METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR SYNCHRONIZING CURSOR EVENTS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a cursor event of a cursor presented within and associated with a sourcing window of a user interface that also includes a sourced window, wherein the cursor of the sourcing window indicates a geographical location within the geographical area presented by the sourcing window;
communicating information reflecting the cursor event to the sourced window, wherein another cursor is presented within and associated with the sourced window; and
in response thereto,subjecting the cursor of the sourced window to the cursor event reflected by the information to thereby synchronize a cursor event of the cursor of the sourced window with the cursor event of the cursor of the sourcing window, wherein the cursor of the sourced window having been subjected to the cursor event indicates the geographical location indicated by the cursor of the sourcing window.

Abstract
An apparatus for synchronizing cursor events may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive an indication of a cursor event of a cursor presented within and associated with a sourcing window of a user interface that also includes a sourced window, wherein the cursor of the sourcing window indicates a geographical location within the geographical area presented by the sourcing window. Additionally, the processor may be configured to communicate information reflecting the cursor event to the sourced window. The processor may further be configured to subject the cursor of the sourced window to the cursor event reflected by the information to thereby synchronize a cursor event of the cursor of the sourced window with the cursor event of the cursor of the sourcing window, wherein the cursor of the sourced window indicates the geographical location indicated by the cursor of the sourcing window.

10. A computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
program code instructions for receiving an indication of a cursor event of a cursor presented within and associated with a sourcing window of a user interface that also includes a sourced window, wherein the cursor of the sourcing window indicates a geographical location within the geographical area presented by the sourcing window; program code instructions for communicating information reflecting the cursor event to the sourced window, wherein another cursor is presented within and associated with the sourced window; and
in response thereto, program code instructions for subjecting the cursor of the sourced window to the cursor event reflected by the information to thereby synchronize a cursor event of the cursor of the sourced window with the cursor event of the cursor of the sourcing window, wherein the cursor of the sourced window having been subjected to the cursor event indicates the geographical location indicated by the cursor of the sourcing. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
