Cursor positioning via voice recognition
First Claim
1. A cursor positioning system operatively connected to a cursor control rendering subsystem for controlling the cursor position on an aircraft cockpit computer display system, comprising:
- a) a coarse positioning subsystem for providing a coarse positioning signal to a cursor control and rendering subsystem of a computer display system, said computer display system comprising a plurality of displays of an aircraft cockpit, said coarse positioning subsystem comprising a voice recognition system, said coarse positioning signal for providing coarse positioning of a cursor in a discontinuous manner to a named region of interest (ROI) on a computer display of the computer display system only in response to an operator'"'"'s voice, said ROI defining a plurality of items; and
,b) a fine positioning subsystem operatively associated with said coarse positioning subsystem for providing a fine positioning signal to the cursor control and rendering subsystem, said fine positioning signal for providing fine positioning of the cursor after said coarse positioning, for selecting said items within said ROI on the computer display, said fine positioning subsystem being operatively associatable with a non-voice actuated cursor control device.

Abstract
A cursor positioning system for a computer display system includes a coarse positioning subsystem and a fine positioning subsystem. The coarse positioning subsystem provides a coarse positioning signal to a cursor control and rendering subsystem of a computer display system. The coarse positioning subsystem includes a voice recognition system. The coarse positioning signal provides coarse positioning of a cursor to a region of interest (ROI) on a computer display of the computer display system. The fine positioning subsystem is operatively associated with the coarse positioning subsystem for providing a fine positioning signal to the cursor control and rendering subsystem. The fine positioning signal provides fine positioning of the cursor within the ROI on the computer display. The fine positioning subsystem is operatively associatable with a cursor control device.
