a
second direction in the first axis, wherein continuous
movement of said cursor positioning device in said second
direction of said first axis continuously decreases said scale at
which said segment of said data field is displayed;
controlling which segment of the data field is displayed
according to movement of said cursor positioning device in a
second axis, wherein continued movement of said cursor
positioning device relative to said second axis causes
successive segments of said data field to be displayed at the
scale which is selected by movement of said cursor
positioning device in said first axis.
