Techniques for Choosing a Position on a Display Having a Cursor
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of choosing at least one position on a display having a cursor, comprising the steps of:
- responsive to a first user-initiated action, automatically moving the cursor in a predetermined during-selection mode; and
responsive to a second user-initiated action when the cursor is at a first location;
ceasing said moving of the cursor in said predetermined during-selection mode; and
causing a choosing action to be performed at said first location, whereby said first location is chosen as said at least one position.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for choosing a position on a display having a cursor. In one aspect, an exemplary method, which can be computer-implemented, includes the steps of automatically moving the cursor in a predetermined during-selection mode in response to a first user-initiated action, and, responsive to a second user-initiated action when the cursor is at a first location, ceasing the moving of the cursor in the predetermined during-selection mode, and causing a choosing action to be performed at the first location, such that the first location is chosen as the position
