Computer input device and method of using the device
First Claim
1. A method of using a hand-held device comprising a display, the method comprising:
- determining a new cursor position in response to a change of position of the hand-held device;
determining screen image data representing a window of an image, the window being positionally referenced to the new cursor position;
displaying the window of the image on the display of the hand-held device in response to the screen image data when the hand-held device is operated in a remote mode, wherein the display of the hand-held device is connected to a bus along with a processor of the hand-held device; and
displaying on the display of the hand-held device an image in response to local image data and a cursor icon overlaid on the image when the hand-held device is operated in a local mode, the image displayed representing a fractional portion of the local image data that is selected in response to the new cursor position.

Abstract
A hand-held device includes a display, a position sensor, a communication port operable to receive screen image data, and a processor. The processor is operable to determine a new cursor position in response to a change of position detected by the position sensor. The processor is additionally operable either to display on the display a window of an image positionally referenced to the new cursor position in response to screen image data when the hand-held device is operated in a remote mode. Alternatively, the processor is operable to display on the display a local image in response to local image data and a cursor icon overlaid on the local image when the hand-held device is operated in a local mode. The image displayed represents a fractional portion of the local image data, and the fractional portion is selected in response to the new cursor position.
